First CFL grow...pics inside, advise please
So far I see two mistakes that are going to cause you problems.
1: If your keeping the door closed then i would suggest cutting some kind of hole in the box to allow air to vent out ward. Opening and closing the door gets tiring trust me on this.
2: When filling pots with grow medium always fill 1in. from the rim. Other wise thats a dead space where mold loves to grow.
---About watering-----
This goes for transplanting and first watering.
-Soak the soil untill some water drains out the bottom of the pot.
(if you are doing a flush your looking to put in 10% more H2O than the size of the pot)
As for a beginning watering schedule goes. Use your sense of touch, feel how heavy the pots are when they are thoroughly watered, then check them when their dry. Much lighter, yea? A combination of seeing how dry the top soil looks and how heavy the pots are is a good way to gauge when they need some drink. It's ok for the plants to dry out a bit before re-watering them, this takes some time to getting to know the plants schedule. But once you do you'll be like today they will need water, you just know it.
---------------
As far as light schedule goes follow this:
seedling: 20/4 (Thats 20 on 4 off)
veg: 18/6
Flower: 12/12
---------------
Your soil choice will work, although may not be the best. Next time if your going to have to use MG( no other available products) try peat moss mixed with pearlite.
As far as pearlite to soil ratio goes.....
- for every: 5 SOLOcups of grow medium
1 SOLOcup of pearlite.
If it doesn't seem to be enough pearlite throw in a couple handfulls till there is a nice pepper with some salt looking mixture in there.
Best of luck and happy growing.
