I planted a seed in starter soil, no paper towel or soaking, it took about 5 days to break soil. Today is day 7 and it was bent over when I checked on it this morning. Plant is in a stealth grow box under CFL lighting. There's input and out put fans and the plant has been about 3-6 inches away...
I appreciate the feedback. Another factor would be trying to grow from bag-seed, but if i can't make it work with bag-seed trying to acquire and grow a premium seed may not turn out. Also being on a budget right now I don't want to go all out until i got it right. Here's what I'm working with...
I know that everyone doesn't have success with their first grow but I'm doing horribly. I'm attempting to grow a few plants using a small wooden cabinet that's 36" in height, 31" in length and 21" in depth. I have two 10" reflector lights with two 23w CFL @ 5000k in each over the plants and two...

i started my first grow ever and these are my 5-week old seedlings that aren't doing good at all. they're kept under (5) 26w cfl bulbs 24/7 right now. i did a pH test and my tap water/miracle grow combo registered at 8.0 so i switched to distilled water with a pH of 6. i'm not sure if there's...
There's a lot of info in these threads but I have one question i'm still not clear on. If you have a mix spectrum of bulbs do you use them all during the grow from beginning to end or do you have to switch them out? I have two 18" cool white lights on the sides and two shop lights with "Y"...
