First Closet CFL Grow

These are some pictures after the first transfer. I'm using Miracle Grow Organic Potting Soil.
Lighting
One True Color 6500 K 23 Watt
Two CFL Bulbs 6000 K 23 Watt
One CFL Bulb 2700 K 13 Watt'

You can see from the pictures that the back wall has mirrors but the other walls are lined with aluminum foil. Lights are on for 24 hrs right now. Using tap water left out for a day and I have just started using nutrients. Fertilizer is Miracle Grow thats 8-7-6 ratio.

The plan is to grow the plants short and bushy due to the fact that we cant start flowering until after Christmas Break.

Messed up on one transfer so were trying to strengthen the stems by bending two and breaking another. And the spacing is pretty close. Input and opinions appreciated.
Thanks

Miracle grow will work, i'd advise getting some specific nutes for your babies though to make sure they are getting every element they need. Flicking the base of the stem all the way around each plant bulks it up no end. It slightly stresses the stem and plant and will force itself to get fatter, thus pulling up more goodness from the soil. i've done this with every plant i have grown, works a treat!

Yes make sure you spend like $100 on MJ specific ferts with cool pics on the bottles cuz the $10 ferts are garbage. $100 NPK ratios are so much better. All the people that use the best selling products in botany like MG and Jack's are idiots. Good ferts cost a minimum of $100 and have a tiger or something cool on the bottle.

I use MG all purpose for veg and Jack's Classic for bloom, Superthrive (the most expensive I bought $9), mollasses, epsom salt and peroxide.

we've been here before havent we? i never said go buy pretty bottles, and i never called anyone an idiot? roam around the forums and make your own mind up on what you feed your plants. Start a new thread, Miracle grow or not and see what responses you get;)

That is like saying go ask Rusty Wallace if race car drivers are athletes.
 
Alright i have done a decent amount of research so i was slightly confused but figured id ask. Any tips on how to keep them short and bushy because like i said i have to wait til the first week of January until i can start flowering
