Nice start! Baz is right, just keep the CFL's close, and bury the seedlings a little deeper when you put them in the E & F. What kind of seeds did you start?

Have you decided on nutes yet?

Good luck. I'll subscribe and follow.

is 24/0 better compared to 18/6. what im asking is does 24/0 hour lighting schedule speed up growth?

im new to the hydro growing so i was wondering can i transplant a 3 week old out soil making sure the roots are cleaned, into a hydroponics with out the rockwool, just straight up put the plant in the rocks. i ran out of room for some of my ladies when there older sisters went to flower so i thought i would use the little sisters for a learning experenice.

pointers,tips, knowledgE?

well heres them pics check out my leafs on my plant s what do you guys think that is??like it looks yellow in tha pic but idk its more of a brown color...im watering them every 4 hours....maybe im over watering them thats the only thing i think it could be...its on a couple of my other plants but its not as bad...and the plant that does have the brown ends its a litte lighter green than the other plants..

k soo ive spent like 2 hours trying to figure this mess out...and since im a new grower i tend to over react..but its a learning thing...any way ive came to the concluson that im eather over watering my plants, nute burn opr a combation....but ive decided to cut back on the flood fequencys...i was waterin them every 4 hours...so i decided to water them every 6 and see wat that does...the only problem is after they get watered at 8pm they want get watered again till 6 tha next morning...but well see what happens....

lookin good! and i dont see what all the fuss was about how they were "stretching" as seedlings, ive done a few grows now and all my seedlings will look similar to that. Now that their in their new homes you cant even tell there was an early stretch or whatever
