First grow log

Hi everyone, this is my first time at growing cannabis. I am running 3 CFL's, and 2 florescents (one cool white, one gro-lux). To start i used bag seeds from my collection, then to germinate i used papertowel method. When they germinated i planted 3 seeds face down in 3 pots with organix soil mix. Then i used an old reptile housing and took the net of to use the frame to hang my lights on and use it so i could wrap it in tinfoil. Placed setup in closet with lights on 24hr and watered as needed with distilled water. One died so i am down to two that are looking healthy. This will be their 4th day under the new lighting condition. So far to get to this point starting with germination it has been almost a week and a half, so its going pretty rapid. The pics below were taken this morning. Will keep this updated as it is a grow log :D. Lemme know if yall have any input on things to do different as i go along!

*notice on one of the plants that it has a funky colored leave like something was spilled on it, its a little bit brighter green in a few spots, what is this?*

Few more pics, some are when i had 3 the ones that are more rescent are the pics of just the 2 plants.

Nice mate.. I'll be watching this one! :thumbsup:.. no need to worry about the funky coloured leaf right now as it will mend itself..

is that tin foil on the walls?

I thought it was tin foil too.. you shouldn't actually use tin foil because it creates hotspots to burn the leaves..

eureka! of course.. why didn't I think!? if that is tin foil then remove it immediately because that's what has caused the leaf burn.. paint the walls in matt white or use mylar.. NOT tin foil, leaf should be ok after that.

Ahhh, ok i thought tin foil could be a lower grade use of mylar. Mkay removed and going to get mylar. The walls are matt white i just thought i would increase the lighting that way. Can you get mylar in like lowes?

Don't know.. I've never used mylar myself..

Wish you the best of luck, ill be watching this threat :thumbsup:

It looks like you have read a good amount on how to grow.

the pots look like it will work great for a long time.
I my self find it better to plant the seed right in to a big pot first off.
cuz then you will not have to transplant it later.

it saves time also. usuly when I start a new grow I plant in a big pot. cuz then I don't have to worry about rootbound.

and 3 clf lights and 2 floro lights will work good. cuz thats all I have used on all my 12 past grows.and they worked just fine all the way through the flowering cycle to the harvest.

and my buds were great and cristaly.

well good luck on your grow.

AH thank you hydrocannabis, yes i have read a great deal on it and thank you for reassuring me on my lighting. I know thats the biggest issue and i wasnt sure if i had it covered. Now my next question is i have another seed ready to be planted in the 3rd pot that the last one didnt make it in. Do i have enough lighting to run a third pot in the setup or is that only sufficient for 3?

I read for ages before i grew i probably read about 10 different guides all over the interenet and did extensive research on lighting and specturms..etc..will keep you guys updated on this im really excited about it. Its fun to see the progress i have already made. As of this evening they are about to shed their first 2 leaves to grow the next 2 on one plant you can already make out the other two leaves very well, so i should start to see new branch growth in the next few days. :-D
