Looking good! You look like you know what you're doing pretty well. I'm on my first grow and I haven't done anything special besides topping one of my plants, otherwise I've just been watering and they have some organic blood/bone meal mixed with kelp etc. to help out. Bagseed? Strain? Details baby!

I have breifly looked over LST but not supercropping. But yeah those are 2 things I need to study up on, as they will be beneficial to my grow...lol...just a little nervous since it's my first time, i'm a perfectionist and if my plants don't make it I will be sad. But it's something I need to learn!!!

I'm using MG palm and citrus planting soil, which unfortunately already has its own nuts...I was really planning on using a basic soil mix with no nuts, but this is all they have around here...I think if I were to add nuts, my plants would definitely burn.....Today I made my own reflectors for my lights, which I made out of 1/8" aluminum, pretty nice, just need to buff em out, and hopefully it will direct the light a little better over my plants...I'll take some pics of them and post them this evening!!! You know I was thinking, I know I only have what I have in the light department, but as it is in the 3rd week, do they look like average 3rd week plants? lol

Thanks Bud!!! I have been spending hours reading and reading many, many posts on this site....Just doing the best I can with what little money, and materials I have at this time. I am probably going to get a HPS/MH in the future, but right now it's more efficient for me to just use CFLs, plus from what I have seen in a couple CFL posts, they work really well!!!

Anyways, yeah it's just some bagseed i'm using, since i'm just learning I don't really wanna ruin some good strains, I wanna be sure I know whats going on before then, so I can get the most out of it. I'm keeping them on 24hr lighting, with a small blower fan, I'm watering them about everyday as the soil dries up pretty quick. I'm just using my regular tap water, with a 24hr wait period for the nasty chemicals to evaporate. And thats pretty much it!!
