hey whats up everyone. this is my first time growing although i have had some outdoor plants in the past but they were not at my house. growing indoor is an entirely different project. so i consider this my first time growing. i have 3 plants inside my closet.

information:

GROW SPACE: Closet (covered by blanket)
POTS: 4 gallon. (11 inches wide X 10 inches deep)
SOIL: Miracle Grow Moisture Control (bottom inches of pots)
Miracle Grow Flower & Vegetable Garden Soil (Fills the rest of pots)
+rocks at the bottom for drainage. pots have 3 holes on the bottom as well.
WATER: Tap water left out for 48 hours to kill chlorine and make room temp.
TEMPERATURE: Usually around 80-85 degrees
HUMIDITY:65%
FERTILIZER: Jacks Classics all purpose 20-20-20 for vegetative stage & jacks classics blossom booster 20-30-10
also using superthrive every other watering.
LIGHTS: 23 Watt CFL (100 Watt Equivalent) 1 over each plant. (i have 2 hanging over 1 right now and all will have 2 once i get the money.)
i am going to have about 4 on each plant once i put into flowering.
the lights are 3-4 inches above each plant. lights are on 18/6 cycle
AIR CIRCULATION: I have a small fan in the closet but it is not directly on the plants. (on 24 hours)

i have 2 clones and 1 seed.
The clones are Afghan Kush (14 days old) Romulan (14 days old) and LA Confidential (1 month)
in my pictures the order from left to right is Romulan, LA, Afghan Kush

Sup dude,
I'm starting my first grow as well...check it out if you have a chance...
As far as your plants are growing they seem to be starting fine, you might have a little bit of nute burn, indicated by the yellow tips of your leaves...that's probably because you're using miracle grow...you might want to think about transferring your plant to a larger pot with a different soil (foxfarm is good, but generally an organic soil with no fertilizers is best so you can control that)...just some advice from a fellow beginner...dont worry, i'm using miracle grow to right now and I'm gonna try to switch in a week to larger 5 gall pots...it provides more room for the tap root and makes the plant nice and strong...:rastasmoke:
Best!

i understand how you would want to switch soil and the pots. but i am not looking to grow my shit for too long so i wont bother with changing the pots. they are big enough now but i might consider changing my soil. but maybe not until they go into flowering because that is when it matters most,
