Ok, Here goes. I am very green at this, So I hope I can get a couple of my plants to produce something.
I Started my seeds in these Peat cups to germinate, got four out of 8 to germ in 3-6 days so far.
I only have two of these cheap ass Sylvania Spot-Gro 120 watt lights.. They do not say what there light out put is, or what ever you all call it. I will try and get a couple of the cfl's in two days. These lights seem to put out a lot of light, but the put out to much heat for the amount of light I get,, at least in my opinion. Have any opf you ever used this type of light? I can not get them closer then about 2.5' with out cooking my plants.
Once my plants broke ground to 1/4" I planted them into 3 gallon containers. Two more will be planted tomorrow. total of 4 so far. I am wondering if planting in the big container first off was bad. I see that most people start in a smaller container, then replant.
My plants have been in the soil for 2 and 3 days in these photos. going to call it 3 for my journal. They are 2 3/4" inches tall at this point.
My lights are on 24/7 right now, and in about 4-5 more days I will take them down to 18 hours on, 6 hours off. I have also slowed down my watering after reading some of the fine thread in this site.
Will put one more post so I can put 3 more photos.
All suggestions are greatly wanted and needed.
Thanks in advance for any help..
