Old guy does first grow.

Today is seventeen days from first sprout for two of my eight plants. The other six are about fourteen days old. A couple are obviously lagging behind. The rest are growing but it seems to me, rather slowly. Lighting is 18/6 three 65W CFL,under a reflector. I light with sunlight when possible. I very lightly fed them a commercial plant food (20-20-20) diluted to 1/4 the recommended strength about a week ago. I cut the bottom off the peat pots before I put them into the larger pots.

What's your opinion of the state of my plants ?

Thank you.

"They look healthy to me."

I'm like a doddering old fool with these things.

Thanks
There's been a lot of doddering older fools before you and me. Plato, Socrates, Archimedes, Pythagoras, etc. Age gives us wisdom, and some of us patience.

TWO DAYS ?? ! Shit !

Yes. I photographed them today.

I have my 3 65W CFLS very close to my plants. Less than an inch is some cases. I'll move them up for a couple of days.

Thanks. I read the article.

You know what ? I just ordered a couple of 600 watt HPS lamps and the rest of the stuff required. I'm tired of the cheap route.
