I have 2 plants from bagseed and one that is a seed found in some White Rhino I had. The 2 bagseed plants are in rubbermaid tub with 270 watts of cfl's over them in home made light with reflector. The soil is Sta-Rite for vegetables and flowers and I believe it has some nitrogen added in the mix.(pellets) Sorry im not great speller. Anyway the 2 were doing great. Its been 3 weeks and they remained nice and deep green and they are about 3 inches tall however as it produced second set of leaves the first set that were nice and green turned yellow/brown and are falling off. The new growth is still green and it looks like 6 more little tiny leaves are forming now(3 on the left side and 3 on the right in center of plant. Is this normal and I feel like its smaller then all of the photos Ive seen of plants this age? I have 150 square foot room in basement Im using so they are set up with lights hanging over top of them about 4-5 inches above. The Rhino plant is over 4 weeks old now and is aprox 3-4 inches tall and starting now for the first time to actually get taller and is producing multiple little tiny leaves. I just feel like Im behind in size for the time they have grown. The Rhino has close to 300 watts of cfl's over it by itself so I know light is not the issue. I just germed 4 more bagseeds and they are in plastic beer tub and should be sprouting any day. I just want to know if there is anything I should do with these to avoid this situation but maybe this is normal. I have to keep close eye on watering as they all are in lots of soil, and dry up in a day or 2 fairly quickly. I do adjust ph accordingly as my tap water is around 7.2 so I bring it down after its sat out a couple days to let chlorine evaporate. Any help would be appreciated. All in all they are looking very healthy but not as large as they should be possibly? Thanks guys
