Hows it look?(first grow, CFL,bagseed)

Wow. They look good. Im not expert (actually, iv never grown) , but could it be an idea to line the inside with some reflective foil or whatever, just for light distribution or whatever? Also, id be slightly worried lining the box with paper, not very fire retardant and maybe flimsy? Just as a precaution.

mylar is a very good relefctive material. I am going to line it in that as soon as i get some. as long as the bulbs arent touching anything I shouldn't be is risk of a fire....and even if they were i dont think they are hot enough to cause a fire

I got some leaves that don't look too good...

should I like not even worry about these leaves? or is there something critically wrong that should be addressed immediately? As you can see from the first pic the rest of the plant is in pretty good condition(aside from where the CFL got a little bit too close)

I still don't have the mylar yet. I got it off ebay and its taking forever to get here. Wish I knew of a hydro store nearby that I could buy stuff at.

nice lookin plant my friend. looks indica to me. good job on the lst its making it bush up nicely. keep up the good work. how old is it? ill be watchin this one.

Ery

thx, it poked out of the soil on about April 18th, so its a little over a month old

well, it got worse! i'm thinking nitrogen deficiency? maybe magnesium?

Again the burn on the leaf in the 2nd pic is just from getting too close to the light.

should i just buy a bottle of like nitrogen nutrients and use that to increase the nitrogen level? or should i just up my dosage on my Pure Blend Pro Grow (3-1.5-4) up to a full dosage instead of half. I'm just afraid of giving it too much and causing problems.

looking good my friend. My young ones had that yellowing of the leaves early on and i gave them a dose of 1/4 strength Cal-mag which bounced them right back. Good luck and really nice plants.

figure i'd give an update...

Those leaves that were dying seem to just be lacking light or something, I pulled off a handful of dead leaves from under the upper canopy the plant creates, but as you can see form the pics, the rest of the plant looks fine. I am currently in a dark period, 36 hours of darkness before I goto 12/12. 12/12 will start tomorrow at midnight. That damn mylar still isn't here, so I am going to check out a hydro store my friend told me about. Anyway, heres some pics I took on friday(day 42).

I also took a clone of this plant so if it is female I have a good start on another plant by the time this one is done flowering.

It does get a little hot, but if i get a better power supply it should be fine. I have a baffle behind the fan to help light from escaping....i need to do this with my other grow room once the dark cycle is over. The clone is in 50/50 soil/vermiculite, and i'm using Schultz TakeRoot. Its been in there a couple days but it hasn't taken root yet. It looks to be alive and healthy so I'm not really worried about it.
