my first grow journal!!! come check it out, advice is much appreciated

ok now first things first. my name is Joe and im in love with MaryJane :wink: hah ok anyway so in recent years ive grown a few plants mainly outdoors just to get a little bit of experience under my belt. this year i decided to grow indoors. so i took some bagseeds and put them in a 5gallon pot while all my supplies that i ordered off the internet arrive. i started the bagseeds with 4 23W 6500k CFL bulbs. [3 days germinating] i got quite a few differnt kinds of nutes and soil. i got 2 trainwreck seeds that my boy gave me. i germinated them for 3days and just planted them last night. [updates on the trainwreck later today] i have 1 23W 6500k CFL bulb above each and 600watt MH light about 24" above. the reason i have those 2 small CFL bulbs on them as well because i have noticed with little experiments in the past that CFL bulbs are great for lil sprouts and into veggin as long as it is between 5000-6500k. now here is a list of all the toys i had ordered and recently purchased and i am using for my first real recorded grow:
- 1 600watt HPS and MH bulbs w/ digital ballast
- moisture, light and soil PH meter
- H2O PH tester
- 5 12" growing pots
- 2 LCD digital indoor thermometer w/ hygrometer [1 for in my grow room / 1 for outside grow room]
- 1 12" fan for ventilation
- 1 6" rotating fan for circulation
- regular potting soil - 21-10-10
- 8oz of miracle grow [orchid food] - 30-10-10
- slow release plant food 12-3-13
- 4 23watt 6500k CFLs
- 1 65watt 2700k CFL
- 2 tranwreck seeds [not sexed, got off my buddy]
- 4 female ICE seeds
- 1 big buddha CHIESEL
- i have 4 more strains but im not growin them this time around

- im going to post my pics of my grow room and what i have started but thats it so far. check out the pics and let me know what you think. please dont hold anything back. i got a decent setup and quite a few nice seeds so hopefully i got a couple people interested. again any advice is much appreciated!!!

on one of my 4 test plants im noticing a brownish/goldish spots on it. i have no clue on what it could be. does anybody have any suggestions?? my PH is around 6.9...thats a little too high right??? could that have something to do with the spotting?? note: its only on one of four plants.

ok so the last 2 days have been some serious overhaulin on the growroom. ive gutted the entire thing and wired it from the ground up (learning alot as i went.) my biggest problem right now is mylar i dont have any money for that right now so i dont have any and i cannt paint my closet a flat white. any suggestions would be amazing. anway i should be expecting my seeds from attitute today when they come the real journal starts :-P my 4 test plants are doing amazing as well. i just recently started testing my water ph before i feed my plants. i know it might be a tad too low but im feedin them at a ph of 6.1 for now see how that turnsout. (any suggestions) my one trainwreck about a week old is starting to have light green spots all over in with the dark green which is not what i want. they just didnt look very healthy...ill post pics later...im thinkin a lil nute burn so i flushed her twice (only ina 16pz red dixie cup) ill check later and see how they look...any advice about the leaves plz lemme kno ima lil worried and its my only trainwreck :!: thank you for any advice anyone can offer....smoke up:bigjoint:
