with the older plant I am just being overly optimistic and hoping that it will be a female, that seed came from some good bud I had a couple months back. 2 of the seedling are feminized seeds that I got online (diesel acid, and afgan kush) the 3rd is unknown, but from good bud. The seedlings have been approx 4" from the light source, this morning i took the box out that they were on and dropped them lower (about a foot below the light, if that) should they be closer? The lights (for now) are nothing fancy, just cfl's ... 2 from canadian tire, they are 20W plant bulbs, but that's about all i know about them, the other light is a sun blaster cfl 26W 1700 lumes full 6400K spectrum? No idea what that means other than it mimics natural light, oh and the lumes I am assuming is the brightness. I used a soil testing kit to test the ph, and after using that I will defiantly go out and pick up a better tester. most of the soil i was testing looked to be in around the 6.5ph range, but at the very top it looked a bit lighter in color, so i just went with saying ph of 6. Yea I still don't know what I am doing yet, but that will change in time =)
