Master Kush CFL Grow + pics

Hi guys, thought i would post a journal of my current grow, we are two weeks into the grow so i will do a bit of a catch up first.

as you can see i am using a old wardrobe, not huge but enough height and its just for personal use.

lighting at the moment is 6 23w CFL bulbs, i will add more as the plants grow, also two quite large desk fans.

i have created a false ceiling in the wardrobe thats fully adjustable, and i will raise as the plants grow, i have situated two rods, one up either side, this is how the ceiling is held in place, also all the lights and fans are clip on
as the plant grows i will add more lights to the sides of the plants so the light penetrates nice and deep (oh er) into the plant.

this is my first CFL grow, i will use warm CFL's for flowering or HPS, not sure yet, but i would like to see it through to the end with CFL's.

The growing medium is a good potting soil plus about 20% perlite, with some broken pots in the bottom of each pot to help drainage.

i purchased 10 Master kush seeds from nirvana and 9 germinated (i dont use the paper towel method, just soak for 24 hours then straight in the soil)

thats about it, onto the pics, as u can see this is my setup, its very Stealth with no light leaks at all (gotta love gaffa tape)

the seeds are a day old

8 plants are doing great, 1 is looking a little sorry for itself, lets hope it pulls through (ok i know it does but trying to build the tension)

am really happy with them so far, even the one not doing so good has pulled through, am happy with the colour and lack of stretch, i plan to veg them until they get to 2 feet tall then switch to flower

the next question is when to repot, i am thinking a week or 2, they are getting watered every other day, and today was there first feed, just using some basic tomato feed with supplemented Nitrogen, only a very tiny amount at the moment

temp is good, averaging 80 degrees and 45 - 50 % humidty.

no hiccups so far, lets hope it continues

overall i am extremely happy with the grow so far, the total cost of my grow is £60 or about $120 + a very small amount of electric

I dont believe those pots are so very good... I believe you have stunted their growth, mate.

could u be a little more specific? whats wrong with the pots?

i thought they were growing well for only 2 weeks old and considering i am not producing a huge amount of light ?
