Second Grow 1st Journal

Im doing 5 plants of northern light i am using fox farm soil and about 7 cfl lights 42 watt for veg in fox farm soil during flowering i will be using a 400 watt hps i have 2 fans and the temp and moister gauge my grow room is a little small but it is 5 feet deep 3 feet wide and about 10 feet tall. I was thinking about doing a 2 week veg and switching to flowering right away for faster results i have my seeds germing right now during flower i will be feeding them
2tbsp of molasas
1/4 tsp of open sesame
1/4 tsp of beastie bud
3 tbps of duch master flower
PER GALLON

I will have pics up shortly

yeah I've been wanting to do a quick veg and shove them right into flowering; I've heard good and bad things from that. The obvious plus is that you get results faster, however you are not reaching the full potential of the plant with a veg period that short. Of course some growers will actually start there clones off in a flowering cycle, which I think is a great idea if you have a nice veg setup where you can just keep pulling plants out of flowering area and throwing plants from the veg in right behind them. It basically comes down to personal preference but it sounds live you've done your research so GOOD LUCK!

Personally I would go with 100w equivalent bulbs instead of 60w. They are just a few more bucks but well worth it. If I remember right it should say 23w on the box which is the same as a 100w incandescent; I think yours is probably a 13w or a 15w. I would say 3 to 5 bulbs per plant would do well for veg and get the lights as close to the plant as you can without burning them (should be able to almost touch them to the bulb), those bulbs to get too hot as along as you have some fans blowing on the them.

The lights i bought last night say 60 watt equivilent to a 75 watt bulb (indecent) and i have 6 of those 2 23watt and 2 tubes is this enough or should i get more i have a hps for flowering 400 wtt

You can never have too much light but I think you should be ok with that. You can always add more if you notice them starting to stretch.

Thanks And where can i purchase Molasass? im going to the hydro store today to pic up everything else in need

thanks man

Anytime!, when can we get some pics of your setup?

for some reason my lights are burning my soil turing the white peices brown and it has been 3 days and no sing of sprout

Did you germinate them before you put them in the soil?

No i never have ive always put it in and watered

the soil that is not in the paper towel

I would try putting them inbetween paper towels next time. It seems to work a lot better this way. Just my 2 cents. This is what I do, and once they pop that root I haven't had one die yet.

yah and i havent had any die this way either and i dont know if there dead or not lol and it isnt the easiest to find seeds around here either

Yeah I didn't think that they were dead. It just takes longer for them to push through. I hope they all make it. Btw where did you get your seeds If you don't mine me asking? I will post a grow jornual soon. I am have way through one grow now, with 3 strains, and I have some NYCD, and Blaze x MTF going.
I would give them a couple more days, and if nothing...Check the seeds out to see if they spouted.

I usually put mine in a small cup of water and put the cup in a dark cabinet for a few days. Once I see that little white tail poking out I drop it in some soil.

ya maybe i messed up and my soil is turing brown i dont know what that could be from i have 7 lights and 2 tubes is that too many?
