4 Warm CFL's putting out about 2000 lumen each. What is a good temp for veg?

none
Bag seed is not so bad...in my opinion. So far your plants look good. Don't over water or over fertilize them... it will stunt growth and possibly kill your babies.
Good luck.

Hey robbie,
1st go get some daylight or cool white around 6500K spec. for the vegging, then put some more soil in your cup, it looks half full. Make sure you have holes at the bottom for drainage.
You don't need to worrie about trans. for a while.
What type of food are you giving them, what the ph, what type of soil. ?

you could give it 1/4 to start out with.
As for the soil, what is the nuts facts I can't see it in the pic. also look for time released on the package, you really don't want anything with time relase.

As for the p.h you should have it around 6.3 to 6.5 for soil. and make sure to add more soil in the cup.
If you have a walmart this is the cheapest place to get the bulbs. they have a few wattages types. check out the lumens ratio to the wattage and spec. of the bulb.

After rev. the plant food this will be ok for flowering but I would not use it for vegging, You should have example 5-2-2 , the N bigger value then the other two nuts. I think they have another product like that something like 15-5-5, 15-10-10.
IT looks like your plant soil has nuts in it, it doesn't say the ratio?
I have read that the viol. soil should be ok I just have never used it. I use a mix of coco and ocean forest organic soil.

Yea gimmie links!!
Thanks for all this help! I thought the same thing about the nutes but could not find anything....so I will keep the one I have now and use for flowering and get nutes with more N like you mentioned. When they veg and flower do I feed every time I water, also (im trying to suck up as much info as I can here....lol) Im only using CFL's Im hoping I can keep it this way as the growing environment is limited I know warmer lights are better, also red light is good as well, or so I herd. Would this CFL bulb be good for flowering, should I mix with my regular warm lights?
Dude thanks again man!
