First grow here. Been trying to read up on as much as possible here but not sure how I'm doing..

All bagseed from some good buds. Started to break the soil about 3 days ago. All germinated in peat pellets (Pic 1 and 2) and moved to these pots (Pic 3) after discovering (and carefully removing) small amounts of mold forming at the bottom of the pellets. Pots are filled with Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix.





Been giving them 16/8 using fluoro tube lights in conjunction with as much outdoor time in the sun as possible. Working on getting some HPS/MH lights shipped out. I don't have a picture of the indoor setup unfortunately but they do sit about 2-3 inches off the lights. Do they appear stretched? Could leaving them in the sun be causing them to grow tall? Or am I just being a nervous parent? Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

Woops. I actually meant they're getting 18/6 (Little high when I posted that, sorry! ) Unfortunately we can't really do 24 hours of light because they're left in a bedroom while indoors, and stoners love to sleep!

We have 2 tube lights in 1 fixture. Just your standard 60W flouro's.
Trying to get our hands on some better lights once they start growing up.

Watch closely in those pots...they tend to dry out very quickly.

Thanks, Mom! We'll be sure to keep them nice and moist. Will it be bad to transplant those pots directly into soil once they outgrow them? Wasn't sure if the roots will be able to make it through the walls.

Thanks for all your help!

The roots will attach to the walls of the pots...I carefully removed my plants from them..and repotted them. But I assume you could just plant the whole thing....These were started in those..they are a lil over 2 months old, but I finish outside, so I use very little artificial lighting.Just areogarden lighting on cloudy days.. Good Luck...

Picked up a cheap bathroom vanity light at the depot and dropped 4 100 Watt CFLs into it. You think the 2 tubes and 4 CFLs will be enough to raise these babies til we can sex them?

We actually had 100% germination of all 11 seeds we used so space and light will soon become an issue I'm sure. Hopefully these new lights will help out til we can move up to something bigger.
