My first grow 150W CFL any advice

Mongbrain0406 · Jan 22, 2020

Hello all I’m currently doing my first grow with a bag seed I gave some good seeds like gorilla glue and strawberry kush but I want to trial and error and try and get a decent plant growing before I mess up with the good seeds ! Was pre unsure about nutes I’m using coco peat and perlite for soil and ag grow -grow part a and part b I was told to give it nutes as soon as it pops up and shows it’s first little serrated leaves so the recommended half strength of nutes was 2.5 ml of part a and 2.5 ml part b per litre I just mixed 1ml of each into two litres but I’m a lil worried I may have stunted it’s growth I will attach a pic of the seedling at 7 days old and the at 14 days old (today) can anybody let me know if it’s looking okay ?

Looks fine right now. Be careful with the nutes. It doesn't need much right now.
I'd be more preoccupied with your lighting

Okay thanks I’ll add a pic of my setup it’s just a cupboard with a 150 w cfl with ballast and a small fan inside I’m waiting for my grow tent to arrive next week then I will add proper ventilation but for now here’s my ghetto setup do you think the light should be further away or closer?

I also have a 600w HPS light is it possible to veg my plant under my cfl (I know 150w cfl is only enough light for one good plant) and then switch to hps when flowering ? Has anybody had experience with this ? And if so what was you yeild like
