Good morning Norris,
you mentioned on another post when to go to veg. Plants start the veg state after breaking the soil and most people run their lights 18/6. I've heard others run them 24/0 but not sure what the advantage is. This is a snippet from RQS:

'Putting a plant through pregrowth means that we will keep the plants in their growth (also known as 'veg') period for between one day and several weeks, and we do this by putting the lamp timer on 18/6. This means 18 light and 6 hours night/sleep for the plants. The plant is now equipped to take advantage of the light in full and begin to develop in breadth and height.'

I hope that sheds a bit of light on the veg stage.

I ran the lights on my seedlings for 4 days by mistake once. Forget to switch the timer to timer and they never go off. But 18/6 is kind of the norm.

Cheers peeps. I'm going to replace the foil with something less conductive! Thinking just plain old white plastic sheeting will do. Thanks the advice fellas

 

[CanaGrow]

Yeah white poly reflects nice and its safer

Cheers brother. Got a time to yesterday so I'll change them to an 18/6 tomorrow. Thanks

So I've swapped out the tin foil for white poly and it's looking nice. Doesn't appear as intense inside the box, no glare and a bit safer too probably. She's really starting to take off now I'll up load some pictures after work. Cheers for the tips

It's all about helping each other out! Small upgrades that are cheap and easy are always welcome

 

[Norris flake]

They are most welcome indeed. Here's the Little one, 12 days old now. How's she looking? The leaves don't appear to Be typical cannabis leaves though?

 

[Mr. Magoo]

They look good to me! Next node will probably have 5 fingers. And they will vary in width depending on strain and genetics.

Thanks. It looks healthy and it's getting new growth hourly it seems now. Should I give it more light or leave under the 2 40w ones it's under now?

 

[Mr. Magoo]

Why’s the next step up in lighting for you?

Well I have 4 more 28w cfl bulbs to be turned on, I was thinking of adding more as they are so cheap.

Ima chill here with @Pennywise
As my guy said any half decent nute line up will have all you need. Maybe a bottle of calmag wouldnt go a miss as a extra. But yer also as he said the biggest factors are your environment and lighting looks like you got ya environment locked though.
As @MrSauga also touched on Id yank that tin foil out and invest in some mylar or if not just flat white paint will do the trick.
Blessings!

 

[Pennywise]

Yes anything except tin foil, it will create hot spots that burn the plants.
