I would stay away from miracle grow as well. All the fox farm products are great and work well. If you buy dirt at HD buy some Scotts. Miricle grow has too much crap in it. Transplant that baby into at least 3 gallon or 5 gallon. Ditch the foil. Use mylar or white paint. Get the light that you have close. Move those cfl's closer to the plants too. They are doing no good where they are now. Don't give any nutes for a few weeks.You will know when your baby is hungry. Get some HID lights if you can, get a fan for air flow and read read read...

Black trash bags? To line the room? If so, I would suggest just painting it a bright white, the idea is the reflect light. The trash bags would be good on the floor though, helps in cleanup if you may spill or whatever.

My solution was to buy Pro-Mix at HD. I used 70% Pro-Mix, 10% additional perlite, and 20% worm castings.

If you don't want to mix your own I would recommend the Pro-Mix. It already has lime and perlite and peat in there. Search for pro-mix here and you'll see people are using it.

IMO, I would ditch the T5's and use those CFL's with some more CFL's. Maybe 4-6 cfl's. (if you can't get a M/H - HPS) But you might want a good light to flower.

Nothin bad to say here...

Agreed about the CFL's though, I would say at least 4 of them, then you can cover all angles of the plant for now, least til it gets bigger.

I grew this with scotts. I will use ocean forest fox farm next time. No nutes for the first month then fox farm nutes..

i'm only buyin 2 more cfls.. 3000k for flowering once the plant is a bit bigger everything should fit right this is only the 4th day of its life =) besides the t5 puts almost no heat out.. its the 2 23watt cfls that kick the temp up.. 6 of em would make it be 80 open most likely

Thats a beauty!

I'm tellin' you the cfl's are better than that T5. You will get better light distribution. I use some cfl's but my main source is a 400 watt M/H HPS. Cost me 175.00 . If your concerned about heat then you need to vent. Do you have fans going?

Thanks for the props...I just harvested her yesterday.
