Well hello all. I've been interested in this for a long time now, but only recently decided to move forward. I picked up a decent 2 drawer file cabinet at a local store($15). I stripped it out and hung a 4 way light fixture ($2). I'm using two 2700 and two 6500 CFL bulbs. I started with 4 2700s, last night I swapped in the two 6500s. I've drilled exhaust holes in the back corner and positioned the fan to blow out. I'll replace this with a small duct and carbon filter soon. (should have a few weeks before any smells become apparent). I would also like to line the inside, but I haven't found anything cheap.
In the pictures you can see the 4 babies I've got started. They were all germ'ed at the same time and sprouted the same day. I planted them in a Jiffy greenhouse with some other herbs (for cooking). The day after I moved the jiffy pod "thingy" into the pot its in now; the smaller one's leaf tips turned yellow. I didn't think surrounding the existing starting soil in organic dirt would shock the plant to cause this. I've read that over watering as well as under-watering can have this yellowing effect as well. I've watered them every other day, with what seems like an appropriate amount. Although I'm not sure I would know what that amount is. I do not have a green thumb by any means and fully expect to kill these little girls trying to learn... any help to prevent this would be greatly appreciated!
I realize my grow space is... tiny. Would I get better yield from growing/training/topping/whatnot a single plant or multiple?
If I can change a thumb from black to green, I may be willing to expand to a larger space. But for now, I'm sticking with this.
