The begining! (Grow diary? PICS INCLUDED :D)

Well, my first thread wasn't very good I guess. So here goes...

I germinated 4 seeds a few days ago and put each one in a cup open whiskey plastic sample bottle. I am doing these in a pc which has been converted into a secret little grow op in my room. So far, everything is going well. Although I think I may have messed one up after I accidentally dropped it and the thing split everywhere.

My Setup!

Seedling 1

Seedling 2

Seedling 3


I just have a few questions :

1. Does anyone have an idea on how to secure that light to the side a lot better? That tape was holding the light horizontal, but the weight of it for 2 days seems to make it useless. I'm pretty high right now, and I just cant think of anything good >.>

2. How high should that light be from them?

3. This is the one I tipped over. After putting it back in the top, it seems to have split in half, is the sprout still ok? should I bury this whole part under soil?

4. Does anyone have any general tips on improving this setup in a cost effective way? (AKA I'm broke?)

Id love to hear anything

From what i can see you nead that light closer than what itis what are you feedin yet and if so what and what light is that you have there.Looking good all the same

Hey Wookie, I just started my first grow a few days ago as well. These look good though, about as far along as mine are. Almost built my grow box out of a computer tower but decided against it, I'm anxious to see how this works out.

I haven't fed it anything except water... Any Toronto people have some spare nutes for my babies? My buddy was gonna lend me like 5ml to mix, buttt he needed it . The light bulb is a 23W CFL 2500k i think.

Isn't giving it nutes before a week old useless? well, not useless, but not recommended?... Anyone else think the light isn't close enough?
