That will please some of the more OCD amongst us. Now fill 'em up and put 'em to work.

 

[JimmyJames905]

Done. 10 of 14 in.
Works out to 1000+ LUX per bulb.
(I hid the bulbs from you so you can't OCD)

For sure getting a grow tent and better light will make everything better and will make everything go a lot smother. Also don't forget get
Ventilation it is a critical factor to keep everything in check. Also get a hygrometer you can pic one of those up at home depot or Wal-Mart or a hydro store that will tell you humidity and temperature. Its a need for growing anything

Yea i plan on upgrading to a complete grow tent soon and i have a small fan that keeps them happy and temp is unknown its usually warm but never to hot 24/7

Update: Both plants have sprouted their 2nd set of leaves and i have transplanted them into cups and they will be transplanted when they grow larger

I have added 1 20w and 1 14w cfl both at 900 lumens

I know i need better equipment i will upgrade soon ...

Everyone has to start somewhere. First comes knowledge then the right equipment .

Update : Both plants have had some growth, they are showing yellow/brown on tips of leaves,I'm positioning lights 1' away from plants instead of 4" and I just transplanted them to 6" containers and saw they were rootbound, i hope they recover well.

I have transplanted them into 6" containers using 1/3 part Buffaloam and it reads 1-1-1 for nutes and i have added 2/3 part vermiculite and perlite.

Dude. Buy the led bulbs at Home Depot for $6. You'll use half the electricity and get twice the light.

Depends on what bulb you buy every led bulb is different, for example there are bulbs that produce 60w of light and 500 lumens using 6w , obviously there are better bulbs out there but you should read the lighting facts that should come behind the package for the bulbs potential

Example.

 

[JimmyJames905]

I use 5000k Philips LED bulbs using 15 watts at 1100 lumens. They blow away the 23 watt CFL in brightness and CRI. Plus the results I get from them prove they produce better PAR.

This is the 23w 5000k CFL

Here's the 15w 5000k LED

True. I bought the GE 15w 5000k led and it sucks.

less COBs than the Philips.

Here's the Philips COBs. Notice there's more than twice as many.
