first indoor, advice plz

[kiddcuruption]

so i started my first indoor grow about 2 weeks ago

i removed the little cup in the middle!!! it was some kind of experiment!
i use two fluoro 18" grow tubes( that i place about 2 inches from tops of the plants) and three cfls above those! all the lights are in a reflector i made myself

so far every thing seems to be going ok, but they havent seemed to get any taller in the past 3 days. all this is in a wooden closet. i am using a heating pad to keep it all warm but how do i get the right humidity and what is a good temp???

thanks all who replies!!!

72-82 is good 75-77 is ideal and just fill up a gallon jug and leave in the cap off in the room next to your plants you have an awesome lighting system by the way... and what are you growing?? keep us updated with the grow

mid 70s high no more than 10 degree for low is best
you want more or less humity??
your soil looks dry
no grwth a bove ground, growing roots
water them plants

im liking the lighting system..and the soil does look pretty dry

 

[kiddcuruption]

the soil is only dry about 3 or so inches down i dont want to over water them
when i use my moisture meter it reads that its pretty moist a few inches down do you think i should spray the tops of the soil a little bit
by the way these are just bag seeds, but i got some pretty good stuff over the summer with the same seeds outside

 

[NLights420]

well the roots on your plants should be down a few inches..but you can give them a light spray on the top

 

[weezer]

no spray WATER ,,if they had legs they would kick you in the nuts

 

[NLights420]

whys that weezer..whats wrong with spraying them?

 

[kiddcuruption]

could any one tell me why not to spray the top of my soil? and when is a good time to start spraying the plants??

 

[Batman407]

i dont think your ever supposed to start spraying the plants with anything

 

[kiddcuruption]

what about spraying the top of the soil?

 

[NLights420]

yea give her a spray..theres no problem with it

 

[weezer]

whys that weezer..whats wrong with spraying them?

at this time imo. they are too dry to spray
watering would be faster and spray only will get top of soil of soil moist

 

[NLights420]

yes but he said the soil in the bottom is moist..its just the top soil that is dry

 

[weezer]

it looks prety dry i would think it was dry lower but he has the plant
i know if my soil got that dry on top it is dry below

it is better to give one good water than several small ones

 

[NLights420]

yea i..i mean you can do whatever u want..just give it some water

 

[kiddcuruption]

yea the humidity was low and it dried the top up real fast.but i put a cup of water in the middle and it seems to help alot!!!!
thanks
