I germinated my seeds. Planted them in miracle grow that says feeds up to 3-months does that apply for my plants? And I'm using a florecent light hugh above plants. 6 to 8 inches and right now one sprouted and has 4 leaves. I water when its dry. It is between 71 and 78 degrees and 71 to 74 humidity. Light cycle is 4pm to 9pm off 9pm to 4pm next day on. Am I doing everything right to get a god plant? Any tips and all?
new at growing, am i doing this right??

2nd. The soil ur using may be ok, but you should invest in good nutes. I use Fox Farm. What kind of floros are you using? Are the cfls or tubes? If tubes are they t5 t8 ect.? The light needs to be as close as possible to the plants when using floros. Usually 3 inches is good.

What do you mean he's doing fine? Did you even read his post? He's got seeds brand new on 12-12. Don't give people advice if you don't know what your talking about. All your doing is screwing up his grow.

First off his cycle isnt on 12/12 its just on 19/5 and during weird hours of the day...
Anyways what kind of lights are you using exactly? and you should probably move them a little closer to the plants.
How many plants do you have and from what bagseed or did you order them?
And also dont use tap water if you didnt figure that out already..

Your watering looks ok and your temps look great. You want to be on a minimum of 16-18 hours of light per day right now up to 24 on and never off. Get a cheap ph meter. You can fine them for as little as 10 dollars. They are a necessity.

It sounded like his lights were off from 4pm-9pm then on till the next day at 4pm.. making it 5 hours total darkness
just how i interpreted it.
And why not buy a 20$ water purifier to water your precious girls instead of the unbalanced tap water..

Water can become un-balanced over night no matter what you use. I grow hydro and I can about guarantee you no-body goes and buys water for their grow. Matter of fact I've grown outdoors many times and I either pour trash cans of tap water and leave it near my grow, or I use pond water and sometimes creek water.

I didn't suggest buying water for grows i just recommended using pure water.. is that so bad??
I would think most people would agree that tap water is worse than purified water for obvious reasons. I can understand if you dont have any money at all and cant afford a 20$ brita filter so YOU and you plants can drink purified water. Maybe it was because you yield from your last grow didnt do so great. why dont you try using better water and tell me how it goes big guy.

I think you really need to learn how to count first off before you ever give someone advice on how to grow.
