For soil im using some silt from a creek behind my house because I thought it would be good and rich in nutrients, but I think its too compact and one of the problems
the smorning thou I checked on them and when I came back 8 hrs latter I checked again and my sweet tooth looked like this

I think its either bc they didn't get enough water (it seemed to be draining down the sides) but I fixed that or they where too close to the light so I took them off the stand

for lighting im using 6:23 watt:1500 Lumen Light bulbs for a total of 9000 lumens (Lights closer then in picture there attached to roof(lid) of my grow area
