Limestone would be an improvement.

I have DIRECT experience with seedlings in time release MG soil. The stuff SUCKS.

Are you going to veg for 3 months?? Of course not! So why would you want a soil pumping nitrogen into the plant during flowering? You DONT!!

These soils will reduce yield, lengthen flowering time, and drive you nuts! MG soil for seedlings is your problem!

Everytime you water, you release copious amounts of nitrogen, which your young plant is not ready for! Water as little as possible and transplant into better soil !!

The soil has TOO LOW a ph for seedlings. It is hot with 3 months of nutes!

like i said Ive just been using plain ol' bottled water, so i don't think the pH is a problem in the water either(unless they put something weird in bottled water)
thanks for bringing that to my attention though nitro im defenitly going to cut back on the water!

thanks for the input as i said im going to cut down on watering, and im going to switch to MG organic choice soil which ive read is alot safer
to be honest though i think its the lights that are the problem
im only using 4 soft white cfl's, they are 13watt but then they say 60watt replacement too.

im almost shure this isnt enough to sustain 2 plants...am i right?

theres half the problem as well bro the soft white bulbs are for flowering they have a kelvin rating of 2700 to 3000 which is not what your babies need right now you should be using daylight or full spectrum which will have a kelin rating of 6500 or so and they will look like they are blue versus the orange tone you have now change your lights and cut back on the watering and you should be fine.

yeah looks like im gonna have to make a trip to wally world and actually put a few bucks into this project. should be worth it though, now all i need to worry about is ventilation.

anyone ever tried hooking up a PC fan to a 12V adapter and accidently fried the fan in the process?

I need a new fan or a new idea haha

Here is what I would do, and did for my first grow.

Transplant into Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and use their nutes when the time comes for them.

Go get 9x 23 watt 6500k CFL's as mentioned (blue light). That will get you through for veg.

How tall is your grow space?

How big is your grow room? Walmart has powerful fans for cheap. You can get a little 6" fan with enough power for $12.

I spent about $200 on my first grow, with CFL's, started in MG soil and MG nutes, switched to Fox Farm...yielded 3.9z's from two plants....

My grow box is about 3 feet tall and about 1 and half foot wide
I wanted to use a PC fan because they are fairly quiet and exactly the right size i need, so im probably just gonna end up bumming one off a friend.
Is there any way you couldve increased your yield?more lights?nutes?

hey all i just replaced the current 4 cfl's (13 watt 2700K each) with 4 different cfl's i had laying around(14 watt 3500K each). Not much of a difference i know but i noticed they had more of a blueish tint like i was told to go for, and they are 800K higher. Im doing everything i can to make shure my babies stay alive
