Default 1st Grow - CFL KB Seeds w/ Pics
Hey Hey,

So this is my 1st grow (aw so cute) and I wanted to share it here and get some feedback to both help myself and anyone else to become a better gardener. I'm a little behind already because I'm on day 16 of my grow already so here is a little summary...

12/1 - I planted 2 germ'd seeds into 1.4L pots with Moisture control MG. I set the pots into a plastic container (to catch any mess) and placed them in my closet which is roughly 33x18x72" (LWH). I then set up 4- 26W 3500k CFL's, a small fan, and contractor bags to cover and keep in the light.

Using a timer outlet I bought at the depot I set it to 18/6 and let mother nature take its course. Over the next few days I noticed steady growth from seedling into its veg. stage.

Last week I was reccomended by a friend to hit the plants with 24 hours of light all the way until I begin flowering and I did just that. It's been 4 days since I made the switch from 18-24 and the plants have grown significantly (pix below).

I've been doing more research as the days pass and fianlly today I realized that my CFL's arent the right size according to the CFL forum. So Im going to grab 4 6500K CFL's to continue my veg. stage and change them out for a lower K light when it comes time to flower in a few weeks.

If anyone wants to know more about my set up or anything Ive done so far let me know I just left it out cus' it was getting long. LET ME KNOW HOW IM DOING!! Im dying to know. Thanks

The Pics below are:
1. both plants today
2. both plants and an idea of the set up i have

Good to hear cus' Im about to go buy some now. Thanks.

Im not sure on the strain. It was from a friend and all I know is that it was 'awesome' but thats it which kinda blows but this 1st grow is just a test run. Another friend and I ordered just about $200 of seeds from Attitude last night so that grow I'll know more about.

Default Day 17 transfer
soooo its day 17 now since I planted my germ'd seeds. Today I transferred my plants into larger pots 1.4L to 5L.

It was my first transfer so I hope all goes well, thanks to everyone that advised me.
I added some perlite to the soil (moisture control MG) to get some airation.

I felt I needed a bit more light so I added another 2 CFLs which brings me to 6 total for 2 plants.
4 - 26W 6500k
2- 26W 3500k

I checked the levels which were
78F and a PH of about 7

Check the pics below and lemme know how my set up is I could use all the help I can get... The shield is just a cardboard strip that domes the top of the set up and is lined with tin foil... i need some mylar where do i get it?
