1st time doing this

started w/ EXCELLENT seeds (10)
germinated 3days roots were over 1 inch

planted in compost manure planting soil
have in closet(walk in)
in an enclosed tv stand linned w/ foil.

the more ive read has made me change the bulbs. i know have "mini-florous" but they are the screw in type w/one hanging lamp reflector

fan to circulate air
seedlings started GREAT growing FAST
i replanted in bigger pot
making sure to take as much soil with them as possible to not expose the roots.
the only thing i was using for nutrients was horse manure at first ( planted weekend before christmas)

now seedlings are about 3-4 inches high
but they are seriousely pail
the stems are dark purple
the first 2 oval are yellow
the second 2 jagged are pale and
2 plants they are curving down (not droopy) 1 is curving up and 1 is fine but paleother 6 are still deedlings as i let germinate for 2 wks couple of those are purple and hairy is tht good?

the next set of 3 leaves started sprouting but SLOWED and are still GREEN

can i post a pic?

please help...

last night I started a LIGHT mirical grow formula but they curved down faster over night 24% N 7% P 0%K

have not took soil sample to know ph

should i make the feed strongewr or lighter or same and how often do i feed vs. water?

If your stems are turning purple already, that means your temperatures are too low. You can keep you lights on 24/0 all the way till its time to flower.

What is the wattage and ammount of bulbs you are using. Also what are the color temperatures?

I wouldnt use full strength nutes right away. I usually start 1/4 strength when the 3rd set of leaves sprout and then increase the concentration by 25% every week until i reach 100%.

Also, line your TV stand with a white material. I like to use foamboard. Its white styrofoam with paper on both sides. You can buy it at art supply stores. Its a good insulator for sound moisture and temperature and flat white reflects light much better than foil.
