The pictures above are all from the same bag seed. I started germinating the seeds 3-4 days ago, and just got the lights out.
I am using 4 foot Grow-Lux bulbs.
Light Output: 1700 Lumens x 1

hahaitsdoogle, it looks like you have some nice beans growin' there. What's the cotton for? I'm guessing it's for light reflection purposes? Are you having any problems with it wicking moisture out of the soil or retaining moisture around the stems? I've never seen cotton used like that.

I'm looking forward to your updates, and wish you the best with your grow. Growing is quite addictive and is loads of fun! I know you will have a blast.

Well thank you JakezKing, I hope you look forward to seeing more pictures and a few more updates. The cotton was used to refract light and also for filtration purposes with teh water, well water has some rust and believe it or not the cotton filters that out. No Nutes, Nothing but Soil and Light. The guy living behind me has a huge compost pile for the last 10 years so i took a shovel dug into the middle and grabbed some soil, transpl. a few plants that i had in straight soil into the Compost/Soil/Vermiculite mixture, just for a side by side comparision, and i did the same with a few seeds i germed.

As you can see in the first picture the seeds that i let germ, i forgot to put them under the light so they shot straight up, i left them on the far side of the light after watering one night. Also i have been working and hunting and forgot to water!! Im not exactly sure why the rest of the plants are " curling " or yellowing but im sure they will tuff thru it. The light you see inthe back is a SunLamp from the sixities not sure what type of light it is, assuming a mercury vapor lamp, and it produces 450W, with a lot of HEAT. I do not use it where it is sitting, way too close to the plants, the Light emits a VERY BLUE, VERY BLUE light. The Floros i have are 40W - One is a grow-lux one is a standard floro, Today i just added another set of two four foot floros.

Well here are a few more pictures, I have taken a few of the plants that you see, and removed them and the roots. I am looking to transplant a bunch of the ladies into different homes, bigger homes that is. I put a picture into their to show you the SunLamp, as i noticed there wasnt actually one in the last post. I hope that these ladies live and im looking forward to your advice!

Oooh it looks liike their flooding with Trichs already!!! haha!! Thanks for lookin and i cant wait for you too see their progress.

i forgot to add that all of them we not started on the same day, hopefully you could tell but i was just making sure

I think you should be putting that light closer to your plants, they seem to be stretching very tall

lol yes when i put them into the soil i was gone for two days, i accidentally left them on the far side of the light, where the taller plants should have been.. woops! yes, they should do fine still though... ill update in about 10 mins with the transplants! I just did it, maybe sunday ill put pics up to show how well they survived, this is transplant one of two/three for the plants, im pretty sure im doing it right. Pics will follow in 5-10 mins from now.

Heres the new picture

Good luck with your babies man.
And do keep that light as absolutelly close as you can to all of them. You get 4 times as much light by getting to half the distance.

I'll keep checking in for the ride.
