Newbie with first CFL grow

[Modest Grower]

Cool grow!

And this is new to me. I would use CFL for seedlings.

Do CFLs have the right spectrum?

How do we go 3 weeks in peat without nutrients?

Just curious and trying to learn something new

Cfls come in a wide variety of spectrum. From 2700 to 6500K. I used to use them. Fantastic for veg. I could never get dense buds but I also only grew bagseed and my understanding of nutrients was pretty limited. I loved how you could place them anywhere light needed to be.

Cool be nice to have lots of input, i have just been using tap water ph down to 6-6.5 have noticed a bit of slowed growth since the transplant but i think its just shock. I am curious as to how much they have grown since i been out? I will be posting pics tomorrow hopefully and probably be starting with my nutes she will be thirsty nothing for a few days.

Hey everyone back to report the plants are doing great gave first feeding of nutes tonight. Had one fan quit over the weekend so got a little warm was 87 in the tent when i opened it up also transplanted the other two for the wife. The strawberry cbd came back from pretty much dead. Not sure if the green crack is starting to show signs of the sex or just more of the branches or not. Here is some more pics see what you all think i also threw in a pic of the roots on the blueberry just so guys can see what is going on there to.

Ok guys i am kinda confused here with pro mix hp high porosity with mycorrhizae. Is this a soilless media? If so i am growing way wrong including wrong pots and would this explain my new issues. Started beginning of the week and has got worse. I know what your thinking ( stupid newbie ) lol

I think with pro mix you water at 5.8 but I’ve never used it. Let’s see if others chime in

I tested my run off ph to 6.3 was coming out at 5.8
