1st grow

[t3hn00b137]

I started this crop jan. 2nd with bag seed. I really did not even expect the seeds to germinate and am really surprised that the plants have made it so far.

The bulbs are 125w cfl's.
I have a few pictures of what I have thrown together with a few things I already had. Just remember it is a work in progress.





Let me know what you think.

are the bulbs 125w or equivalent?
if they are equivalent then you are gonna want to find more pronto or you are gonna experience a bad stretch.. kinda like they are right now..
looking fine for a few days old though..
also i would really advise you to find somewhere other than your bathroom to grow in.. what if a friend dropped by and saw your lil garden (you dont want ppl to know about what you do btw)?? and you should also try to get the rest of the babes under direct light not off to the side.. stretch again..
and one more thing.. CFL's are only good to about 2-3" not ~a foot..
just my :twocents:
have fun and feel free to ask any questions cause that is what we are here for.. :greenthumb:

I had just put them into the cups 20 mins before taking the pics and had the lights raised because I was noticing burns on the lil leaves. I added a fan, dropped the lights and re-adjusted the plants.

I do have a concern here though. I grew my plants in a mini green house with the peat pods and some of the tap roots grew through the mesh on the outside of the pod. When I tried to remove the mesh, so I wouldnt cramp the roots, I managed to break the tip off of the tap root on 3 of the plants. Will this result in anything dieing or will it just slow the growth or something of that sort?

That bathroom is secure so I don't have to worry about any intrusion.

Here are a couple more pics. They all seem to be doing okay on day 11. Let me know what you think.



P.S. Is there a way I can get this thread moved to the 'growers log' section by chance?

I plan on picking up a few splitters for my lights asap. I'll post a few pics once I get the new lights up and see what you guys think.

Thanks for the input mainegrow! How do I give you props? Sorry, rather new here and have no idea whats going on. imp:

I've been on here for a few months and don't knonw how to give props either so if someone could chime in that would be great haha.

Plants look good. What type of soil are you using and do you plan on using some nutes?

[t3hn00b137]

I am using regular organic soil from the local nursery. I really hadnt thought about using nutes... To be honest I really don't know anything about them or how to use them, but i'll look around and see though.

Here are updated pictures with some extra lighting about 2in away from the plants.

Do you have any air flowing through there? Are you at all concerned about smell when you have 10+ plants flowering or are you planning on weeding most of them out?
