i have some mid grade seeds i started about 20 days ago. ive had many seasons outdoors but never really had a true indoor hydro grow. this is the first, i designed my own system out of a 12 gallon tub and a 4 gallon tub. there about the same size around but not the same height so i have the smaller ine inside the bigger and theres enough space at the bottom for my resivour. im using the general hydroponics nutes and im using 6 gallons of spring water with the proper nutes for gal raio. my plants look nowhere near what some others on here do. i was using a 500w halogen about 36 in away b/c of heat and i chanded them tonight to 27w cfl soft white. im cutting back on the watering b/c i was watering on a constant basis but my rockwool is growing algae. im using the like 1/4 in cubes in a 1/2 gal net pot for now. i lowered the lights to about 4 inches away to hopefully help them fill out. i only have 3 nodes not including the seedling leaves. seems like im far behind. any suggestions. ill have pics soon.

bump..... suggestions??

prolly get more lioght i think the halkgeon doesnt work at all and a 27w cfl prolly wont do much either
