This is my first grow. I've had about 30 old random seeds sitting in a ziplock for quite some time. I decided to just try and germinate 4 seeds just to see what happens. Didn't expect anything but a couple of days later they started popping. I was super unprepared but just like when I had my kids and I was unprepared I still told myself I'ma take care of my babies. This is my first time growing a plant of any kind period so I did some research that day and built my babies a home the next day. This is the morning of day 3 in my DIY space tote. I used two sterilite totes stacked, painted the insides white with spray paint and then cut two intake fans on the bottom and one exhaust fan on top. I drilled holes in the bottom tote for drainage and used one of the lids as a drip pan on the bottom. I am running a 125w CFL right now but I am aware that I will need more light in the near future. I also stuck a thermometer in there and the temps have been staying between 74F and 80F. I planted them in Fox Farm Ocean Forrest soil in cups and plan on moving them into pots in about 10 days or so. I have been only giving them distilled water. I also have a timer for the light so that I can keep the babies on a 18/6 schedule. 3 of the babies are growing the 4th came up a bit and I have my fingers crossed that she will start losing that shell and also shoot up like the rest. Can anyone please help me with advice on what other lights will I be needing and when to add them, also if I am missing anything? This is my first grow of any kind and I'm just trying to pick your brains and make sure I get it right! Thanks in advance. (Please keep in mind that I am on a budget and can probably only spend about $60 more bucks on this at this time)
