    is this a good setup

    Hi there to all this is my first post on here and i just wanted to ask if this is a good setup with 3 week old plants (sorry about the spelling)

    i have beed reading loads of posts on here and tried to understand what everyone is on about this is
    what i have so far
    3 cfl 25watt 6500k bulbs about an inch above the plants in a triangle configureation
    tent is 2meters long by 1meter wide by 2.5meters high
    2 super skunk seeds which i have germanated and now have planted into soil they have good roots and one went very
    tall and thin replanted that one and is still good other one rooted good and is an inch above soil with first leaves both have first leaves
    i have a heater in the grow room and a old cooker pan in there with water in it steam comes off and a fan blows it around the tent temp is 26-30c and humidity is around 46-50% constant
    ph in water is 5.6 havent checked soil ph yet will get a soil ph tester soon
    i have them on a grate ontop of a water container with 2 air stones running 24/7 which seems to keep the soil moist not soaking

    the one i replanted seems to be a musy pea colour
    and the other one is nice and green
    both have just drpooed their seed husks

    again very new to all this is this a good setup or can i make it better or am i doing it all wrong
    please be geltal with me and try to make any sugestions as simple as possable and explane the complex stuff(something a idot can understand)

    soil, ph should be in the 6.2-6.9 range. I just killed 8 seedlings with 5.8 ph soil. :wtf:

    (adding lime only put them on life-support)

    I have tested my soil by using liquid testers and putting soil in water….I got the same range 3-4 times in a row so I went with it….

    Also read read read about the lighting- if you can add lumens over time it will help alot with your final product, but they are too little right now to throw em to the light!

    You will also want to read about LST'ing - it helps you to keep your plants small and stealth….they will start needing it in a few weeks .. it's easy when they are young- don't be afraid of them…

    And finally one last thing to remember- plants are like babies- they don't like a lot of change all at once, so when you 'tweek' your setup, do it one thing at a time so you know what is working and what is not- no matter how much advice you get here it is really about your relationship with the plants and how you react to them…

    Good Luck and glad you spoke up!
