Hey. This will be my 2nd grow log here, 4th go around with parenthood :thumbsup:

I'm actually on day 2 with my batch of 6. Adding a 7th on day 3, that one's in incubation right now.

2 kids are already working on their 1st set of nodes. 1 is showing off its cots, 1 has just broken its shell and surfaced. However its a little lime green at the moment, I'm concerned about any stress it might be undergoing, time will tell. The other 2 are still on their way to surface. Number 7 is in isolation working with natural day light, I wanna make sure this one is set and ready before I add to the group.

The group's under 78w CFL:
(1) 42w Warm CFL
(2) 13w Warm CFL
(1) 10w Daylight Spectrum CFL

The 3 weak lights will be replaced with more 42w CFLs, and much more will be added in time. The kids are being supplimented with daylight as well. I'm looking to make sure they healthy and ready for more intense light and transplanting. As well I'm working on my budget, but in time I expect to have a growbin set and secured with an adjustable light rig, filtered ventilation and so forth.

I noticed some initial stretching with the 2 bigger ones. This was prior to using the CFLs, just one day of regular sunlight. Currently the CFLs are half a foot over the group. I'll add some dull aluminum foil to the area to maximize light intensity. This should help some, but I expect the hotspots won't come, if not as harsh, if I keep the distance, hoping the intensity will disipate or distribute a little more evenly. Time will tell!

I don't find it picture worthy yet, but I am cataloging the changes. I'll photograph their status tomorrow, after their first encounter with indoor lighting.
