hey ring'n just dropped in to say hi i live in an area that has thrift shops so far all of my fans have came from there & a water filtration pitcher & tds meter in box [pitcher was freight damaged] i try to build or adapt what i need for what i can buy 1 fan for i have 4 of them sittin around & most thrift shops have stuff hella-cheap there is nothin wrong with cfl's especialy in your application its the only way 2 go & sometimes you just gotta go for it do your best & learn as you go every grow gets better 4 me & had some failures too but all in all i really dig this stuff &the only hobby that pays its way good luck h.h.
looks good man, nice lil grow you got going.
ill be doing something similar soon coz i have to give up my big growroom due to movin house
but anyway your sprouts look good, remember dont use any nutrients yet,
as this is your fiest grow ill try and get you on the organic growers' side lol... organics are the way to go, get yourself the bio-bizz range of nutes very good!
and also if you can, get yourself some superthrive... its a plant health product used especially on cuttings and seedlings to stimulate fast and healthy root development.
good luck mate

I forgot to mention the germ was in straight peatmoss, I was worried that they
would not germ, but 3 days is all it took. I will transplant into larger pot soon, using 70% Schultz Potting Soil Plus and 30%
peatmoss, with rocks in the bottom of the pot for drainage.
I hope this is sufficient, again any input is welcomed....
Day 2 and the 5th came up. It is only a day behind the others so no problem.
Everything looks good so far, but I will be transplanting them today.
The peatmoss is hard to keep hydrated so I will be doing the soil mix and I will throw them
into 4" pots.
I will change out my fan today also and try to get my temps down, Im running around 90f right now.
I did add 2 extra lights to the mix and it has not raised the temp much at all so I think after I
get my fans in I can go ahead and add the rest of the lights to the box.
Ring'n you wont be able to grow these plants in a nightstand. You better get a much taller setup constructed before they get out of hand. Good luck though.
Oh and please dont put rocks in the bottom of your pots. Its a myth. It only impedes drainage.
It is still day 2 and the transplant is complete.
I added a new intake fan and cut a larger hole so right now it is a passive exhaust,
I was able to get the temp down to a normal level, around 80f consistently. (The pics show about 85f but I got it down more after the pics were taken)
I found some perlite so I added it to the shultz soil I did however add rocks
in the bottom, (I guess I goofed but I didn't see your recommendation until now DC, I should have checked back before
the transplant, lesson learned lol......) Next transplant no rocks.
I am building a 6' x 4' x 3' cab for flowering and will flower under an HPS w/ CFLs. So hopefully I get some girlies and I dont
screw up too much in the meantime.
