First CFL Grow (Help Me Out)

classclown · #1 06-20-2008, 02:09 PM

What up, this is my first official grow and I'm having a few problems so far... But not too bad, I have one pretty good lookin baby. The only problem is that it is getting a little yellow on the edges and a couple of my other plants look terrible lol. Here are my materials as of right now...

HUGE Grow Box
4 - 27 watt cfl's (Daylight - 6000k)
Miracle Grow Moisture Control
Miracle Grow Perlite
Small fan (Doesn't oscillate, but not directly on the plants)
Rain Water
Soil Moisture Tester (Just got it, not sure if it's working correctly, my plants appear soaked, but the the tester stays at like 3 out of 12 or something)

Here are some pictures of my Grow Box and a few of the plants at day 11.

Here's the one that's a little yellow on the edges... Don't know what the deal is....

Same one different angle

Another one that looks practically dead, any advice?

MG moisture control holds alot of water,so it may be an overwatering issue. I noticed that you didn't include a thermometer on your materials list. Try to keep your temp around 78 degrees F.

Whats up classclown, I'm def gonna be following this journal. Get some splitters and some more bulbs and you will be set. Good luck and your plants are looking good.

that 1 plant probably died and the other w/ brown spots on it is because ur using pre-ferted dirt. when u transplant, try and get organic dirt....mg sell some organic dirt but usually comes w/ fungus gnats.

You should put seeds in jiffi cups after they sprout it works great

They looks small for 11 days. Here are mine at 7 days.

i also had issues with the mg moisture control so it easy to overwater. not bad soil but i had to learn just the right amount of water for them.
