Talking First Timer (CFL Indoors)
Hey all,
Just stopped at home depot and purchased:
  • 2 27 Watt 5500K Lights
  • 2 Y splitters
  • Fertilizer
I would like suggestions please. I'd like to know if this fertilizer is good ? Also how i should have my lights set up. I have 3 going now but I don't have the lights all hooked up yet so they've sprouted i hope i can get them together tonight i just need input.

Pictures:


a bit confused

thanks for the help i plan on setting up a grow journal also.

Looks like you have enough CFL's there for a couple plants. If they've sprouted already, they need light right away.
The plant food is more geared towards flowering - the three numbers? You want the first (nitrogen) to be the higher number for vegging - but don't even consider giving them any nutes until they are at least three weeks of age.

I think you will have a nice setup, has for your fertilizer im now 3 week using this fertiliser and it seem to be good for now. Im using 4 enersaver (Globe) 23 watt soft white 1600 lumens and i water about every 2-3 day depend if my finger get wet when i put it in the dirt.

You can take a look at my curent grow.
Fist Timer indoor CFL

Since week 2 my plant grew up about 1 inch but its growin in cold climate here.

Update:

aluminum foiled it for the time being and adjusted the sizes of the "pots."
temp is around 80 and with the lid on its pushing 88.
any suggestions on anything at all is welcome and greatly appreciated.
