Looks good......rep........

They look good so far. I'm currently doing my first grow as well. May I recommend getting some different soil (I've heard/read nightmare stories about Miracle Grow)? I'm currently using the Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and have had wonderful results so far (although you'll hear different inputs on soil, I can't help but stress to get off of the Miracle Grow). Also you really need to get rid of that foil on your walls and get some black/white poly. Alum foil is not going to give you the reflection you're looking for and also can cause hot spots (it's also a fire hazard). You can get the poly for relatively cheap, it lasts a long time, and you get much much more reflection. Not trying to be a know it all or anything just helping a fellow beginner. Let me know if you have any other questions or just want to talk about stuff. Plants look great!

thanks guys, I was gonna go with FF soil but I couldnt find any sellers nearby, but there is one i found it. Its too late now for a soil transplant isnt it? ill definitely go with FF next crop. where could I find some poly rolls? how easy is it to put up?

You can transplant at any time just depends on if you want to go through the hassle of it. As of right now they look healthy so that's going to be a decision you'll have to make. I would do it sooner rather than later though if you're going to do it. As for the poly, if you have a local hydroponics shop that would be the best place to get it, otherwise there are places online that also sell it.

A little goes a long way. And it's relatively easy to put up. It's nice if you have someone else to help you as it can be awkward to put it up yourself, but I did and it seems to be holding up just fine. I used a staple gun and some cardboard to hold it in place so that it doesn't tear.

The "panda paper" can be found at most hydro stores and ya good soil does wonders for the plants. I learned the hard way this year with my outdoor grow. Switched to some Costco soil that sounded good, but had a lot of dead and weakly grown plants instead of beasts like last years in Roots Organics soil. Grow and learn though, its the nature of the beast!

Ill transplant if it will be worth it, do you think I would notice a difference? So far theyre growing good. I feel like an idiot though, I know i needed soil that fed for 3+months and somehow I bought that miracle gro shit that does 2 months...I need to quit drinking...
