Mixed Seed Hidden Grow

[Spellshock]

This will be my first serious grow, hopefully to completion. I have done lots of research for this and am hoping to have some returned results in the end :rastasmoke:. This grow is to get away from the need to mess with dealers and have my own stash that I know where and what is in it. Pictured below are my two biggest girls, hopefully. They are about one week old from seed.

The lights are four 150w CFL bulbs suspended from a bar so I can raise/lower as needed (one light is currently off until I buy a bigger power strip). The grow medium is Garden Pro potting soil which is rated .05-.03-.04. I have Perilite to mix in with this potting soil when I go to replant into a larger container.

I will be updating this over the next couple months as long as everything runs smoothly.

These plants were not initially planted with the perilite. Should I replant these plants now in a mixed perilite/soil mix?

I wouldnt right now but you can i would wait till you are ready to transplant them that way you dont couse too much stress which can lead to a whole varity of problems.I would olso change growing mediums.If you can find fox farm's ocean forest mix thatll be good but if you can buy some schultz pro potting mix,dolimite lime,worm castings,perlite. that is the mix im using i was using miracle grow.What ever you do dont buy that shit its no good.Be sure to check the ph of your soil and water that your using on a daily basses:thumbsup:

Day 9

The plants seem to be having a "wilt". I thought this could be due to overwatering, but I have only been water these plants every 2-3 days depending on how dry the soil gets. The seedling "round" leaves seem to be dying off. Attached are pictures of the plants. Any help is appreciated.

These plants also seemed to have stretched as I had the lights too far from the plants in the early few days. Should i replant these two in deeper or let them run the course until I replant in a week or so?

[growin then tokin]

thats what i would suggest, seeing as i just did that to my stretched girls. but an idea im also using is (while there seedlings_ drive a pencil or pen down in there and tie em to it. try and make sure there straight up and bring the light closer. they should be straight so they dont grow bent. unless you want em too i guess i dunno.

[growin then tokin]

oh and i think your underwatering them, i water mine once a day and there effin beautifal

you can add more soil to the "pot" to help support the stem.
You have plenty of space.

Did you move the lights closer?

DAY10

I added extra soil like you said and its looking much more upright today . Also, the lights have been moved to about two inches from the plants tips, with a fan circulating air in the bin. I seemed to have been overwatering and the plants look much more perky today. Here is a quick photo I snapped showing the plants in a much more "upright" position and not as much wilt!

Day 17

I need help. My plant shows sudden signs of sickness and I need to know the best course of action. Refer to the picture below.



There are small red dots on the largest leaves and also the very tips are yellowing and look to be drying out. Help please.
