First time growing

So i dont need any more lightning for the veg right?Well i am going to use 400w hps(philips green power)for flow.

The first one is my 7 days old seedling.Its a under 1 blue and 1 red spectrum fluorescents.At my next picture are my new 3 days old seedlings.They just came out off their shells and planted in soil.
Last picture is about my grow room :-P)

Soil:All mix by biobizz
Fertilizers:BioGrow,BioBloom,Biobizz root juice(just used once on my 7 days old plant)

Well when will i have to use biogrow?In about 2 weeks old plants?
How many times can i use rootjuice for the best results?

Temp:20-24c
Humidity:40-60%

I would get some some bulbs of the correct spectrum. Those bulbs are for use in aquariums on coral
 
HPS bulbs are around 3200K and MH are around 5600K and are the best ranges for growing herb.

the links to the bulbs you posted. the ad says they peak at about 420nm which is about 7000K, way out of the spectrum of usable light.

if you were to get some 5600K bulbs instead of those aquariums bulbs you would get much better growth rates with the same wattage. the bulbs you have now are best used in a cheesy night club

i cant afford a mh yet,but what about some cheap clf/floro?
Click to expand...

your setup will work great for now. just replace those bulbs with bulbs that give off a bright white light (5600K).

if you can't afford it right now those lights will do but they blue and purple spectrums aren't that helpful

are those T8's fluoro's?

these will work much better: http://www.staples.com/office/suppl...28321-272484-25&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=728321

the price is high but that link is for a 24 pack. it's much cheaper for just a few

good luck
 
no these are T5.If i replase these with cool white T5 bulbs will it be fine?Whats the difference between cool white/daylight?Cool white gots more blue?
 
The type of lights you are using are wrong, Envirolites are good for the novice grower, Cool white are good for seedlings and vegine they run at 6400k. warm white are then used for flowering 5200k. These lamps give out 100% par which is the light the plants uses and need to grow, I say these are good for the novice as the dont get to hot , they are easy to set up, cheap to buy and cheap to run, about 20p a day. You can put these lampsd about 2" above the plants which should stop them stretching to much. Hope this helps
 
Everything seems ok to me.Here is my 11 days plant,its on a 2,5L pot
Soil:allmix(biobizz)
Ferts:Only rootjuice yet
In a couple of days i ll use for the first time BioGrow 1/4 of str.Its 2-5ml per 1L of water.So i ll use only 1ml per L.
Hey i ve got a question for you.Well if i mix water+fert i ll have to use it right away?Wont it spoil if i ll keep it for 5-10 days?
