Hi i started my first grow about 2 weeks ago, using bagseed just to see how things go, do you think they will grow under these lights? u can close the door etc on it, and do you think i should be giving them 24/7 light schedule atm which is what i been doing, also when do i add fertilizer? etc

any advice would be very much appreciated

well theres 2 plants in one (home made pot) its about 15 cm, then other one is in a 6.5cm pot and finally the last one is in a margerine container, im very new to this so im guessing im sounding completely like a rookie which i am lol the soil that is being used is, outdoor soil and some organic compost, the outdoor soil is very healthy and the seeds didnt take long to sprout in them, but i had 3 other seeds that germinated but i put them in a compost pot and theres alot of wood etc in it, anyway just yesterday i had to throw them away as they hadnt sprouted yet and the others had, i seen no sign of the seeds either, mystery what happened but still got 4, so do you think i should add more cfls? or is 2 ok? its got a reflective metal material inside it, and i leave the door open slightly with a fan blowing in keeping the temperature around 24-27 degrees, also im not so sure about the plant with 2 i one pot, whats your opinions on this? should i leave them alone or try and seperate them? and is 24/7 light sycle ok for them atm?


edit.. Also just been watering every other day or so when i feel the soil and its starting to get dry

im also new, but you should put them in different pot before the roots begin to tangle. Lights are ok, you doing better then i am,, i only have one running for now on two plants.. You can also buy a moisture meter,ph meter and light meter all in one at the home depot for 8 bucks i just got mines. and they look pretty healthy dude.. how many watts and lumens are the bulbs..

they have these splitters u can buy at home depot or wal-mart really cheap... basicly itll let u add another bulb to each one. the more light u have the better. also when the plants are about three weeks old you'll have to buy a light timer and set in for 12 hours on 12 hour off. that will make the plant bud. you should get the lights like the ones you have that say 27k or 35k on them not the ones that say 65k... you should also try to keep the light as close to the plants as you can about 2 inches at nearest..er 5cm...your watering habbits sound good..you may want to think about some fertalizer or u can throw a lil more of that compost on the top of the soil about 2 weeks into flowering (after u put the timer on 12/12) hit me up /w more questions yo! good luck!

good im hoping they pull through, thanks for the advice swager, never thought about splitters but thats a good enough idea, when do you think i should get them and use them? for flowering or now? and also i have a light timer, i just dont know when to switch to 12/12 they are on 24/7 atm, also i have bone meal fertiliser when do you think i should start applying this? thanks once again
