How do my 18 day plants look? (Pics)

This is my first grow ever, and I am using bagseed and small pots. The lights are CFL's there are 3 lights, one bulb is 42w, the other is 32w, and a 26w light. Using Miracle Gro organic, and no nutes as of yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't doing all that well, because it is my first grow and I'm on a very tight budget.

The plant on the left that looks lighter only looks lighter because the lights were right behind it. They're actually the same color.







Shitty cell phone pics, but it's the only camera I have.

They actually looks a bit bigger in real life. And they're more branchy in real life.

not bad...

Thanks. To be honest, I don't really care if I don't get too much off of this, because I just want it for personal use, and I am enjoying the grow so far.

Also, they look droopy because it was almost bed time for them (11 pm), and I over watered the day before.

lookn good! ur first grow can b a great learning experince! I still ask questions!!

your gonna want a few more cfl's at least when its time to flower those girls

how far away are you keeping the lights? your gonna need more for flowering. the most valuable thing you'll get from this first grow is knowledge, since you said you are enjoying the grow im sure you'll do well if you just stick with it and improve your setup when you can. i recommend building a grow box, its alot easier than it looks.

they look small.. to me... this is my first grow look at my avatar, that was taken about 3 days ago and im on day 17 now. check out my journal.

you probably want to increase the light id say.

Thanks everyone. The lights are 1-2 inches away I think. I will most likely buy 2 more 42w bulbs. I also have a grow box, it's the rubbermaid one that is on greenpassion.org

Wow JN, your plant beats mine by a long shot.

Dont worry about the other guy's plant, if they are not the same strains then the growth will be different,

my first grow here, outdoors - about 3 or four weeks old now. crappy pics and im feeling a little inferior after seeing yours hahah

Im on my first as well and those look better then mine thats for sure. Mine are only like 10 days old so!!! Good luck !!

plants are looking good man. You got the right idea. I don't think you mentioned what spectrum of light the bulbs are. You want the bright blue looking ones in a 6500k spectrum or so. The warm bulbs that are more orange colored are better for flowering. You'll get much more rapid growth using the right spectrum. But your on the right path, they don't look to stretched or malnourished and considering their in MG soil they look great. Just watch for over fertilization. Good luck bro.

dude they do look good, ya man more light more growth!!

Thanks guys. I'm using all 2700k. I looked all over at Walmart and Lowes and couldn't find any 6,500k. They've actually grow quite a bit since last night.

Oh ya they will do that, you can notice the grow right after they wake up from lights out.
You need to find those 6500k lights when it comes down to flowering, you still have some time. I would add in a few more like the above have said, you will more then likely notice the difference.

They are fine for 18 days.

you mixed em up,lol, 6500k is the preferred veg spectrum-or so people like to say,lol, ive used all 2700k for veg and flower and their was almost no difference in results, something i like to do that i have seen benefit though is to use both spectrums during veg and flower, like the sun does. i use 2 42w 2700k and 1 42w 6500k for veg and go up to 4-2700k and 2 6500k for flowing per plant

make sure u put them in a bigger container for the roots
