First Time Budget Grow: Soil, Strawberry Cough, Mid Bag Seeds

Got a little grow box started, i thought about using a white trashbag to put inside of it for the reflection and to keep it easy to trow away from the run off water.

So today is day 3 theyve been alive! They were all looking thirsty today so i gave them their first watering!
As of now:
Just peatmoss in the cups, when i transplant them to the 1 gallons i will have a 50/50 mix of peatmoss and perelite.

They are under 4 cfls, 2 5k 24w 1600 lumens and 2 6500 13 w 860 lumens( the only 6500k bulbs anywhere in town )

Right now im currently im watering them with tap water that sat for 24 hours.

Looking good.:thumb:
Just in case, make some extra holes around the bottom part of cup so the extra water realy leave and oxygen will go through to the roots. Also to prevent roots from going bad.

You talking about the original leaves? The ones that doesn't match the others? They will fall off in due time buddy. Don't worry about it.

The set of serrated leaves just look dry and has a little yellow tint i think, may just be the strain

Also not too sure what the white stuff is on the soil. Its kind of fuzzy im really hoping its not mold.

How's the humidity in the box? I would add a fan for airflow and to remove some of the excess humidity.
 
Im not sure i havent got a fan for it yet but i guess that will be next on the grociery list!

Awesome man, just brainstorming with ya! You might want to get a cheap thermometer/hygrometer to keep track of the temperature and humidity too! I was just asking because I know a buddy of mine used a cardboard box for a while to house his babies, and it would get really humid in there-- you could feel the coardboard itself was just slightly damp at times. If that white stuff is mold or bacteria, it'll thrive in a humid area, so my first thought would be to air circulation in there and see if it goes away.

:goodluck:
 
Update day 7

Strawberry1 seems shes going to pull through the leaves just look like theyre falling off and just growing a new set, she is the smallest out of the 5

420-magazine-mobile389252146.jpg

420-magazine-mobile743236495.jpg

Mid2 is growing great!

I have their gallon pots ready for transplant made up with peatmoss and perelite 50/50 could i go ahead and transplant or wait a little? Im a little worried about the roots growing into the styrofoam if that could even happen lol. Also can i get s timer for the lights at lowes or home depot?
