HEY EVERYONE!

ON MY SECOND ATTEMPT AT CULTIVATING, HOPEFULLY IT GOES WELL, AS OF NOW IM WORKING WITH A STEALTH SET UP. GOT TWO 150 WATT CFLS IN THERE, WITH MYLAR, AND A 12v VENT FAN RUNNING. I HAVE 2 TRAINWRECK SEEDS (SPROUTED PLANTS) AND 4 BAGSEEDS (NOT SPROUTED YET).


PAST EXPERIENCE I GREW OUTDOORS, IT WORKED ALRIGHT BUT THIS TIME I THOUGHT ID GIVE INDOOR A TRY, SO MY KNOWLEGE OF INDOOR CULTIVATION IS SLIM,


ANY COMMENTS OR TIPS ARE GREATLY APPRIECIATED!!​

The two sprouted plants were planted on december 3rd

so they are about 6 days old, and i am using MG Organic choice mixed with MG Moisture Control

i was wondering if i should get more lights or if i should wait a little more.

Im running 2 150 watt cfls maybe i should get some smaller lights in there as well.

Any comments?

yes the two you have are strong enough to work for a couple weeks, but i highly recommend getting at least 4-26w "DAYLIGHT" or 65kelvin spectrum rating it will say on the box if its daylight. this is the blue spectrum that is good for vegging. Later on when your flowering I'd get 4- 42w bulbs "COOL WHITE" or 27kelvin
That should be enough to grow 3-4 18" plants

your wattage isnt actually 300 watts thats your incandescent equivalent.. you prolly running 2- 42 watts by the sound of things but those look like 27 watt bulbs in the pix im not sure you should find this out but you need about about 4 of those lights in your pic to vegg and i would get around 200 watts of cfls maybe 4- 42 watts for flowering thats if you want a decent yield

Im about to go to home depot and get some supplys so ill be sure to get more lights,

i was also wondering how many leafs should a 6 day old plant have. I was noticing that maybe i gave it too much stress
