UPDATE: This is day 7ish... The second set of leaves have gotten much bigger!!! (BTW- they were JUST watered) Loving the way these little ladies are growing. Haven't started the White Widow seeds yet... I want to make sure I have a better set up going for those special ladies.

Now in about 3 weeks when I plan to start using nutes... well, I really don't know where to start as far as nutes go. I am considering using the Fox Farm line up, just because I know it is formulated for their soil to begin with... but I am ready, and open to suggestion... Would love to hear what yal think. Thanks!!!

Looks good, no stretching, which means they got enough light. I use Bio Bizz, organic, and you can use a 0.5 stregth mix for soil, and full strength for hydro. Worth getting if you plan to switch to hydro after this grow, which is what i'm doing. My seeds in soil now, 7 days behind you! :)

well if you can get them to thrive, you shoul be in for one hell of a treat I would think. make sure your soil has the ability to dry o.k.. One of the problems with the cfl bulbs is that they do not throw out enough heat by themselves if your room is not up to at least 75 degrees your soil will have a hard time dring out thus giving you junk roots which will prevent the plant from growing at it's fullest.

Another way to prevent too much water in the soil that does not dry fast enough is to water lightly.

Now that is a bit of knowledge you as a new grower have just learnt. some never learn that.

This is my first grow and I could use some help, I'm doing AKR autoflo's and I've turned an old entertainment center into a mylar mecca lol! Ok so, I'm raising just 2 for now and will increase as my experience does the same...3 100 watt 6500k cfl's, 1 humidifier, 1 portable heater, 1 ceiling fan, 1 standing fan, 1 temp humi gauge and were off...I'm using my mix in one 5" pot and pro mix/ my mix in another...I conditioned my soil for weeks before germination adding each organic ingredient week after week and you will see the difference....any advice will be greatly appreciated...I've done tons of homework and now I'm putting it to work...my temp never moves from 75-78 deg and humi 38-46% 24/7 I have my window covered but open sucking in fresh air all day with the heater running all day set at 80 deg so the box never goes over 79 deg...all criticism is greatly appreciated!:wall: that's too funny...

I am no expert as far as young plants like yours, but I think the humidity might need to be a lil higher till they are bigger. Hopefully I am not all wrong on this though.

soon the seedlings will take off something heavy. next couple days in my opinion. the seedling stage is such a slow phase :/.

Sorry i know you've already said this but what kind of lighting are you using? will you upgrade to HPS for flower? I forgot

I'm using 6500K 60w CFL's ... 6 of them. They are growing soooo much faster than the first round... i don't care how slow it is, as long as the progress stays good. LOL... Will post pictures later.

Alright here's the pics from day 13, you can see a big difference from the different set ups one being my mix and the other 50/50 pro mix my mix...I added 2 organic ingredients to my soil every week over a 6 week period, mix it every day for a week at the same time conditioning it with a simple "2-3-1" formula and let it sit at 73deg for another 6 weeks before even begining my grow!

So the WW seed has broke ground, but the shell casing is still nice and tight. Still looking for signs of life from the 'chron' seed. My other 4 ladies are doing really good... third set of leaves coming in nicely. Will post pics later. Threads feel so quiet lately... LOL
