First grow, 3 pakistan ryder auto's

Hi this is my first grow as well as my first post here.

I am already in the growing process, about 4 days in, and already having problems it seems.

I am using Fox Farms Ocean Forest for my medium, and I will be using there nutes also. My lightning are all cfl's, there are 12 26 watt 2700k bulbs producing about 21,000 lumens if my math is right, which I think should be good. I am using a pretty redneck light fixture, but it works. I got all my stuff at home depot. You can get a y splitter and extensions and just make a fixture out of power strips.

The problem I'm seeing is that one plant, (the one on the left) I planted the seed a little too deep and it seems to have slow growth, I'm thinking the lights need to be closer but I'll just see what happens. (maybe I should move the plant up?) The center one has slow growth compared to the one on the right, I'm not sure if this is due to heat, I live in a hot climate and my grow room is not well insulated, creating a hot grow room. I think the temperature could easily be up to 85 or more.



Sorry for the crappy pics, taken with my iphone.

Any help is very much appreciated, I am pretty worried about them.

Hi man,ive just started my second grow, 2x pakistan ryders Ive grow paki ryder in my first grow, check it if you like

For the lights, i think they are close enough ... But u need to think something about the temps, put more exhaust fans and etc. . What are you using for the air ?

Get decent fan blowing right at the bulbs. I run 2- 150 watt hps and keep it under 80-85

I do have a small fan blowing on the lights and the plants, and I have a door open for fresh air. And nice grow! I hope my plant's turn out as good as yours did

I'll be posting pics later, I put on about 5 more lights.

There called outlet to socket light plugs, I couldn't find them at lowes but they had some at home depot for a few bucks each.

Update, plants seem to be doing the same thing.


This one seems to be the most healthy, bright green leaves and it's bigger then the other 2.




This one has slow growth and has dark colored leaves, any thoughts?




The weakest of the crop, planted the seed too deep so it's having a tough time sprouting. Should I actually move her upwards?

I've been having some computer problems, plus I have been a little lazy

2/3 out of 3 plants are now left. I had to move them in a cooler climate, my older grow room was about 95 or more in the day and night.

Anyways they are females and are already budding. I also seem to have some yellowing in the leaves and some white spots on the leaves. I just started using nutes (fox farm big bloom) and I'm guessing i have nute burn but im not sure.

I am also wondering if i have a cal/mag def. because I am using a Brita water filter. Should I add epsom slat?

The plant is really starting to stink nicely, I hope they can both make it through.

Can anyone help me with this? The stems are turning brown now, plus the leaves have more of these yellow slash like marks.

Any help is very much appreciated
