Good job. That's how it starts with the multiple rooms hehe ;-)

Can we see a pic of how far away the light are and stuff? Plants look a little like they maybe aren't getting enough light.

Another cool thing for you: if Thunderpaws makes it to finish you will be the first ever to Taste it!

pics to come when I get back from shopping for toys

For your question on pm: for t5 I would get them as close as possible. Fluorescent tubes are extremely dim so you can have them 1" from plant with zero issues.

Good day Bear. May I suggest not using a watering time table but instead physically checking how damp the soil is? With smaller pots like that you can just dip any type of wooden stick into the soil or even your pinkie finger. Feed them when they're thirsty, not by schedule.

ok moved the light to 3 inches from plants and cfl's as close as i can to the plants got to add 2 more bulbs to the blue fire and move em closer to the plants

the plants tell me ( I Use the pinky down to 2nd knuckle to test ) every 3-4 days so I water on day one and feed on day 2

 

[OttawaGreen]

Just be careful that the temps don't get too high at plant level with the CFL's. CFL's usually get fairly hot. The t5 tubes are no problem right up to almost touching the plants since they don't get hot

They have had their first feeding and second and will get the next one on wens. They will be bumped up to 15 ml budda grow and 15 ml trinity.On the first I am gonna be doubling my light. I just found out a friend is shutting down his grow and I am gonna buy his 4ft. 24w ho 4 light t5. Dont like the price but unless I can find it for less than 125 usd then I will buy his. Gonna check the local grow shop here in town and see what they can do on prices.

Or find someone to buy yours for $60 and get a Mars 2 400 for $189 ;-)
