first grow

Ok guys/girls tell me what u all think this is my first and im using cfl not in need of help just yet but all advance is welcome thanks...

What color are the CFLs, make sure you only bother with 2700k-3200k and 6000-6500k. Other colors don't supply much usable light. Plan on about 150w per plant of well placed light.

im use 3 26w day light 6500k 1600lum and 1 19w daylight 5000k 1300lum

im go to post some pic later on

These are my babies 7day after being dirt (sunshine advanced mix#4)growing mix natural and organic, myco-active ,earth friendly coco-coir, no burn formula. Got them on an 19/5 light cycle 23w cfl x 3 daylight 1600L 6500k and 1 19w cfl daylight 1300L 5000k.... they are any where from 1to2 1/2 in. They are about 3in. From the light I'm really excited about this grow then its my very first time.... so any advice is good tell me what you guys think any questions I'm willing to answers


PS. ... tell me what you all think about my poor man or cheap grow box..

This is 1 being that it was the first longest germinated F meaning full cup of soil before I soak the media

This is 2&4 being that they was the 2&4 longest germinated 1/2 meaning 1/2cup of soil before I soak the media...

When do i start feeding and when do i start counting veg week

I think you could start counting veg after the third set of regular leaves show up. Looks like you already have two sets. I don't think there are nutes in Sunshine Advanced #4? If not, you could try 1/4 to 1/2 strength nutes when you get that third set of leaves.

Thanks alot I'll keep u post

And when should i transport them in bigger pots seedling is 2in.tall and cups r 4in.tall

Here an update I started them on their nutrients yesterday looking good

Cardboard grow boxes aren't very sturdy and they're a fire hazard. You go retrofit any good used cabinet easy, even small ones. Go to your local Goodwill or thrift shop and you'll easily find one there, most often with locking doors, even try a file cabinet. Most of my cabinets which I build I get cheaply from either Goodwill, craigslist or garage sales. Even a small kitchen cabinet will do.
