First Grow - Bag seed - 3 plants stealth

Alright this will be my first grow. I have taken an original xbox box and lined the inside with some white paper.

Setup:
1 - Original xbox box
1 - 14 watt CFL
1 - 13 watt CFL
1 - 2.5" x 2.5" computer fan (at the top of box to blow hot air out)

The lights are about 2-3 inches away from the plants.

I have been leaving the lights on 24 hours a day for about a week and a half. I water when the soil is dry with tap water that sits out for a couple days.

I lined the box with tin foil and had one CFL on it for 1 day. (bad idea) Well i didnt know tin foil created hot spots and well 1 of my plants leaves is turning whitish and another just basically shriveled up. I now have the box lined with white paper and 2 CFL's totaling 27 watts.

Questions:

1. Will the 2 plants that got burned be alright?
2. Do i have enough light as of now?
3. If not, then about how much should i have?
4. My babies are kinda tall i think, about 2 inches between nodes, is this normal?

I have read a bunch on growing recently from different threads on here and think i have a pretty good idea of how to grow, but any advice you may have is greatly appreaciated. I will be trying to upload pics every day or so. Thank you.

More Pics. This is id say about day 10. I lost track but o well.

One more. These are taken with my BlackJack Phone so there not really that great.

They are crazy stretched man, im not a soil man but i would bury them 1/2 in from the embryonic leaves. Then move the light closer. those cfl's don't get that hot. Another thing too you want one 6500k cfl and a 3000k cfl to cover the light spectrum better. Happy growing and good luck.

Yea i was gonna bury them deeper but i ran out of soil so im gonna be getting some more tommorrow and maybe some more CFLs hopefully.

FoxFarm or root's organic work well, atleast thats what my soil friends tell me.

New pics:

Day 18

2 of the plants look pretty good right now. The other was being eaten by a little fucking worm but thats taken care of now so its looking a lot better than it did.

More from today.

Well im not exactly sure but the soil i used was in a bag outside in a shed but i guess it was in the soil. it almost completely ate my baby but its looking better now.


When can i tell sex of the plant? I think im just gonna wait about 10 more days (4 weeks) to put them into 12/12.

Lookin alot better then they where! What kinda soil are you usin? I just transplanted my little ones into some fox farm ocean forest and added a couple more 43 watt CFL's and there growth is amazing (mine are about the same age). Gots to love fox farm anyhoo keep up on the good grow and keep us updated peace.

Im about to go get some more CFL's prolly a few 43w. I need to transplant into bigger pots soon and the soil i used is Scott's Potting soil. Just had it laying around but im gonna be going to get more soil and lights in about 10 min.

Peace ill post more pics later or tommorrow or sumthin.

So its been like 2 months since i posted and basically about a month and a half ago and i had to transplant my plants outside. I have rarely checked on them maybe 3 times in the past month and a half. The first time i went, one plant had been uprooted and was nowhere in sight; The second had been cut in half or eaten by an animal most likely. And the third was fine. So i only had 2 plants left. Well i went back last week and the first thing i noticed was the one that was fine was definitely a male so i killed. The final plant that was cut or eaten in half was still there and was showing it was a female. There are tiny buds and shes looking good. However the past two nights have been around 32 degrees and i have not been back yet. But anyways here are pics of my last plant.

(pics are bad cause there my cellphone)
