First time Closet Grow, need advice

[gabec803]

Have 3 CFL's on 24/7 on 3 plants.

Two 5000k's and a 3500k.

2 have sprouted and look pretty good so far.






The last didn't sprout at all so i dug gently and there was a medium sized piece of w/e comes in that soil right on top of it so i cleared it and i'm going to give it a few days to see if it grows healthy or not. no pics.


I see pretty decent growth i think. within a 5 hour time period i noticed a decent size difference in the two that have sprouted. They've been in soil since monday.

My question is at what point should I move them to 18/6 or 16/8? And when should i need to start fertilzing them? or do they go hand in hand?




btw sry i didn't see the closet forum, can someone move it for me? thanks

changed the plant from the first pic to the same size pot as the 2nd pic since the third plant was very unhealthy and i just decided to trash it.

Plant growth seems to be very nice, everytime i go and check on them i see a size difference which is encouraging.

Will continue doing more of the same but the question still looms, when should i start putting fertlizer in them?

I have read that no ferts are needed for the first 30 days, but im thinking if you use a weak solution, after at least 3 weeks you could add some, but not everyday.

good luck:rasta:

seems like a tip or two of the leafs are turning upward



this is a result in too much heat correct? or does is it look natural?

Look ok to me gabe:thumbsup:. But if i were you i wouldn't water for awhile. Looks sorta wet and you want the roots to get air. I like to keep my plants more on the dry side and just water as needed. But, they look nice so far. If you post your pic's right on here and makes for easy viewing.

Good luck:rasta:

Key word here almost''. Dont let them get bone dry till they are a bit older, then you will see a big difference. Sometimes if the leaves are a bit droopy, after you water, you can watch the leaves perk right up
