2-3 Week Old Plant 81 Watts (First Grow)

What up, here are a couple of pictures of my 2-3 week old plant and my set-up. Here's a list of the shit I've used... Any feedback is appreciated.

3-27 Watt CFL's 5700k
6 Bulb Fixture
Honeywell Circulating Fan (Non Oscillate)
Miracle Grow Moisture Control
Miracle Grow Perlite
8'' Pot
24 Hours of light constant so far







Here's the Set-up



Not sure what I'm going to do about nutes yet... I know the miracle grow will get them through 3-4 weeks. We'll see when we get there.

Looking good. You should definitely get some more bulbs if you can fit 6 in there. You can get 3 26w CFLs at walmart for under $10. Have you decided what kind of lighting to use for flowering? For about $50 you could squeeze in 6 40w warm CFLs.

Hey I'm curious, have you been using the 27 Watt CFL's 5700k since they were seedlings?

Use every and any cfl..!! & spectums more the better but ITS LOOKING GOOD MAN KEEP IT UP >....!!!!

You really should just get a high output CFL like this, it will save a lot of messi with smaller bulbs, give you more light and end up costing less by the time you include all the money you've spent on fixtures and lots of little bulbs.

The dual spectrum bulbs can be used for flower and veg.

Thanks a lot for all the advice. Yea these are just 27 watt, 5500k-5700k I think. The plant is lookin pretty fuckin healthy. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Yea that's what I plan on doing. Just adding a few y-splitters and more bulbs. At least 4-6 warm CFL's.

So shit is looking pretty good... The only thing that I'm worried about is that I need to start nuting her now... I think I found signs of sex and it looks like a female to me. Random little pistils coming from the base of the stem. They came out of no where, the where just there all of a sudden. The second thing I'm worried about is the newest formed node. The new leaves on it have developed a slight burn on the edges of the leaf shown below in picture 3. There is also a little red on a few of the stems. Not sure what to think of that, maybe some sort of deficiency.






Here are the burns, the left circle is the burn on the leaves. The right circle is the red tint on the stem.

LOL dont worrie about the red on the stem/..!!

Cool thanks. I think it looks pretty healthy so far. Just added two more bulbs to the set-up too. I'll post a pic later.
