Candy Bagseed CFL grow!! Advice needed
Im starting a grow log not so much to show off my grow but more to receive advice and pointers by some more experienced growers. I have some experience growing mostly in coco and organic soil. I also have a little experience with hydro mostly drip and very little experience with bubbleponics. This grow is different than ones before as its only to provide myself and my room-mate with a constant supply of smoke. I have a large selection of quality bag seed that has proven to provide some strains of interest. Here are my current specs for this grow.
Strain: Multiple Bag Seed most seeds were taken from bags and effects of parent strain documented
Lighting:4*35 watt 6500k CFL 2*23 watt 5100k CFL 3*13watt 6500k CFL 1*13 watt 2700k CFL = 238 watts actual draw
Ventilation:box fan as exhaust
Medium: Organic mixture of Humus soil, fine grade coco pith, hydroton, alfalfa meal, and Biotone Starter Plus
Nutrients:Miracle Grow organic choice liquid concentrate, alfalfa meal, molasses, and Espoma Biotone Starter Plus

Unfortunetly #1 has developed root rot due to anaerobic bacteria lingering in a poorly drained container SO I cloned said plant and ended up with four clones placed in coco and watered with alfalfa tea and placed inside plastic container to control humidity with a coco mat underneath clones to provide constant moisture
Placed 15 more bagseed in tap water to soak overnight
5 of the seed were separated as the parents producing ideal effects
Aptil 29
Placed 14 seeds in paper towel to germ and placed vertically near hot water heater

Clones from #1 look good
first set of seedling are developing 2nd pair of leaves
planted 6 seedling in coco and water with de chlorinated water
May 1
Transplanted 2 of the the healthiest seedling into 1/2 gallon containers
May 3
removed two weak seedlings and added 4 seedlings
May 23
Huge gap in documentation
currently 3 plants in veg that are about 4 weeks old. Plants have been stripped of all branches other than four primary branches created by topping 2 plants and FIM ing another . Have 1 clone left from plant that died from root rot slowly forming new growth . 4 seedling about 2 weeks in age pretty average in apearance but one seedling from a seeded "LOUD" bud very interesting looking with rounded leaves instead of the typical pointy ones. Feed all plants with a tea of MGOC, mollases, alfalfa meal, and biotone.
