if these dont do anything before my hdyro gets in then i will throw them out and start from scratch..... any seedbanks or strains that you all recommend? I got blueberry and super silver haze here... never tried either.. just had the same street weed that has went around for 10 years

hey green earth 5. do not throw them out! and do not add any nutes! one of the most important steps to insuring healthy plants is a ph meter!! you must ph your water! do you know the ph of your soil?
can you go to foxfarm.com and search for fox farm soil? i dont care how far you have to drive..... it will be worth it! i love fox farm soil and it has changed my life!
you already have a few seeds and a good light. if your soil and water are not ph'ed properly then nothing will survive!
more important than anything is proper ph. if you start adding nutes then you will also need a ppm. without a ppm you could be feeding your babies 1100ppm!! that would be horrible!
dont worry about your nutes for a while, and dont go dydro if you're still a noob.
trust me take the red pill, it will set you free

setup does not look to bad for first timer. move the cfl about 2-4 inches off the tops (cfl produces very little heat so it can be set close to promote optimal growth) next thing is for you to do is make sure you dont go nute crazy and start burning your little babies to early cuase that will be the end of it if you do... Dont start adding nutes untill plants are over 3-4 weeks old. getting good soil also helps.. like some fox farm ocean forest is natural and organic and will keep your plants healthy and nurished with out adding nutes up to a month+ of bieng in thew soil. like some 1 else said..be patient and try not to mess with your plants to much, just be patient,keep a schuedle, and be smart :)

I think the shortest plant likes the new light. Its too early to tell, but the shortest apears to be getting new green growth. I have not added any nutes. I do not know my pH. But i do plan on buying a pH meter along with the calibration and pH up & down solutions TOMORROW. lol ... Im trying to figure out what else to buy.. i will be going hydro.. so ill be getting that stuff too.... ill post pictures below of my current setup... the colors of the pictures are not the true colors.. but close

Hey man i would buy a cheap chemical solution for testing ph. its only a few dollars and acurate everytime.
The expensive digital ph meters are hit and miss. some seem to work fine but others are worthless. I have a Hana digital meter and I dont use it anymore, waste of money in my opinion. hope that helps

dude petco has the kind of hosing you need, if you live near any kind of large pet shop with aquarium supplies, might even be cheaper. If thats what was slowing you up, didnt know. Good luck bro

I got my 4 Super Silver Haze (SSH) seeds & my 2 Blueberry (BB) seeds germinating. I put them in a disinfected toilet paper, under a cup, on a glass plate. Lets see how many of them sprout.

Im going to be growing these bad boys in a hydro tub. It was harder to cut the holes in the lid then the forums suggest. They say to use a marker and trace around the bottom and top of the net pots. Then to cut the smaller circle completely out and then to cut notches in the bigger circle. THIS DOES NOT WORK!!! The plastic lid was so durable that the tabs WOULD NOT bend at all. So i had to cut the notches out. Anyways, I fucked up the lid and so i half to get a new one. Some of the net pots are falling thru, others arent.

My first grow is so fucked up man.. but i think ive learnd just as much from tryin to grow then just simply reading the forums.

BTW .. yes my light is crooked... i cant help it because the light hangers just suck ass and wont lock in place

EDIT: im buying a chain today so that i can hang the light from it... then im just throwing the light reflectors to the side
