If you enclosed them more they would probably get a lot bushier. How much heat does that hps give off? Could you touch the shield and now get burned?

I wouldnt think long...

Awesome, Thanks.

You need to create more light around the plants. They apear to me to be streaching way to much. My plants are 2 weeks old also and are extreemly shorter but have good thich growth of exploding leaves around the tops. Think about enclosing them more with more foil around and more light. Im an...

I've looked around a bit and havent found a good thread on transplanting. I've got my babies in just some small dixie cups. They are 2 weeks old and anywhere from 1-2" tall. Can someone fill me in or maybe lead me to a thread where this has been covered before? Thanks a ton.

Make sure you got the "Dayligh" CFL's for veggin. The softwhite will work but they lack the good bluelight spectrum that emulates the day light. For flowering you want a HPS, it has the best red spectrum. For that many plants you will probably want an HPS. Or you can go to your local grow shop...

They sure look purdy

Update: One week in and Thought I would update. I tested my "Miracle Grow Poting Soil" and the ph of it is 7. Its neutral. The miracle grow at 5ph rumor may be right, but its not for my MG. Went to the grow shop and picked up some new lights. They are some moster 55W full spectrum CFL's. I got...

Not worried about vitamin's yet really... That's something I've gotta work on researching more. Probably talk to some folks at the hydro store in Seattle this weekend. Get some full spectrum cfl's some organic soil for their homes after the cups and some vit's. Thanks for the advice.

How much would a HID set up run for the 400W, and does it pull 400W or does it pull less like the cfls? Edit: Looking like a little more then I wana throw down for my first time. I'll just stick with the regular CFL's. I have a whole closet to build in so I'll get quite a few and some good...

I saw a ph kit, was thinking about getting one of those, figure its probably more accurate anyways. Did some more reading on lights, I might keep one of those reptile lights around for heat. I keep the heat off in my place to save on the electricity. Dont want the closet to get to cold. I...

I'm pretty new as I said so I'll take your word for it. For 7 plants how many fixture's do you suggest and what watt bulbs? Thanks...

I planted them fairly shallow. I germinated them for almost 5 days so I didnt want them to strugle to long in the soil. I covered them with some loose soil. I'm gonna have to check the temp on those lights before I move them to close though. I'm afraid they may be to hot may have to pick up some...

Thanks for the tips, really apreciated. I set up this up just a few minutes ago... I'll turn these lights off till they sprout as you advised. I have up to 4 fixtures I can get going. All 100W lights. I purchased a ph tester and will be testing my soil here in a min. I will also be watering my...

I'm bookmarkin that one...

So, I've been wanting to try my hand at growing so a week or two ago i came here and started reading up. Got my seeds germinating, 7/10 showed life and planted them today in just dixie cups with holes in the botom. I just used regular miricale grow potting soil. I plan to research soil a bit...
