Greetings! Bless and Love from H.I.M. Selassie I! I hope all of you who are reading are doing Wonderful and Blessed! Well, I have started my second grow and here are the specs of it:

*Closet Grow; No Grow Box at the moment and using Aluminum Foil as Light Reflection.
*Strains: Hawaiian Snow (2), Jack Herer (1), Kandy Kush (1) and two No-Name Seeds off two regular Herb Bags.
*Medium: 80/20 Burpee Eco-Friendly Seed Starting Mix and Perlite.
*Pots: 1.75 Gallon Trash Containers; rectangular.
*Nutrients: Veg + Bloom
*Water: RO @ 6.1 PH
*Lights: CFLs @ 144 Watts; at the moment until I get an HID Kit.
*Thermometer w/Gyrometer, Ph Tester, Oscillating Fan.

I placed Hawaiian Snow, Kandy Kush and Jack Herer to Germinate 5 days ago and I am barely seeing a tap root. I think I am doing something wrong but I just can't figure it out. I purchase one of these containers http://tinyurl.com/cf2q8fv from Dollar Tree to germinate them inside with Styrofoam Cups and placed a Regular Heating Mat under the box, keeping the lid closed and letting it air out a few times per day. It is becoming very difficult to keep humidity at high levels, since I have read countless of times that Humidity needs to be ideally @ 75% - 85% and I cannot get higher than 60% Humidity. I feed them a little bit of water per day but it just might be me that is growing inpatient.

The 2 No-Name Seeds were have already been Germinated and been on 18/6 light cycle since 16 days, but their height is what worries me because they're about only 3" in height with the CFL Lights as close as 2" in distance. Their temperature stays around 75F - 85F but the Humidity Factor, is an issue with it dipping as low as 30% and as high as 50%. I want to use this Burpee Coco from Start (Germ.) to Finish (Flower) but I think this may not work, because I feel these two plants are needing something better than this, since this is just a "Starting" Medium. I initially want to acquire Aurora Roots Soiless Coco http://preview.tinyurl.com/d5ujye but I cannot afford it, at the moment because of the exaggerated shipping prices because I live in an area where I cannot find good soil and I do NOT want to use Miracle Grow. This is for a Personal Medicinal Grow and as such, I want good Sol; I might even go Hydroponic but only time will tell.

I will be posting pictures, very soon. ANY HELP is and will always be Appreciated! Thank you for your time! Bless and Love!
