Hello everybody! Very long time smoker have always wanted to grow but never had the chance and moved to my girlfriends house in the midwest in January and have been trying since.. had humidity problems during the winter (couldnt get it above 20 and they would die), but now my humidity is good during the summer and they are growing very well. These are 3 and a half weeks maybe 4 weeks old, i had them on 24/0 lighting from the start and just 2 nights ago started 12/12. i have a timer and the closet is light sealed. for lighting i have a 150 hps ballast , 2 46 W cfl (one flower spec one veg spectrum) and 6 23 w Cfls (all veg spectrum, very cheap at supermarket 3$ per light). 4 of the 23's are not set up because i did not get to ace today to buy the power chords. In their old spot (the attic) before i moved them into the closet about 1 and a a half weeks ago they would get a bit too hot during the day so i would put them outside, they stretched a little from this but i am LSTing them pretty well (i think). The seeds i am using are all from seeds i have been saving for the past year and are mostly from mexican mids and are probably equatorial sativas. a few are squad leathery indicas though. well that is that, please let me know what you think. o btw temp is usually 85 give or take 2-3 (not above 90 though ) and the humidity is always between 40-55. Fox farm ocean forest is the soil and i did not use nutrients for veg but i am starting tiger bloom tommorow. i have them LSTing so they are kinda all in different directions for light space and cup space, but none are coiling around eachother at all. i am putting them in large pots once i figure out which are female because i dont want to waste time for the males.

the last five pictures are from 4 days ago before i started LSTing them.

Hey Now- just a good hearted tip-

To keep the peace- use a drop cloth and keep you grow space clean. It's alot easier to manage and does'nt create domestic issues. Good luck! Jah guide

Yea definetly put down some white poly or something similar. White would be best as it will reflect some light back.
Are you using holes for drainage? How are you not getting water/dirt all over that nice carpeting?

Lookin good otherwise.. I'd try to drop those temps a bit. It's still pretty early summer and if you are already getting into 85's you could have some probs..
What type of ventilation are you using? Any smell protection?
