Small Closet Grow; CFL to HPS w/ bagseed
Hi.
I'm going to grow some reef. Again.
I will share the experience with you all, as well as seek advice at times.
Let's get this thing started.
Space: 3'x2'x6.5' (WxDxH)
Lighting: (6) 26w Daylight CFLs Veg; 150W HPS flower
Medium: 65/35 Flushed Potting soil/Perlite mix
Nutes: Fox Farm Advanced; Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom
Strain: BAGSEED!!:stoned:
Germinated in paper towel inside Ziploc bag. 8 days in small styrofoam coffee cups and I gave them each 2oz of 1/8 strength Big Bloom on day 7; day 9 transplanted to 6inch clay planters and watered with just water. Day 11 watered each with 8oz of 1/4 strength Big Bloom (1/2 tbsp/gal). I plan on going straight water next feeding, then 1/4 strength again.
Pic 1: 7 Days since sprout; they all looked the same
Pic 2: 11 days since sprout; 2 days into veg
Any questions and/or comments are very welcome and encouraged.

Day 14... watered with 1/2 strength Grow Big (6-4-4) and full str Big Bloom (0.21-0.07-0.14). Been having pH probems is why they are yellowish; pH of soil was in the upper 5s. If you are having the same problem or wanna see how I fixed it... check out my post on the "Plant Problems" forum.
pH in 7.8 - pH out 6.4-6.2 ----- almost there, shooting for 6.6 at least.

Sorry about that... 1/4 str Grow Big and full str Big Bloom every other watering this week (week 2 veg).
also adding 4-6 drops of pH up/gallon of food this week to bring my soil up.

All 3 have 6-9 roots coming out of the bottoms of the pots. Is this a bad thing or will they naturally stop trying to grow out of the pots? I know light + root = bad. These clay planters have like a 1 inch hole in them. Any thoughts?

Transplant sometime in the next week or two.

I repotted them 4-5 days ago >< ... from very small styrofoam coffee cups to these 6inch planters
I had initially planned on keeping in these clay pots for 3 weeks anyway... i guess I'm right on schedule.

LST'd the tallest one last night. They are doing better than ever. pH is still a little low in the soil. Seems to be sitting about 6.2. Couple of pics.

Just a couple of updates.
I'm going to wait until they get bigger until I tie them anywhere. kinda like Killa does.
