Two from left in lower row are healthy mango kush seedlings 2 are not developed yet. . Rest 2 are from bagseeds

Hey guys,
I am a first time cannabis grower. I have prepared a grow box (2ft×1.5ft×5ft) out of corrugated cardboard box for my first grow session. I have germinated 5 mango kush seeds, out of which 4 successfully germinated. Two of them still have their cotyledons stuck together. My seeslings are 5 days old. Using 50W×3 6500K Led bulbs installed above 1 ft of my seedling. The LUX of the grow area is 30k. I am growing in soil and haven't used any nutes till now. My grow has no inlet and exhaust fan till now. Temperature here is 22℃ at afternoon and 16℃ at night. What modifications should I make. Am I going good till now?

Welcome to 420 Mag. The lights you are using are only good for germination. You won't grow a very big plant & it won't be enough light to flower with.
I'm in the process of doing a Grow Journal for beginners in case you want to check it out. There's tons of info & more coming.
At minimum you should buy 1 or 2 Emergency Mylar Blankets & line the inside of the box with it to reflect more light.
They are cheap & Wally World has them.
The link to my journal is below the post.
 
This box is kind of a supplemental resource box. I usually put them outside in direct sunlight for around 9 hours and then 9 hours in this box. I am planning to continue doing the same because I lack proper resources now plus I am staying with my parents here. Forcefully growing two plants, can't make it look like some high end grow swtup. Will it work? I can add 250W more to my lightning setup.

Welcome to :420:

You've got some highly experienced growers helping you out, I just wanted to welcome you and give you a grow journal to take a read. Kinda similar setup, so might be worth your time.

Hey MM,

Welcome to 420... I would say improve your soil mix by adding perlite for aeration.

Also.... low budget is cool, but cheap is not. Be careful adding more lighting wattage to cardboard - wattage means heat, cardboard is made from milled wood pulp. Therefore we are arriving at the conclusion of.... heat and paper don’t mix well. As I said low budget is cool just don't burn the house down

best of luck to you!

now pass that doobie as we conclude today’s safety meeting
