Skunk #1's in my desk

[FlyGuyOU]

Ok so I currently have 3 skunk #1's from Sensi Seeds growing in my desk, I came up with the idea a week or so ago, and I have 3 sprouts, just about an inch or so outta the ground. My space is limited its about 1.5x1.3x2.8ft...

How big do you think I should let them get before going to flower, I was thinking about 5in or so (more? less?) the lights I'm using are 3 26wt cfs, and a 50wt hps . For such a small space I figure this should be enough, I could maybe rig up a few more cfs, but then I start dealing with heat. Right now its about 80-82...I'm running two fans and I figure thats about the lowest I'm gonna get it. I'll post some pics when I get my camera back, but I'm hoping to get an oz from each plant. If I only get one female I'll let her get bigger but if I have 3 fems I'll have to keep them all smaller.

Any advise would be great.

Oh yeah I'm growing in Expert Gardeners Organic Mix

when to flower??? well how big do you want them to get?? if you flower now at five inches they could finish at anywhere from 10 to 15 inches

ok so two of my plants are looking really good, the third is looking a little weak, when it sprouted she only had one leaf....although now all three have their first true pair of leaves, the other 2 are working on their 2nd. I managed to drop the temp down to the 70's so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll post some pics when i get new batteries this afternoon.

Also my buddy just got back from amsterdam with some seeds (cross btw white widdow and N Lights I think) but he has no place to grow them, so I was thinking of getting 5more from him, would I be able to finish both plants even though these new ones will be about 10 days behind?? or should I just start them out seperate?

Ahhhh! my babies are comming along nicely, the plant that was looking crappy has improved so thats nice, but today I saw a bug, it was tiny, smaller than a grain of rice, and i dont know what it is...i only saw one and smooshed it good. can anybody help me out? i don't think it was a spidermite.

ok so i noticed the last few days that the perlite on thats on top of the soil is turning a yellowish color, its only the part thats exposed and if i mix it up a bit everything below is still white. i thought it might be some sort of soil stain from watering....anybody know anything???

i wonder if odor will be an issue with the skunk; i'm going to be growing silver pearl, which has some skunk1 in it, along with NL and early girl; flowering under a 200w hps, but i have plenty of space; let me know if it starts to stink for ya

ok so i finally got some pictures...what do you guys think?
they look a little yellow im gonna transplant them into gallon milk jugs this weekend, im planning on finishing them in those.

i gotta get some ph strips tomorrow too, what do those run?

Ok so I'm gonna repot my plants, and I have some gravel, I was thinking of putting it in the bottom of the jugs to help with drainage. I was hoping this way I wouldn't have to cut holes in the bottoms as I don't want to deal with the mess. what do you guys think?

I went and got 2 more cfls, so now i have 4 26w and a 50w hps. The plants are turning a bit yellow, I gotta check on the ph, but i still haven't gotten any strips yet.

[FlyGuyOU]

I got 2 of my plants transplanted, the other one wasn't looking good so i held off on transplantin.

I got strips and the ph of my water was way off and i think thats the reason they started looking like shit. So i went and bought them some nice water and slowly they are pickin up. Still not very tall and only with 4 leaves....thats kinda dissapointing its been 2 1/2 weeks and they are only 2in tall

any thoughts on how i could makeum a bit bigger i need to put them into flowerin this week prolly as i need them to be done end of mayish.
