Well this being the first time i have really tried a hand at growing, I am without a doubt inexperienced and have been relying on forums as well as Google to help me in the process.
So far i have pretty much a bedroom setup i guess you could call it with only 1 Florescent bulb in a desk lamp that has an adjustable reach. The specs on the bulb is its a "Bright White" Florescent Bulb with 9w of power i think?
Secondly i am using potting mix as well as a pinch of miracle grow just to get that little nutrients boost. Along with the miracle grow for nutrients i am using some Vigoro (Link) every couple days or so just to make sure they are getting enough. To be honest i am holding the fertilizer in a Miller High Life 40oz with the correct proportions of the Vigoro so that its a little less then half strength. When i feed, i only fill up the twist off cap and pour it in the center of the plants and then a few drops of water so as to help spread the nutrients throughout.
As far as lighting schedule goes I have decided to make my plant nocturnal :). Don't know if this will harm the plants at all but they seem to be taking it well. What i mean by nocturnal is that i turn the light on at about 10pm at night and then shut it off around 930-10am the next morning. The reason i decided to do this is because my room gets a lot of outside light and since I'm growing indoors i want to make sure there's a concentrated spread of light without any "distractions" from other light sources.
On a side note, When i first started these seedlings, had the light a little too high and the stems got about 4 inches long by themselves. So to fix this minor problem i have put in some more potting mix/ pinch of miracle grow to try and shorten the stems if you will and also added a few drops of fertilizer to give it that boost.
My main question is am i doing it right?!?! Also, if anyone with some higher knowledge has an questions, comments, or suggestions please don't hold back. I'm an open person and can take constructive criticism. I'm here to learn and that's it.
Thanks in advance guys. Really looking forward to this grow.
