1st Closet grow!

[jonathanling]

Hey dudes, i've got a mini plant growing in my closet growbox. (Mazar -50/50)
It's been 3 days since the seed germinated and i'm pretty psyched about it

The 1st leaf has come out and it's finally shot out of the soil. It's been growing exceptionally good!
I'm using 4 23watt CFL's, keeping the temperature at about 76 with the lights going 24/7 at the moment.
I'm going to put it on 18/6 when it hits 2 weeks, and once it flowers, i'm going to add the 5th 23watt CFL making the flowering better.
I've put dryer sheets in the growbox to make it less moist/kill smell.

Here are some pics

"...once it flowers..."

do you mean, "when i decide to flower the plant, i'll add another CFL?"

in my opinion, and probably many others, switching from 24/0 to 18/6 is worthless and unnecessary. i guess if you've run into power consumption issues, maybe. but 4 (or even 5) CFLs aren't costing you much to run, even 24 hours a day. if perhaps you are confused, your plant WILL NOT FLOWER under 18/6 lighting.

oh, and also - your soil looks like it has poor drainage. i'm a hydro guy myself but just my two cents.

and check the color temp on your cfl's. you need two different sets of cfl's, one for veg, and one for flower. your cfl's look like they might be the 2700-3000k. these are ok for flower but not veg. however if they are don't stress yet, they'll be ok for a couple of days till you can get some. here's a link to a sweet thread that tells all about lights(simple enough for me to understand, lol).

Jonathan has weed, wether you get to finish it or not is up to you. Mazar, thats an interesting smoke, I personally thought it was a smooth smoke with a taste of lemon and blueberry hints. Gotta be the clearest head smoke I ever had, tends to grow pretty fast too, but when your waiting for it to finish it seems like death is near, and you wanna pick it ever chance you get, lol.

ok thanks for the support.

I have made a vent system where the humidity can stay low and make the plant dry up quicker. And yes i'm adding the 5th light once i decide the flower (4-5th week).

I also hear about people saying others plants are stretching. I just want to know how do you classify stretched.
Here's my plant: [attachment=o216233]

Is she stretching?

It's been 2 days after the 1st picture and my plant's been doing good.
keep yall updated!

you look ok right now, just keep your light as close as possible, 2-3 in. you'll know they're are stretched when they look skinny and top heavy, like they could just fall over.

a couple of things...

do you have 2 plants growing there in the same pot? thats not a good idea as the roots from both plants will get tangled together and they will compete with one another causing one to have stunted growth... also if you discover one is a male down the road it will be impossible to pull out its roots without killing the other one... and if you just cut it down and leave the roots, the roots will rot and possibly kill the other one.

other thing is that you have your seedlings in a rather large pot for the size of them, if you put them in really large pots off the bat the roots will stretch out early on and not fill the pot properly which will make them much less effecient... theres a threard in one of the forums thats a really good overview about transplanting and why its important, but i can;t find it at the moment

hey thanks for the support.
I removed the 1st seed away from the pot so it's 1 seed to each pot. and i cant really do much about the plant being in too big of a pot since it's growing big already.
