This is my first grow ever, I have a 2x2x4 ft box, 16 cfl lights, there is 12 6500, 23 w bulbs, and 4 2700, 23 w. The lights are mounted to the ceiling, with plexi glass divider. The area with the lights is cooled with 3 120 mm computer fans, one intake two exhaust. The grow area of the box air is circulated with a 12 inch fan inside box, 6 inch passive intake and a 4 inch inline fan and carbon filter. The temp with lights on is about 78 F. I choose to use big bud auto flowering feminized, germinated 3 and planted in 10 inch pots. Fox farm ocean forest soil with 15 percent perlite, phd distilled water to water them every 4 to 5 days, keep pots about 3 inches from light, in between watering I mist the top soil lightly once a day. 2 grew pretty quick 1 took quite a while that's why its small. They are about 11 days old. Also on a 18/6 light. Just want to know what everyone thinks, do they look healthy and I is this look ok for the size?

Lookin' good bro. Don't worry about your plants looking small, I've noticed a lot of growth happens in spurts. My seedlings looked small until one day I open the box and those babies actually looked like some plants :) Now these fuckers are flowering and stretching out too big for the box! It's like they like being burnt or something, my plants are some kinky bitches

When they start flowering I was going to do the opposite 12 2700 and 4 6500

Its not necessary to use all 6500k when in veg but you can use all 2700k for an entire grow.I personally use 14 23w 2700k with 2 23w 5000k for flowering.Damn......forgot I erased my phone pics but I have pics of my setup and all posted on other threads.

Guess I thought the 6500 worked best for the first three Weeks
Then 2700 after that but if you guys think I should have 2700 I'll switch I'm new to this and appreciate any input I was really hoping for a ounce per plant with my set up maybe that is to far fetched for a first timer

I've been reading only one of the 3 have spots I may have got tiny water spots on it, would this be the reason these showed up over night a day after I watered, and only one of 3 has them

This one is 4 Weeks old it, I have 2 others the same age but quite a bit bigger the while grow so far they look health, I feed them 1/4 dose of grow big one time, a week ago, and water once after with no nutes now it is time to water again, the edges were slightly yellow yester day and now Alot more, I am wondering if this would be nute burn since the plant was smaller and the other two are fine, or possibly a nitrogen deficiency? I am not sure what to so and they need water today so could someone chime in please ? Thanks
