I've got two CFLs on that sprout above, and two more on my other sprout. They are 26 watts/1700 lumens each. Thanks BT DT. That was very helpful.

Sweet. Thanks a lot guys. Since my plants are growing bigger, do you think the two CFL's I have on each will be too little light? Should I get some more bulbs?

Thanks man. Heres the problem. My cups are red and you can't see through them. I have no way of knowing when the roots are at the bottom of the cup...

My sprouts are about 1 1/2 to 2 inches tall right now. I'm watering everyday when the soil gets dried out and leaving them under CFLs for 18-24 hours a day. One is looking okay but its got a purple stem (I need to start pH'ing my water) and the other is a little crappy looking. So here are some...

This is one of my sprouts. This is my other sprout that is two days younger. So why is my older sprout looking so drab compared to my younger one? Its leaves are yellowish and haven't even opened or stretched out yet. Is this normal for the first few days? Or is it just a dud plant...

Alright cool. Here's what my ghetto setup looks like. 4 CFLs, 2 on each plant, 26 watts each.

I germinated and planted three bagseeds last Monday, the 23rd. Day 7 Two of the plants have sprouted. One was knocked over but I added more potting soil and it may be alright. The other should sprout soon (I hope.) Sprout #1 Sprout #2 (this one looks better) Does this sprout look healthy...

Ahhh...cool. I only have two sprouts as of now so I didn't want one to die. Thanks.

Yesterday, when I was moving lights for watering, one of my seedlings in a cup tipped over and half the soil spilled out. I could see the root stretching pretty good so I was heartbroken. I stood the sprout back up and scooped the soil back into the cup around the root pretty good. Do you think...

I have a spot in my basement when I can grow them inside. And yeah, I have a fan for circulation air. I just need to know how much light these new sprouts need. I have 4 of those CFLs and currently I have two of them on my sprout constantly except for when watering. But one of my other seeds...

I got four 26 watt CFLs today rated at 1700 lumens each. I have three plants in cups but only one is sprouted at this time. Its only an inch tall. How much light should I put on this little one?

Thats basically the cups I have my seeds in...they're just red. BTW, I just bought 4, 26 watt CFLs today. How many should I put on this little sprout? They are 1700 lumens each.

Good deal. I can't wait until my seedlings start growing... When I'm ready to transplant, should I fill the sacs completely full? And do you lay them sideways and cut a hole in the side to plant? Or just set them straight up and plant in the top?

Shaman, when you made the thread about planting in the burlap sacs, you didn't specify whether you plant the seeds straight into the sac or grow them inside for a while and transplant into the sacs. I've got three seeds planted and only one has sprouted (its only been 3 days though.) I'm...

I'm going to get some Compact Flourescent lightbulbs today and I just want to know can those be screwed into any type of lamp? I have a few desk lamps that are the right height for my seedlings and they say not to use a bulb over 60 watts. Can I put 24 or 27 watt CFL's in there or is that not...
