New Grower, Cfl, Closet Cab, BagSeed

[Knee Deep]

Well i thought i would share my progress, hoping to get any input that could help better my grow. Right now i have a cab inside of a closet, growing three babies, who are 3 weeks old today.
Supplies: 14 cfl between 300k-6500k some are 23 watt some are 26 watt.
generic potting soil, perlite, vermiculite, mgap 24-8-16, a lil h202, and epsom salts. Mylar, flat white paint, cardboard, 2-3 gallon pots, 2 4in fans, 1 12 in fan. and a 5 dollar ph test strips, and some spring water with a ph of 6.4, and of course i am now a member of the banana religion, which i learned of on another site.

I germinated 6 seeds, kept the best 4, and now have kept the best 3 babes. Started them in dixie cups and transplanted after 1 week, due to compacted soil. I have had no real problems thus far, except shorting is having a very slight tacoing on a couple of leafs. Cant figure out whats causing it though.

i have a bunch of pics at 3 weeks, let me see if can figure out how to post them...enjoy!!!




















first 3 plant pics are my girl "hopefully" named shorty
the next plant closeups are of my taller hopefully girl named "Taller Girl"
.

Anyone know what could be causing the slight taco in shorty?
do they look healthy for 3 weeks?
any and all input appreciated, later.

thanks J, yeh i learned about the nanners over on gardens cure. Ive had them in there since day 11, just 2 though, im leaving the lst one without a nanner as to see if it goes male.

welp im bored so i snapped a couple more pics in the shade right after watering/misting

enjoy!











Man oh man, im having way to much fun with this grow, i dont think ill ever stop, and this is just bagseed.

P.s. I will start 12/12 on aug 11. I would like to start it earlier but im going camping on the the 8th and figure it would be better to start when i can be there in case the timer doesnt work etc...

welp im off, ill update in a few days once new growth is noticable and/or any problems arise. So far i must say, i was worried cfls werent going to cut it, but im really happy with the results thus far, mainly because i dont have to worry about temps hardly at all.

If you looked closely at the circled regions on this leaf, you will see a slight yellow/light greening occurring right beside the vein, its only present on a couple leaves and i only notice it under a magnifying glass, but it seems sorta splotchy and random in its showing, anyone fill me in on what this would be a sign of? I just fed them on wed its now fri 4:00 pm, and watered lightly with distilled water today. any advice, or am i just paranoid????? later, oh i forgot to mention, i have searched for bugs, with and without a mag glass, and i havent found any traces at all. and i did touch them without washing my hands yesterday.

yes a green banana is best, the purpose is as the fruit ripens it releases ethylene gas, which promotes feminine traits in plants. So if you get green bananas and let them stay until there browning your getting the most ethylene, theoretically of course....peace!
