First time :leaf::leaf::leaf:Master Kush:leaf::leaf::leaf: CFL closet grow...(first grow ever). Room is converted basement bathroom to 3'x3'x3' lined with panda film. Carbon filter in between exhaust vent and cover for exhaust. 200w (trying to keep wattage around 60-100 as they grow into veg stage) per plant 6500K setup with 14,490 lumens on 2 plants. Germination with wet paper towel 48 hours and had 1.5" taproot. Individual light only 1" from top of sprout. Have more 6500K and 2700K CFLs and 4 or 5 10.5" clamp on reflectors to be added later. I have a small wind tunnel fan to cool lights and a big wind tunnel fan underneath to bring temps down. Temp is steady around 81° and humidity around 50%. Need ideas on how to keep humidity up and temp down. Using a humidifier to keep it around 50%, but if I turn it off then it drops to around 35%-40%. I have thought about using a window unit in the basement to bring the basement temp down so that the room will be cooler in general.

MK1, only about 1.5-2 days old (from planting...since paper towel germination), does it look alright?
Is this OK.jpg

MK2, same age, looked good and thought that they needed to be closer to lights (raised up about 1/2-3/4 inch) but checked on them a hour later and this is how MK2 looked. So, I moved it back to original place. What is wrong with it? Did I almost burn it up?

MK1 is doing very well but I still don't like the way MK2 is doing.

I tried germinating 6 seeds and only 2 sprouted a taproot but the others cracked and no taproot, should I plant them or are they garbage now (been 96 hours and the two that got planted germinated within 48 hours)? Also trying to germinate one feminized Green Love Potion, been almost 24 hours and nothing yet. Hoping for the best.

I have a question about the MK 1 burning itself?, I think. I checked the plants last night at 12:30am and then did not check again until I woke up at 10:00am. MK 1 was only about 1/2" away from light and had changed colors....burned? Please let me know what it is, although I have already trimmed the leaves that were burned.



  • New life Day 1 of Green Love Potion Feminized
  • MK 2 looking a lot better today in picture #2 and #3
  • MK 1 Almost Burn itself up last night in picture #4 and #5 :confused:
  • MK 1 After I trimmed the leaves

Master Kush 1 & 2 is about 13 days old and Green Love potion is around 7 days old. I plan to transplant the two Master Kush plants tomorrow night or Saturday morning. Do they look as if they are ready to be transplanted or should I give them a little longer? I was planning on going straight to 5 gallon bucket. Should I go to a 1 - 2 gallon pot first or does it matter?

One more question: Why the bad drooping? Lack of watering? Lack of space? Too much water? Read several things and I can't figure out exactly why they are drooping.

OrganicBlend: Thanks! Trying, but this is only the first time I have tried to grow anything from a seed. I am happy with the progress so far.
