Lemon Skunk and Kushberry Grow progress!!

[mrbigair600]

Okay so far these babies are turning out very good from the get go. Week one of veg is over. I am happy with how well they have taken to the new T5badboy in just one week see the results! They stretched a little while I was waiting for my T5 to get in due to crappy little CFLs I had for seedlings. This next week will be amazing. My setup for the veg room as follows:

Seeds - Golden State Seed Company Lemon Skunkx6 and Kushberryx6
Lighting - 18/6 schedule Quantum badboy T5 four bulb setup, using sylvania 9600lumen bulbs = nearly 40k lumens. Keeping the tops of the babies 3-4" from the tubes
Soil - CoCo with pearlite, germinated with rapid rooters then xplanted into 4x4x4" cocotek cubes, now in the 1gal pots with CoCo blend
Nutrient - Cutting edge solutions

Any input appreciated!

Looks like they are pretty stretched out to me... may need some more light.

Nice light, let us know how it works for you. I use something similar and get great veg results. Are you using the blue bulbs, if not you should. Your seedlings are stretched a bit but should catch up to themselves with your new light set up. You can get your babies pretty close to these lights without burning them, 2 inches.

Yeah they stretched just a tad but they are already compensating for that with the new light. I pulled the lights up a bit from 2" to 4" they were slightly light bleaching. So far the light works amazing its doing a great job I can notice day by day diffences more now than before..

Good to hear. I got 8 kids goin myself right now, bout an inch tall right now... veggin em indoors and movin em outside later on when the ground thaws completely. keep us updated

Nice, thats what I wanted to do but the only reason I dont do much outdoor anymore is cause theres always one animal thats gotta jack my babies. Last year it looked like a bird got mauled in my Blue Cheese, feathers everywhere! Im going to post pics every friday to show how well this Quantum fixture rocks.

Running a little late on the update. Just ran out of space on the shelf I had, went to Home Depot and upgraded to a nicer all metal rack, more space to stretch. Week three is like a thunder storm nodes spacing almost under one inch, nice new healthy growth this Quantum fixture is doing very well, power bill has not increased much running 18/6
