your gunna want to bump up the lighting though, any longer and youll notice stretching and your seeds will become very lanky. I would opt for a 6400K or 6500k bulb, it emits more blue light which is more beneficial during the vegetative phase. Plants need the blue light in order to stay short, stocky, and bushy.
i really get confused on how some people get away with running drippers 24/7 cuz thats what i've been doing for the past week..but i get the same feedback almost every time that its bad cuz of the RW. i just got an air pump in the mail and tomorrow i'm getting an air stone. will that help in oxygenating the roots and prevent drowning?

i'm waiting on these seedlings to get a bit bigger til i transplant to the same setup, then i'll do 20/3 for a week, 20/4 a week after etc. so the plants will adjust slowly. i'm back on cfl, just using the florescent for the seedlings. whats ideal wattage for cfl's cuz the 2 bulbs i got are 20w but 2500 lumens? i'm really trying to stick with cfl's i know i may need quite a few but hey it's how i roll lol.


heres what the first born is lookin like sorry about the pic quality its a fone, parents using the card adaptor i'll get a nice pic tomorrow tho. i'm hitting the hydro store tomorrow first thing to pickup some calmag to try and fix the tip-browning problem..i have a feeling its being caused by the water...but the water in the system now was left in 1gal water jugs for a few days before i started the dripper system.


i'll keep the status posted, thanks to everyone for they're feedback again!
