Thanks lime!! It's a good thing I got the fan to work again (with just a little bit of noise lol) cause with all those bulbs now it's gettin hot in there. About 98* without the fan!
Belle is already lovin the new setup and is not longer as crazy looking as she was before. Tiana still has her leaves pointed straight up in the air for some reason, soon she should spread back out now that the light is around her and not on top of her.

After a night of taking some bunk acid and not frying at all I decided to call and see if any of the stores I went to the other day were open.
Well one store was luckily open today so I got a bag of Fox Farm Happy Frog and some new pots. I'm really interested in using GH Floral 3 part nutes and this store unfortunantly didn't have any of this. It's amazing how much better this soil looks, feels, and even smells!! I bet my girls love this stuff!!
I replanted them all and gave them all a little (but not much) watering. All three plants were starting to look kind of "sad" in their old homes so hopefully this new soil will boost their spirits up some. I think I may just order my nutes online rather than try to find a place open that sells the stuff local. Anyway, here's the pics

Tiana is the one who has had her leaves straight up in the air for a few days now, maybe this will help her settle down. I bet once I get some nutes into their systems they thank me for it

loving the DIY reflector, mine is going to be made soon and im using the same idea, throw away pan for the win
they are looking good when you plan on starting nutes?

i really think that they are good for nutes, the MG soil and now the FF soil you have them in should be plenty to keep them thriving for a few weeks.I bet once I get some nutes into their systems they thank me for it
the leaf curl is something else, maybe heat? how close is hood and whats temp inside it? your temp gauge is on table so its not reading how warm the tops of the plants are, maybe set it in the bucket to get a more acccurate reading.
also of you can get your hands on a big piece of white paper for a tablecloth (dont hunt it down) you will get reflection and table protection all in one

i mentioned heat awhile back and that lights are to close, for his plants, being seedlings still, even though they are cfl's...too many too close, I would back off a few more inches .
also hang thermo at level with plants then you will see the temp the plants are directly under...bet its hot! lol
no nutes for awhile yet.

Well apparently I don't take hits too well. I already put the themp gauge in on the top of the soil in the middle plant, it's reading 93*
I'm going to raise the lights up a hanger to get the heat down. This won't promote TOO much stretching will it?
And I'm gonna wait at least 3 weeks before adding any nutes. What will be the signs that it's time to start using them?

I've wondered just exactly how much of a differance using more reflection (ie. white paper on the table like my last grow, or even some mylar) would make.also of you can get your hands on a big piece of white paper for a tablecloth (dont hunt it down) you will get reflection and table protection all in one

really probally not that much, thats why i said dont go hunt it down. BUT it would provide protection for your tables and reflect a bit of light, really the big catch it the protection for the tables. them dont seem like billion dollar furniture but still nice to keep shit in good shape and a lil dirt under a pot as you slide it will sand the poly off them

no you shouldnt stretch, although raising 1 hanger is what 4 inch? might stretch a bit but let them in my opinion
light green leaves is a sign of deficiency, there are too many to explain, just keep an eye and when shit starts to change add some nutes or post and ask for advice and we will tell you to add some nutes
. i really think you got 4-5 weeks before you will have to add anything with the nice organic ferts you are using, they are time release as well just in a different way than the MG nutes.
my next grow i may go 100% organic, not because im a organic nut but because i think the plants thrive better on organics rather than chemical fertilizers
