Hey all,
Currently i'm on my first real grow. i have had a few trys before this with some window plants but didnt know anything and they all died in a week or so. So far i have a bad track record haha but i want to keep trying and have been researching day and night with any free time i can get.
Right now I have two seedlings. One is 9 days from sprout today and the smaller one is 3 days from sprout. I had taken previous pics but realized i had my geotagging on so i turned that off and took these pics above. (i hope they are visible in post, i only see urls and stuff)
GROW SETUP: i have a single 26 watt round 2700k CFL kept about 2-3 in from the seedlings in a flexi desk lamp (ghetto i know haha), the box i built has alum foil all around the inside and has a diagonal divider to reduce light spread. i have a regular fan that fits in the box i turn on when i see the leaves start to droop (i assume from humidity) i am using organic choice mg for soil. i have not checked ph of my water yet but i think i will get a tester kit today. as you can probably tell this is def. a low budget grow. please keep this in mind when giving suggestions. i will be buying more lights as i go and even considering going to buy a hps light today if i can find a good price.
PERSONAL WORRIES: 1.Clear cups, bad idea because of roots? i read something like that.
2. Yellowing/Whiteish tips, read this may be normal but im worried its getting too whitish. 3. Probably cant see in pics but i think i see very small white spots here and there on the leaves of my big girl. 4. im pretty sure i need a 5600k light but i couldnt find one at the local store.
Any ideas/feedback would be really appreciates. anything i missed just please ask. i am on here all the time reading grow journals so i will answer pretty quick hopefully. thanks in advanced and happy growing!
