SO RIGHT NOW I GOT ABOUT 9 PLANTS GROWING. ITS ALL BAGSEED. I HAVE 3 PARTY CUPS WITH ONLY ONE PLANT IN THEM. THEN I GOT ONE PARTY CUP AND HAVE 4 IN THAT ONE LOL (I JUST THREW THE REST IN THERE TO SCREW AROUND) THEN I GOT ANOTHER CONTAINER WITH 2.

April 9th - started germinating seeds

April 12th - put seeds in soil

April 13th - seedS sprouted. currently have 2 27watt cfl's (100 watt equivalent)
Total of 3500 lumens. Adding more cfls as plant progresses


check em out and give any suggestions or advise. i know they are a little stretched i had the light a little far away forgot to adjust them. but i have moved them now

not lookin too bad. obviously you will have to transfer the plants to bigger pots and the least number of times you transfer the better. try to only transplant them once.

yeah i know that much and to be very careful not to stress em too much while transplanting. i will probly transplant them after they develop like therr 3rd set of leaves. but i dont really know how to tell exactly when the proper time to transplant is

Well they look as good as they can get, pot up from small containers to larger containers and remember good soil thesedays from most garden centers and stores has plenty nutrients and fertilizers in for first few weeks so don't be so eager to fertilize either. I know people use those small cfls but in my opinion they do very little without having loads of them. I do use the 200 and 250 versions from envirolite and they rock for those who don't want hps. A cheaper investment for the first, say, four weeks of veg would be two to three 2foot flourescent stiplights, preferbally the ones from fishtanks with seperate ballasts or even better at a little more money the t5 lightwave units, just google it, i dreamt of one of these for my veg room after using fishtank flourescent strip lights and now i own one, very impressive for just 96w of flourescent light. I know as a fact and have tried it that one 27w cfl (100watts equivelant) is no where near as good as 18watts (18watts equivelant) 2foot 'T8' size flourescent strip bulb from a standard fishtank in either coldwater or tropical water fish colour light spectrum, coldwater is blue for veg and tropical is red for flowering, mix these two colours together and your plants will grow very big in the veg room. This is the best and cheapest way i have found to get good yeilds in the seedling and veg room with no stretch or heat issues and cheap on the electric. These lights simulate the sun for fish and they have no complaints so do the same for plants. Also a lot more tidy in the room as well. A small investment here would make a big difference. Don't fertilize for few weeks, repot up from small pot to big pot and only water when the soil is dry or pot feels very light or slight droopiness. Hey dude i'm stoned sorry to waffle great looking seeds, i want to know what soil you got them in? Also have you got a previous grow journal to this one and a link so i can see your last grow?

kingrow i appreciate your advice. i dont have a previous grow journal because my last plant got fucked up after several things went wrong so i trashed it. so im starting out fresh. as far as the lights go i cant get too big of lights because im kinda limited on space im ghetto and kinda broke with car problems. but i do have about 12 smaller cfls on hand and i currently have a brand new 125 watt cfl light but i need the mogul socket or whatever to use it. the soil im using ive gotten alot of ignorant responses about but im just going with what i had available at the time. but im using miracle gros organic choice. i know i know everybody says miracle gros bad to use but its only bag seed so not like im wasting money. only time. but if i u have any suggestions on anything small enough for my closet i could grow in then that be nice. the dimensions are 22inches/560cm(D) x 38inches/965cm(H) x 28inches/710cm(W)

i only filled the cups up half way because the organics choice soil has like time released nutrients and last plants i filled up the cup all the way but fucked them up early on. im thinking it was like nute burn and stuff. so im trying just half way so theres not as much.
