my first micro grow

hello all...first some info...

im using red greens rubbermaid setup (gotta love it thanks red). right now i have 4 20 w day light and 2 warm white (2700k) for seedlings..i knwo may be a but much but its workign for me. once both seedlings become big ebough ill go to 8 20 w daylight for veg and 8 42 w warm white (2700k) for flower...tell me if thats too much light

im using 2/3 potting soil 1/3 perelite for the seedlings but will use 12 soil 1/4 perelite 1/4 vermiculite (sp) when they move to their final homes..im using regular potting soil right now...will use either a "perfect mix" or some miricle grow moisture soil (its supost to keep water real well). i didnt wanna harm my seedlings in the miricle grow so i used this other stuff...ive got all kinds of soil mixes heh.

fror nutes right now i JUST used some 10-15-10 shultz brand nutes...1/4 strength..about 7 drops per gallon. only gave it to plant 1 as its a week ahead.

plant 1


plant 2



plant 2 was just somehting i threrw in there in hopes of getting anohter plant...would like to have 2 fems but well see...

that should do for now...fingers are tired and lungs say its joint time hah...

i wasnt sure if i should put this in here or grow diarys but this way i could let all my "teachers" see how im doing...and theres too many to name lol...but thanks to all

notice the cut in the cup...i think the soil got too far down when i watered them some drained threw the bottom so the top was kinda high...plus # 2 was just planted as seed while # 1 was germed in paper towel then planted...

other than that who knows they are the same distance from the lights

Dont throw that 20-20-20 unless it's the last days before harvesting.
Think it's too hard for babies.

Post more shots!

Looks like your doing a fine job!
Your right though I do remember Red's thread saying to fert every other watering & water only when dry. I just got the blanket installed in the lower tub, will be fitting in the light tomorrow, I forgot to get more bolts & nuts to install the fans & lights.
Guess I should not have taken that last bong hit before I went to H D.

I'll being watching to see how the 20-20-20 works for ya. I have a bag in the shed of some Peter's 20/20/20.
