Hello everyone, Im a new member, though Ive read numerous threads here seeking tips. To make a long story short Im a drug addict and most importantly a father and husband. The sole provider of income for my family working a min wage fast food job. My goal is to make enough money to move where more opportunities exist. Watching the plants grow is theraputic for me and i would do it even if there was no profit to be made. I currently have 2 master kush feminized seeds from Nirvana just over 2 weeks from sprout. They germinated in a 10-5-5 organic potting soil mix. From here things get weird. As I am unable to post pics I assume advice will be hard to come by. However I will do my best to describe every detail and any advice will be greatly appreciated. Here goes... Sprout 1 broke the soil after 5 days. I had nothing from Sprout 2 so I uncovered some soil and found it to be germinating under a wood chip in the soil mix. Idk if it would have made it or not had i not moved the woodchip. Iplaced both sprouts under a 150w equiv cfl in a reflector ballast used for chick brooders. I also added some 100w equiv cfls and mylar for reflection. All cfls are daylight 5k and I now have 5 100w and 1 150w bulbs rigged up something awful lol. My grow room is pretty wide open as i am using a non functional bathroom. I have a small fan to circulate air and i leave the door open whenever i can. I have been running 24/0 because I have yet to figure out how to give them total darkness. I mixed a bag of peat moss with the potting soil and transplanted into a 5 gallon bucket. The next day I transplanted sprout 2 into 5 gallon bucket with no peat moss added to the soil. For the next few days sprout 2 seemed to be outpacing sprout 1, the stem seemed to be thickening faster. Sprout 1 took off. While both are similar in height, the foliage on sprout 1 is absolutely unreal compared to sprout 2. Sprout 2 has around 5 sets of leaves, thin and drooping slightly downward with very small sets growing at the nodes. Sprout 1 has around 5 sets as well but they are very large and wide, with the sets growing in at the nodes in such a way that its hard to count them all. Sprout 1 has never stretched toward the lights and its leaves are perky and reaching upward. The length of the leaves from tip to tip on sprout 1 has just exceeded the width of the bucket,while sprout 2 is less than half that size. I am very determined and confused. My only other attempt turned out to be male so the flowering phase is uncharted territory. I have given both plants 5-1-1 alaska fish ferts. Im fairly convinced that my problem is lighting but being new and relying on success I have really tortured myself contemplating whats wrong. Thanks to any and all who take the time to read this. Typed out on an xbox controller lol that is a testament to my dedication haha happy growing peace
