My First Time Grow-

Hello, This is my first post after lurking for some months.

Started growing a Snow white plant from seed which i'd like a take a clone or two when ready.
I dont know much about growing so any help/ Advise would be great!

I'm growing in a box whick is 2.5 foot x 2 foot x 3.3 foot hight and running 4-26watt clf bulbs and 2, 2 foot tubes running up the sides. i know they are not the best to grow with but they are my only option atm.
Runing p.c fans to keep heat down, 2 sucking in, 1 blowing out and 1 keeping the cfl's and plant cool.

The seed broke the surface of the soil on sunday monring, so have been growing now 5 days. She look good i think but like i said i dont know much and any help would be great.

So i'm open to al suggestions

Il keep you updated through out the grow!


P.s be gentle!

Help me out people, please!

Anyone want to help?

Looks like the plant is getting ready to do some stretching. Get those lights a few inches from them . That ventilation will do for now but you should simplify it with a more powerful upgrade. Start searching for the quietest inline fan around, you dont need a lot of CMF for that space so it should be hard. You could always 4" duct channel those 12v's as well. I would recomend more exhuast than intake. So change your numbers there.

If you have more specific questions, I'll try to help. Keep reading. There is a wealth of info on the net and on this site. Post updated pics, Im curious. Been a few days now.

ok, Here is a update!
She has 4 lights within 2 inches of her, Doesnt seem to be stretching but i dont know a lot lol.
Her newer sets of leaves are looking a little Yellow/Green. I dont know wheather its because there are young.

temps at around 80, 24/7 lighting, watering whenever the soil feels dry. J.a.b's soil if that helps.

Does anyone know if the colour of the leaves are/will be a problem.

Sorry about the quality of the pic's

I would just keep doing what you are doing. From the looks of it, it will come around. I would also say that upward reach of the leaves is just phototropism. I can't see the yellowing in the pics very well but I wouldn't worry too much.

The best thing you can do for it at that age is consistency. It will be easier to diagnose the problem and/or make necessary adjustments as it gets a little older.

I see other soil filled spots for plants but their empty, whats up with that.

A quick correction on my initial reply; " you don't need a lot of CMF for that space so it should'NT be hard"

Good luck, keep me posted.
