Help on First Grow

Hey, I'm doing my first grow and I've been noticing that my plants seem to be a little bit on the small side, at least compared to some of the other seedlings I've seen through the forums and online. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for a newbie! In total, I've got 6 plants, I've got pictures of the 3 largest and the 3 i'm more concerned about. I'm using 3 CFL's, 2 are 6500k and the other is 3000k, set up is in a large closet with a fan for ventilation, and the soil is FoxFarm's All Purpose soil. My lights are on 24 hours, and I've cut back on watering them since I was watering far too often at the sprout. The ones in the pictures are about 1.5 weeks old. Any suggestions?

I also have fertilizer ready to go, but am waiting until they get bigger and healthier.

You may have slowed things down a bit by overwatering. They look fine. Patience grasshopper

I think you could use a bit more light.

My opinion also, could use more lights. 6 plants is a lot for 3 cfl's. Not to bad tho, grow on...

How much more light should I strive for? the 2 in the smaller pots are about 4 - 5 inches from the buld and the other is around 8 - 9 inches away. I'm still trying to learn/figure out the light outtage per plant.

I start with 1 26 watt 6500k bulb per plant. I put the plants 1 1/2 inches from the light. I only grow mine for 4 weeks and then outside. If you're going to leave them inside you want as close to 100 w per plant as possible, but you will have heat issues. Do some reading. There are a lot of cfl grows on this forum. They will tell you everything you need to know.

I think I'm going to have to go down to just the 3 plants for now...maybe set the other 3 outside for shits and giggles. see how they do.

Good idea, I was thinking of sugesting the same thing.
