1st Grow, Let Me Know What You Think

[stickythumb]

This is my first grow, all were germinated from bagseed. I have planted them in Jiffy Organic soil. I am using 2 42w 6500k bulbs, 3 23w 6500k bulbs and 1 23w 2700k bulb, I'm hoping this is enough light. Please let me know what you think

they sure look like they are injoy

the one on the left don't seem to happy about its light thou as u can see its growing to the other light lol

seedlings look good for a weird light setup,curious to see how they finish out.

Thanks everyone, lol, Yes it is quite a weird light setup, have to work with what I have at the time, I have pulled the lights over so that they are covering the left plant more, hopefully this will help with its stretching toward the light. I'm very anxious on how this grow will go, definitely keep you all updated.

Oh, this was also the day after transplanting them from solo cups into their final home, thanks to my wife, the transplant went smoothly!

Looking good so far! Good luck - hope they do well for you! :D

Welcome to the farm! They look fine, phototropism is normal. If they start getting lanky you may want to consider adding a fluoro tube, they spread light better.

Ok, so I have read that during veg I don't nesessarily need to add nutes, is this correct...can I just use water, also if I can, how important is it to start using nutes during flowering?

 

[Seamaiden]

If you're growing in soil, this is true. If you're growing in soilless media (peat or coir-based mixes that don't have added minerals) then you'll need to feed after a certain point.

Second question, it's important.

Thank you, they are planted in Jiffy seed starting soil, which I just found out is something that I do not want to use, I am immediately going to buy new soil from a local shop, and once again I am going to have to transplant :(

My first grow was under 2 four foot shop lights 8 of those 23 way cfls and a 70 watt hps yard light from lowes lol...results were great

Going with FF Ocean Forest for my medium, excited to see how they do in better soil!

Alright...Transplant was a success I believe, new soil for the ladies and they seem to be doing good. New light setup, I know I really should have some sort of refector, any ideas for a homemade one?

 

[DrMcSkunkins]

Something like this can be easily cut and taped to make a rigged reflector.

If you just cut a small hole and run the cord through it might fit just like a reflector...

I've got new shots of the plants. Some leaves have started "tacoing", is this from low humidity? My RH is around 48% and temp is between 79 and 85, No extra nutes have been added

 

[MamaBear]

They look perfectly fine to me. As the leaves grow bigger, they will flatten out. You're doing everything right - go smoke a bowl and relax!

 

[stickythumb]

Awesome, thanks for the reassurance :)

Update: So the grow has been going very well, I'm coming up on the 3rd week of veg for the first plant and the other 2 are about 4 days behind...I think I'm going to stay in 1 gallon pots through harvest, maybe flip them at about 12" tall

So the first plant looks as though it has grown maybe an inch and a half through the night, she is now putting off an aroma, today was the first day I have smelled it. The other two seem to be doing well, hopefully their lack in size is due to just being a few days younger.
