Oh no, the cups are actually wrapped in electrical black tape, I just didn't wrap the inside. The parkay butter containers are wrapped in tape now as well. I've stopped watering and misted the crispy leaves a bit today, I'm going to back off on the water until the soil dries up a bit

Nice tat bro, shouldn't post it on this site though

I transferred it into a bigger pot and better soil, let's see what happens

Nice @bagseed I was thinking of tatting it somewhere, not sure where yet though :) And thanks for the tip about the spidermites but I checked the plants and they seem to be spidermite free, they are looking a bit weird though, here are a few pics but I'm leaning more towards nute deficiency

How does one go about growing organic without nutes then? Or would that diminish the quality of the plant? Also I noticed on one of my plants the leaves are closing upward (I'm guessing it's a heat issue, not sure), I'll post pics soon as my camera finishes charging

After a bit more research it seems like you are correct about the peels having to be composted, as for baking the soil wouldn't the heat destroy the nutrients in it?

I want to go completely organic. The fox soil I'll have to look into i heard of it before, as for the bugs well I was thinking of putting orange peel, banana peel, apple peels and the soil into a blender to really mix it all up real well and really loosen the soil and as the plant strengths I...

I will be transfering my plants into new pots and a bigger built grow box in the next few days, anyone have any recommendations on good soil

Just checked up on them, seems one of the 6500k bulbs died out, wonder why =/ Replaced with a bigger 5000k

Let's hope they ARE infact girls :neutral:

12 Hours later and it seems the plants are LOVING the 6500k's over the 5000k's! The temps don't seem to be too bad in there, one tip of a leaf was burning but the light was simply way to close I backed it off and it is starting to heal nicely, I'm going to wait 1 or 2 more days before I decide...

Yea I was reading around the forum and heard the same about the light being reflected at angles , it's all I have at the moment but I'll replace it soon, It's funny man, I was at walmart and was feeling so good about finding the 6500k bulbs I completely forgot about the emergency blanket...

they look white when I look at them in person but when I look at them and squint I can see the blue

The first pic is the 5000k's, the rest are the new 6500k lights, I can def. tell the difference!

Lucked out and got a 4 pack of GE 26w 6500K (1650 Lumens) from.. walmart :-P I now run 5 26w 6500k's, 3 23w 5000k's and 2 13w 2700k's over 5 plants

Nice, your leaves are nice and chunky

@Coach, the closest safeway is 60+ miles from here and I'm in the heart of new york city :( I'll be checking the home depot outdoor section and wal-mart, I'm sure I'll get my hands on some today. Should I ditch all the 5000k's and replace them with 6500k's? Also, 6500k's appear more blue correct?

Well I currently run 4 23 watt 5000k's at 1600 lumens a piece, 1 30 watt 3500k at 2100 lumens, 1 26 watt 6500k (not sure how many lumens), and 2 13 watt's (not sure about lumens or exact color, looks like 3500k though). I'll see what I find out there, really appreciate all the replies, another...

Thanks, I will put some more in, and the box is well ventilated at the moment the heat shouldn't be a problem so I'll put a few more bulbs in. I'll be grabbing an emergancy blanket today from walmart as well and another rubbermaid bin if it's the same size so I can increase the height on the...
