Well, it's now 23 days since our seeds went into soil and after our little problems, the girls appear to be very happy.....making the parents very happy! :jointsmile:

The girls are now about 5" tall and have been returned to the tent now we have some extra lights. Due to restricted finances, it's only a few more CFLs, so we've got the T5s in the middle with the CFLs around about, and move the pots each day so they all get their fair share of good lighting. Certainly have to invest in more T5s for future grows though....but being a first grow, we gotta do the baby steps and learn from each one!

Also finally seem to have the temps and humidity stable....tried different things and then the weather changed to heatwave, so gone from struggling to keep our kiddies warm enough, to worrying it's too hot! A/C isn't really an option - rented house, and way too much hassle to get a system installed (though if we ever win the lottery (haha) then it's an option we would seriously look into!). But with input and extraction fans and little blow fans, things seem to be on an even keel.....temps are now a steady 80*F and humidity at 50-55%. Girls are being watered every 3 days or so, though haven't started nutes yet. Most likely will introduce some weak solution next week....seeing as we're using MG we know to be extra careful with adding nutes, so treating them like proper babies and will progress with the 'solids' a little at a time.

have several pics added to album, so feel free to have a snoop about! Below are a couple of one of the girls.....not sure why she has odd upper leaves....seems to be sprouting normally below though. 2 of the girls have upper leaves like this.....all the others look exactly like the rest in the pics in the album. Have a look and (hopefully) assure me this can be normal lol. The girls that weren't happy previously are growing very nicely and smelling very sweet :hippy:

So, next stage will be nutes and then onto the HID lighting.......getting a little impatient for them to reach the suggested 10" though lol. We've been discussing light cycles.....some folks say to start on 18/6 while others swear by 12/12......what do you guys favor and why?

Off to catch up on some logs and Q+As now......peaceful smoking! :stoned:
