Day 1 here Day 17 for crop from Germ.

Hello people. #1, I need all the help I can get.

Here's what ive done so far. I have 13 Blue Mystic plants that I started from seed. I used Miracle Grow Potting Soil once the seeds sprouted. They are in 3" Peat Pots right now. Some are 3-5" with approx 6-8 leaves and some are 2-3" with maybe 4 leaves. its about a 50/50 split on sizes. I have them under 3 100W Full Spectrum CFL's (18/6 cycle on a timer). About 1300 lumens each (is this enough?). I bought Schultz Plant Food 8-15-8. It is concentrated liquid. I put the correct amount in a gallon jug that I have dedicated to watering the plants. I am now experiencing "yellowing" on some leaves (help!). Thats about it for now

I am open for any/all suggestions. Dont worry, you've got a better chance of hitting the lottery than offending me.

Happy Growing!

Yellowing usually at tips means over feeding. Schultz is pretty power full stuff.I would only use an 1/8 to a 1/4 of what it says. Most Miracle grow Potting solid has fertilizer in it. Give them 2 weeks before you add nutes your self no matter how big or small they are.

Thanks for the insight. I switched to Fox Farms a week ago. Things are looking up!

Yea definitely stick with the foxfarm nutes if possible. However the MG soil might be a problem down the road, so be cautious of feeding them. I would skip a feeding here and there, just to be safe. MG has some really powerful slow release ferts that will eat up your plants like i've seen it done to others..So be cautious, and stay medicated. On another note, your setup is looking great dude :) I'll be here watching, good luck!

Yes. LOVING the Fox Farm Nutes. Just past week 5 from seed. over 14" now and getting bushy. Went from CFL's to a 400w to a 1000w now. Kickin some serious ass now. Will switch light cycle to 12/12 for flowering next week sometime. I ditched the MG when I transplanted at week 2. Went with a neutral soild w/perlite. Then treated the soild with the FF nutes. Not 1 yellowing leaf on 13 plants. all strong, all bushy, thick barky stems. Pics to follow next week for an update.
