I plan on cutting that down to 3 plants and transplanting them into 3 gallon super root air pots. I have four 45 watt cfls(5600k) and two 15 watt 'pot wizard' LED lights. I am using happy frog soil mixed with about 25 percent perlite in my starter pots. I am using distilled water but no nutrients yet. I have the fox farm trio of nutes but don't plan on using any until my 3rd week. I have a heater in the closet and am keeping it between 70 and 80. My humidity is around 25%. I also have a fan blowing at all times. My light sched is 18 6. Please take a look at my set up and give me some expert advice. Thanks all.

I use the FF Happy frog myself and have done so a long time. The soil is hot enough to pretty much take them through to transplant and once in bigger pots they will not require feeding for 2-3 weeks at least. When you do start feeding begin at 1/4 strength and up it by 1/4 every other feeding to finishing. Your rh is low for seedlings see if you can up it to at least 40%

Good Luck and Great Growing

I just started grpwing my self and I am doing my due diligence...I have noticed that we can't wait for the plants to grow ..my rh is 25 too and I guess a humidifier is required...I think we have to remember that we are trying so hard to give optimal growing conditions that sometimes we tend to overdue it...my plants are about 6 inches high and I just gave them a dose of nutrient and water...now I am waiting for explosive growth or a massive fuck up. ..I can only say from my limited experience not to overdue it...good luck...

image.jpg When I say Just started.. 2nd year... 5gal buckets Started with cfls with Clap lamp with reflector. Outdoor/Windows in house moving with sun. Lesson learned Cfls will damage your Clamp Refectors with heat maybe catch fire. This year small tent 450 watt king led Amazon... Led does great for grow (Atleast my model) Cheap China crap King led bit the dust today After 4 months.. Now trying to find a good Made in the USA LED veg to bloom switch.With warranty.... Switching to led has saved a lot of dollars. Smart pots WOW they work great I'm useing 3 gal... Great investment... For Blomming right now 400 watt hps Power bill is up... Sunshine advance mix#4 best so far. General Hydronics FloraMicro- Flora grow and bloom.. Ok pics coming..... Back right 2 seeds... Rest left over trim made clones.... Hey Man what's the item number for main cord to sockets looks familiar image.jpg image.jpg

Shouldn't be long before yiu can put them to flower ...a different lite spectrum and the 12 12 hour cycle...good luck...I wouldn't go too crazy first time around ...be careful what you do ..I would put them to a different lite in a few weeks and let them go into flower

These gurlz are 17 days old...the grower asked when he should top them not flower. Anyway, to the OP I have 2 gurlz now that I topped at 6 days and they are looking great. So, top at your discretion...it is your grow
