Northern lights x big bud cfl - soil first indoor grow

My current setup is a 4'dx4'wx8'h closet with a hanging light with two cfls one is a soft white bulb that produces 2900 lumens and the other bulb is daylight that produces 1600 lumens so i have 4500 lumens (250watts) for 4 plants. My current soil is miracle grow with a very weak release of nutrients. The room temp. is constantly between 80-85 degrees, and the humidity is between 70-75%. The PH is currently about 6.8. I have the seeds on continuous lighting and about 4" above the soil. its about day 2 and i can see that they are growing into seedlings already. According to what information i have read my growroom conditions are pretty decent i think. When my second set of leaves sprout i have an organic fertilizer that is 5-4-3 just a weak blend of some bat shit or something lol.. I have a fan set up just about pot level for the seedlings. We don't have it set up yet but i plan on setting up the homemade co2 bottle with yeast sugar and water. Im a first time grower so please leave me some feedback i would appreciate it .. And one question any thoughts on if i should do the LST method with my current lighting or do you think they would grow fine. The room is solid black so no light can come in (Its an old closet with a lot of cracks so we had to seal it off.) Thanks for reading my post ill be on often and posting pictures, hope to hear from you soon.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures im using my phone for right now i can't find the cord to my camera.

Day 4 slight problem with the PH its a little low will pick up supplies to fix it tomorrow, we have two growing nicely above the ground and two just about to pop up. They don't look stretched do they?

Its been 1 week since they have been planted and they are doing well, i am down to two plants the other two didn't quite make it. here are some pictures enjoy

Plants are looking good here are a few pics

Well its day 12 and yet still no posts from anyone but me. Anyway the ladies are doing well the temp is at about 90 degrees with constant circulation, and the humidity is at about 55. PH is still normal about 6.5 the only bad thing is i ran out of CO2 anyone know of a cheap setup for under $100. Anyway here are the girls (i hope.)

IM a soon too be first time grower, I was wowndering if u are using the CFLs throughout the the whole grow

Growth does look great, what kind of effect is the CO2 having?

Yes Aladdin i am going to be using the CFLs throughout the entire growth cycle, i have both spectrums daylight and soft white so that way the lights are good for veg and flowering. I just had a basic CO2 setup i think i need some constant CO2 in my growroom, from what i have heard good co2 can almost double your growth

I was thinkin of using CO2 but I dont want to get a tank, i also thought CFLs were no good for flowering

Looking good brotha, try switching lights to 18-6 instead of 24, plants cant absorb 24 hours of light anyway, n the 6 hours of dark gives teh plant time to rest n the roots more time to grow , u'll notice a difference Try it out . Otherwise looking good man.

Well today i switched the light cycle to 20-4 i am going to slowly start increasing the length of the night time and hopefully see some results

that works also

Hey guys thanks for the comments keep watching hopefully i have two females i have a good feeling about it but we will see and keep giving me tips everything is helpful this is my first grow! Anyone know of a cheap co2 setup?? let me know

Just go to the FAQ section and make ur own CO2

Same lighting, ph is about 6.5 still here are some pictures .

Looking good my man

Well today i took the two plants out of their smaller pots and placed them into larger pots im not sure what size they are a friend gave them to me but ill use these pots from now on. Switched nutes to 10-15-10 i applied it by watering, the directions were 7 drops per quart so i took a water bottle and filled it up, the water bottle is .5 liters which is about 1/2 quart i think correct me if im wrong and put 3 drops in it and put them evenly into the plants. the light cycle is still on 20-4 i am thinking of switching to 18-6 soon. ill post up pics a little later tonight or tomorrow the plants are looking good im curious to see what the new nutes will do to it, oh and i got some seltzer water it has co2 in it i was thinking of misting my plants with it good idea or bad idea?

You should just change the time cycle now cause it doesnt matter man it wont slow her down if anything speed her up alil before going to 12-12 . How big u planning on getting these girls before flowering? Cause you kno they are going to double in size during flowering right Im just asking just incase Couldnt hurt could it teh co2 water that is

Well Wobi took your advice and i am using the co2 water and i switched the lighting back a little to 18-6 for now i wanted them to get a little bigger maybe a 4' tall plant at the end, should i flower soon what are your thoughts, because i wanted to take clones of these and continue my grow room. I went and bought some bananas and set them by the ladies i read that they release a gas to help feminize your plants lets hope it works!
