Tell Me What You Think

heres my setup......
i have six plants i jus planted today after germiating them
i have them in bio degratable pots for now until i put them in bigger pots
they are sitting on a heating pad
and they are under two 150W cfl bulbs
i mixed plain top soil with perlite ad watered them for the first time with water that had root stimulant in it
i have one exhaust fan pulling hot air out of the area
and a fan that keeps it at a nice temp in there....

GOOD SETUP?????
ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ADVICE?
PLZ REPLY

post some pictures?

Sounds like you are getting off to a good start. Any idea of the water's ph?

thx man
yea the PH is between 6.3-6.9 in all of them
how long should i wait before i give the seedlings plant food?
till they r bout 3-4 weeks?

When they are about 6 inches tall u can start giving it like half of wat is recomended just to say its gettin a littttttle boost

so for now....
just water and root stimulator?
and i have a ?
i have granual feed that is 10-10-10
is this good feed?

Its a low nute but can work , im using some all natural Grow terra set at 20-20-20.
Just Keep it alive naturaly by its self with water light etc when it gets to 6 inchs about start mixing the nutes with some water at like 6.5-7.0 max on ph (urs seem alright) and ur grow should never die (unless u get bugs or over water it) light sycle is 18-6?

where do u get high nute plant food like that?
i went to lowes and that all they had but ill look aroud

its ok to use root stimulant on them tho right?

and today is the first day so
i ran 24 but tomm im goin to run 18/6 veg and 12/12 flower

Does cycles are good , lower to 18/6 when u see the seedling coming out till then keep it as warm as u can. Try to find a high time shop or any kinda pot store were they sell papers grinders pipes bongs and they will probly have nutes and growing gear

ok cool
o yea i planted my seedling when they already bairly just started to form the very first leaves

and 2 have already sprouted from the dirt

start a 18 6 cycle when they all sprout they need as much light as possible

good start man. try to get some pics up. you plannin on expanding your lights yeah? with 6 plants your gonna need a fair array of clfs. on the upside though when you flower em, you will be able to take the lights from the inevitble males and put em on the females , cuz thats when they will really take off and you'll need more lights for em. how big is your grow space?

Good luck with the grow man,

Ery

Nah 2 x 150 watter cfls are perfect , u can do both grow / flow i have one and know many people with 150 or 200 watt cfls

thx man
im starting the 18/6 cycle today
4-5 of the eight plants have already sprouted....and i planted yesterday
my lights are 2 150W cfl's
but later on down the line...ill prolly pick up either more cfl's or a MH for veg
and HPS for flower
i think my root stimulant is helping these seedlings alot
my growspace is big but i only have them in a section
with two cfl's with tin foil aroud the lights
all my plants are on a heating pad as well
temp stays bout 75-82 in the day and 70-75 at night

since my seeds sprouted so fast....i think they may be Big Bud but not sure
i just got them from some weed n germinated 60 of them
till there roots were about 1-2 inches then planted

my cfl's are bulbs with 150W equivalant using only 40W
2740 lumens a peice = 5200 lumens
both soft white

Can u send me the link of ur cfls ? ( good morning btw ) lol

good mornin to ya too!
what do u mean the link?
just a link so u can see what lights i have?

Ya cuz i think i got a 200 watter cfl but it produces way more lumens so i doubt they look like mine

they are 40W but it says they put out 150W equivalant
it says its enery efficient
are these still good?
