My first grow info..

I have some nice green crack clones coming alone I'm using 2 t5 flourescense 6400k high output lights and I have air circulation and my plants look heathy as anything will post pics. Let me know how I'm doing for my first grow. I currently live in Canada and will be growing inside the whole time.

Not sure what kind of info you are looking for. Forgive me if I am telling stuff you already know. I am new to the rollitup forum, but I got a few grows under my belt.

I can't tell how strong the fan your using is.... but since it isn't an oscillating fan you need to be careful that so much direct airflow doesn't damage the plant leaves. I used a similar fan to provide some air flow to the bottom of a plant on my last grow and despite its small size and apparent lack of power, the constant direct airflow did a decent about damage to leaves on my plant until I adjusted the fan. An oscillating fan would be a good invest if you don't already have access to one.

Looks like you growing in a soil mix? Did the soil come with fertilizer in it? Are you using a organic supersoil mix? Or what nutrient line are you using? Do you plan on getting a pH meter or ppm....Soil has some natural buffering capacity, but you will likely want the tools and ability to adjust your nutrients and in turn your soil if you start to see some deficiencies etc. It looks like you just planted your clones.... if so they may not have rooted out of the biodegradable container the clones came in....which would give you time to transplant them to coco coir or a different soil mix should ya want to.

You want your plants as close to your T5 6500k grow lights as possible. That's not much light/wattage to start with, so you want your plants within an inch of the lights if they can handle it. You can use the back of your hand to test how close you can put the plants before they may get too hot and burn/stress. What is uncomfortable for your hand is uncomfortable for a plant as well. I have grown some fire with cfl lights, so don't let anyone tell you its not possible, but you are gonna want more wattage if you plan on growing more than one small plant.

Happy to answer any questions.
