Its been growing in a carboard box measuring 3' high 2'wide 2' long. its under 3 cfl's, two which are 6500k and one thats 3500k. theres also a fan that blows on it that i just put in to strengthen it. If you notice theres a few yellow spots and im not sure if it was burned by the bulb or somthing else. any words of advice much welcomed...

Looking good But just a heads up becarerful when adding nutes to miracle grow soil beacause they usually come with nutes already in them that last anywhere from 2 to 3 months. so you may end up over fertilizing them. But other then that keep up the good work.

the soil needs perlite. the growth is stunted for some reason because they are a little small for 2 weeks. otherwise keep it up.

nice looking plant what is the watts of your 3 cfls, and that lil burn could be nute burn, what cycle are they on? other then that id be happy with that grow so far. GL

If its miracle grow soil i wouldnt add any nutes for a while. your leaf tips are showing signs of nute burn. that soil is super hot, meaning its loaded with nutes. dont add any until your plant shows signs of needing nutes.

i would also try to get my hands on some organic soil, that isnt made by MG and transplant those little ladies.

MG is bad!!!!

Ya , plants look good..... when you go to transplant these little gals i would go to your local hydro shop and pick up a bag of FoxFarm's Happy Frog soil.......or ask the clerk to help you out with whats best for you. This will make ALL the diffrence needed to harvest as much grass as love you put into them.:blsmoke:

if your going to do foxfarm, get ocean forest, nobody will disagree with that here. but in the meantime. i dont even have that soil and my seedling is doing better then yours already working on its 3rd leaf set in mg african violet soil. less than two weeks. but then again, its all genetics. go with your gut, only you know your plant better than anyone. you will know when it is ready for nutes and you will know when it is ready to transplant. dont let people on here tell you something that will fuck up your grow. go off instinct!!!!

hey man. i agree with burris, stay away from the 3500k lights. oh and there's nothing wrong with mg soil, perlite, or nutes. something is going on, your plants should be alot bigger by now, but it's not the mircle grow. mine are 10 days old, from 2-4 inches tall, and just getting started on the 7 pronged set of leaves. they are in a mixture of cheap potting soil mixed with mircle grow perlite, and i'm using 20-20-20 mircle grow nursery select nutes(very little). mine are three times the size of yours with more leaves, and they are 4 days younger. so something's up, but i can guarantee it isn't the mg. get rid of the 3500k, and get a few 2700k and 6500k bulbs and see what that does, in my humble opinion.
