So u are using voodoo juice, I read about it. Sounds like a fine product. i would brew in a tea probably with an airstone. So u are adding a microbial gardening team to your container, that's good, but then are u going to pour nutes and tap water into your container and kill off these microbes you payed good money for? It is important to know what the micro life likes. They like pure water and lots of organic matter to eat (and feed your plants). They don't like chelated synthetic salts. There are swindlers out there marketing organic based nutes. Crock of shit. It is either ALL natural or not, organic BASED means its bad. A scam. Think in terms of food service; can u have a vegan BASED soup? Start with all veggie products and just throw in one small meat product at the end? Nope. Now u have a NON vegan dish. Look into FF tiger bloom for example, read the label and google the stuff. Can it be OMRI certified? Now I don't know if u are even Intending to do an organic grow?( u should )

What kind of dirt are you using? What nutes?

Hope this stirs up some thought...

Also my friend, not to be a downer... But...
U gotta lose the tinfoil, and u need some more light!!!!!!
It's very early in your grow! U can still crush it. Make sure u have good air exchange in there. One computer fan for exhaust will do ya, cheap. Use passive intake, pulling air is efficient and effective for a small cabinet grow.

How this helps ya!

Are you suggesting I brew tea then mix it with the voodoo
Nutrients right now I'm just using the voodoo juice
I would loose the ton foil but I'm afraid that if I do then as little reflectivity it's doing
That it will all be lost....I'm planning on doing it all organic, I'm using
Basic organic mix

The tin foil will burn your plants like an oven. Spray white paint inside or hang Mylar or panda cloth.

What kind of h2O u using? What is in your "basic organic mix"?

Then ill tell ya about teas...

Hey man, listen to Captain if you want your plants to continue to prosper! Investing in some very minor yet important upgrades will help you, I know from first hand experience! First should be your reflectivity. Think about plants in a garden - without bright SUN, they will die. This is the same as those 2 CFL's in your cabinet, they represent the sun. If you install proper reflective material, it will almost mimic full sun on your plants. Older posts on this site state that Panda is the most effective/reflective (HA it rhymes) material for you. I have found this to be true - at only $1 per 1'x10' spans! For your small cabinet (like mine), it will cost you less than $20 to make the light vastly more effective - definitely worth it!

Make sure to list your supplies - soil, water type, ANY other useful info that can help the knowledgable, experienced growers on this forum help you out in any ways possible!

What about if I have a mirror in there so it can be used instead of the tin foil

[d00g]

I have read that mirrors don't reflect the light correctly for plants. I'd really just grab some mylar or Panda if you're able.
