This is my first time attempting to grow. I am growing indoors in my closet with a make shift grow tent with 4 100W 2700K cfl bulbs and a sun visor for a car for reflection. I am using miracle grow seed starting potting soil and keeping it well watered. 1 plant doesn't look too good and I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on why. I think they look pretty good for my first grow. I have them on a 24-0 light cycle because I heard this was best for the vegetative stage. I will change to 12-12 for flowering stage.Any help or tips is appreciated

Isn't that what your supposed to do to mimic the days getting shorter? I'm nowhere near flowering right now. I am just curious if they look good for 4 days

they look ok, lights need to be directly above the pots, make sure the soil dry out before watering (top few inches and only water 100ml round the stem on each seedling)
most new growers kill there plants by overwatering

and read any book on growing weed, you really need to

Your using bloom spectrum right know. Need to switch those to 6500 k daylight bulbs. Research growing with cfl's and get some ideas on setting up to flower. I'd help but I run t-5 ho's so I can't help us much on cfl set up. Your going to need a way to ph your water very soon also.

Bro I'm not trying to be the one to tell you this but....Those plants ain't gonna last long. They're destined to failed specially if you haven't done your research. I'm a Novice myself with only three grow under my belt but I've done RESEARCH INTENSIVELY. Last grow each 5 gallon pot yielded on average 6 - 7 Oz.

**These are very important questions to ask yourself**

What's inside your medium?
What are you going to do with the smell?
Where is the Ventilation?
How are you controlling the Humidity and keeping temperature down?
What happens when they outgrow that small space?

Bro he is talking about the miracle grow... a lot of people hate it...but u can use it, just don't expect much quality.....don't feed your plant nothing but water! Because of the time release nutes...and go hit up google, she is a WONDERFUL tool .....but there is a select few people who like miracle grow....do I believe in it hell no... just saying it's been done
