5 days old

Hey,

So I am new to this.. my brain absorbed as much info as possible. Here is my setup:

- 7x CFL 23w 6500K (each is equivalent to 100W);
- 1x CFL 40w 2700K (equivalent to 150W);

I made a reflector shield using an old furnace pipe, and it reflects very well. My plan is to add 2 more 23w 6500K and 1 more 40w 2700K tomorrow, as well as to wrap one of those emergency blankets over top to reflect as much light as possible. I will keep this until the flowering stage starts, then I will switch to 8 2700K and 3 6500K CFLs.

I also have a fan running on low in the background, for some air flow. It also spreads the heat a bit, which is a nice 20 Celsius.

For soil, I used Cactus soil and mixed it with some fine Akadama (from my bonsai project). The PH is a nice 6.8.

Take a look at the pictures, one is a close up of one of my 5 plants, 5 days old, the other one shows the setup sort of. It looks kind of dark, but it is so light I have to keep my eyes half closed.

Cheers, and thanks for all the info on this forum! I would appreciate some tips or constructive feedback!

I'll follow your journal, too. Mine are 17 days old now, and after an accidental dosage of fertilizer (left over in watering can), I replaced the soil. They are starting to come back now.

I will post some pictures tomorrow

 

Here is a picture of the two babies. Note the bottom leafs are burned due to the left over fertilizer in the watering can.

Plants are 24/7 under 7x 6500K 23w, as I removed the 2700K for now. Humidity is 40-45% and temperature is constant 21C.

I am debating if I should go to 18/6 or not...

 

they are 18 days old... no bagseeds though. I removed the 2700k 50w CFL due to the additional heat it was giving off..
