First Grow/indoor skunk haze CFL

Well this is my first grow ever. Really doing it to prove my roomy wrong that i can do it lol. Plus im tired of trying to find it.

Ok so i bought some seeds online and out of 5 of them 3 sprouted in 48 hours. put them in a mix of MG potting mix and MG peetmoss.. (Guy in town with Fox Farm keeps giving me the run around) So i improvised..

put them in 3 dixie cups and under 2 23watt 6500k CFL's in a rubermade container lined with tinfoil. moistend the soil with rain water i collected over the weekend. (Should i have soaked the soil before?)

The large cabinet is what i will be moving over too after they have outgrown the box. i will be lining it in mylar and using 8 or more 6500 watt CFL's directed at the plants.

I got screwed buy a shipping company that didnt send me the fox farm nutes so i need to track some down in town pretty soon.

im up for all constructive criticism please keep my informed of what i should be doing along the way and any tips. Thanks

The seeds have been in the soild for about 6 hours before i turned the lights on should i be on a 24hr lighting untill they break ground?

IMO put the lights on 18/6 don't use mg try to get foxfarm no nutes till about 3 weeks of growth

i know MG is is a bad choice but man its all that i could get my hands on. didnt want them in the towel any longer. I have 7 more seeds germinating that im gonna see how many will germinate and hopefully get them into fox farm..

frustrated!! i went out of my way after work today and bought some fox farm nutes and got the wrong freakin one. picked up FoxFarm Growbig and FoxFarm big bloom!

Problem is the Growbig is the Hydroponic formula!! really dont want to make that drive back out to where i had to go so do you think that i could still use this?

for vegging plants they need more Nitrogen and for flowering plants they need more phosphorous and potassium

here are the plants after 4 days! kinda surprised how quick they are growing now.

the long straggler was actually planted a day ago and sprouted out that far over night.

the lights are on 24/7 right now.

Anyone input? still trying to figure this out. im going to need to go back and get the correct nutes.

looking good but, theres some cheap mylar emergency blankets at dollar stores and 1 would cover your walls in it. i think its like 4 feet by 6 feet

so i put a larger fan in the box with the seedlings and they doubled in size over night! its been 7 days for them and here they are now.

getting there mate

so i had a few seeds leftover that didnt germinate and i put them in a dixie cup, two days leter nothing broke through the soil so i took the cup out of the box.. todat 6 days after i removed it i noticed one small little stem coming out about an inch long! wattered it and put it back in the box and in 4 hours it was green and showing leaves!!! insane

subbed....good luck brother

yesterday the plats had been in the dixie cups for 17 days. I was able to pick up some fox farm soil from someone in town for $10 a bag for 1.5cft bags..

I filled the 3 gal pots with the soil and then transplanted the seedlings into them. Then gave them about a gallon of water in each pot.

Here are the pix of them today 24 hours after they have been in the pot. Still no nutes have been added yet. i was told the fox farm should be able to sustain them for another 2 weeks with regular watering.. ( is this correct )

I have one plant that is growing up and out. one that is growing more out them up. and i have one that is not doing so well.

The plants that are still in the dixie cups are from 18 days ago the seeds that didnt germintate i put them in a cup just to see what would happen and they have slowly sprouted.

The one in the middle is going to need its own pot pretty soon and if that one that is all twisted and shrivvled might get taken out.

let me know what you think please and more thoughts on what im doing. they were in a cabinet but the pots would not fit in it anymore so i have them in a corner of the room while im cleaning out a large closet to continue them in.

also will be looking for a HPS light soon since i know lighting is my weak point right now. i put the rubermade lid on top of the lamps with mylar glued to it so that all the light is being reflected down from all six lights.


also can someone tell me what the yellowing of the leaves are? i heard nitrogen defficiency and i hope that will change with the new fox farm soil with all the extra nutes in it.
