First grow journal X purple hulk automatic X blue dream

My name is dookiejoose and like I said this is only my 2nd grow and first journal. I'm a total noob. My first grow was not successful but I'm not deterred.im going with a simple set up a tent light good soil seeds an
I decided to make a journal In case I come across any complications, I figured somebody here could help me out. I'd rather that than to search Google. That being said id appreciate feedback and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism so feel free


I'm working with some seeds I got from msnl.
I got these seeds about 5 months ago, thanks to the "discreet shipping" option, we didn't know that the seeds had came in a baby bib ( we didn't question it because we just had a baby) idk how many times we wash and dried those bad boys in that bib.
Around January 10th I germinated 4 pha and they sprouted a root on the 13th. Unfortunately I went to jail and they were no good when i got out

My order was:
10x purple hulk automatic
plus: 5x blue dream feminized
plus: 5x critical reg

Grow medium:
Foxfarm organic potting soil with worm casting and guano

Equipment:
I have a vivosun 4x2x4 grow tent (that's good for about 6 plants i think)
inline fan and carbon filter
heater
fan
A 125w cfl at 6400k and I'm going to get another one soon

Feb 16: I germinated 2 blue dream and 2 pha to see if they would crack and they did so I put them in peat started pucks and under a light and kept the puck moist with a spray bottle and distilled water. I kept the environment at about 80 and misting regularly to create a humid atmosphere I'm short on money and cont afford a humidifier rn.

Feb 22: the 2 blue dream sprouted and the 2 pha have yet to break soil.
I decided to plant 3 critical Reggie and my last blue dream feminized in a cup with soil. Im keeping the soil moist and giving it time as I've never planted it this way and I don't feel like doing the paper towel thing again.

In the first picture (it doesn't look like much yet) 3 critical reg labeled R x 4 pha x and 3 blue dream. Boy am I gonna need more light . The biggest one in the white cup is a survivor from the first 4 I germinated on the 13th. It sprouted between then and the 23rd. It's about a month old and damaged I'm gonna let the little guyIMG_20200223_014832749_HDR.jpg ride it out and see if it gets better. I have pictures of the blue dream that sprouted I'll post tomorrow. Ill keep updates y'all stay tuned

Update: these pictures are from March 5th. I transplanted into final pots of 7 and 3 gal. I got to ahead of myself earlier and realized I had germinated too many seeds so I had to ditch a few due to the fact that I wouldn't have the space or light for them anyways. I'm down to 2 pha and 2 bdr and a critical reg. I have yet to find out the sex of the critical reg but I'm not counting on it cuz what are the odds right?
As soon as I transplanted all of them they shot up and have been growing at a rapid pace.

March 11: This is the pha that was sickly for a bit until 2nd transplant. This is it's third and final pot, 7 gal. IMG_20200315_134031491.jpgIMG_20200315_134040199.jpgIMG_20200315_134048904.jpgIMG_20200315_134031491.jpgIMG_20200315_134040199.jpgIMG_20200315_134031491.jpgIMG_20200315_134040199.jpg

Your plants are looking good, but you’re gonna need a lot more light than 125w of cfl’s.
And a taller tent, 4ft isn’t gonna be adequate.
Just trying to help you out.

Thanks and Np, I appreciate the advice.
The biggest one is already in flower so I'm hoping will be done and harvested before the others ( who are the same age as each other) start to take off, giving me more room and light. As far as the tent not being tall enough, would ltr maybe fix that p problem? It's about 2 1/2 ft from the bottom of the tent now. How much more could it grow?IMG_20200319_092255432.jpg
 
Update I got rid of one of the pha. So I'm down to 3 pha and 1 bdrm and 1 reg.
I added a 65w led board 4000k
Also started feeding nutes yesterday
Eh honey chomb for flower and
And fox farm plant food for veg
So far so good.
The big one had a bit of a stretch and I had to tie it down a bit so it didn't outgrow my tent as it was reaching past the light. It's in week 5 of flower

Also I'm thinking of cloning the bdrm and cutting the mother for hash or butter. Ideas on that would be much appreciated
