Congratulations on getting into growing, looks like you are doing a lot right. If you haven't already I recommend learning about VPD and how it relates to cannabis.

I also recommend a PAR meter and a thermal laser temp gun to get better temp reading from the top of your plants and get the max potential from your lights.
Also if you're interested I am in the making of a YouTube tutorial series for all growers to utilize. You can find the link on my grow diaries page.
Happy Growing!
@riplets, That is for sure! I am always more than willing to help anyone out. Once you get down to it, You are spending electrical costs & money on nutrients in the end with some small effort & basic understanding of the plant life cycle and how to manipulate certain genetic triggers within it, We can optimize our value from our grows and make sure we are making every penny count! Please do not ever hesitate to ask if you should have any questions!
@LegacyMarketFarm, I'll look into all of this! What I've quickly realized is this hobby can be an absolute rabbit hole and that there's always something else to learn and try.
@love_2_grow, Definitely the grow lights. Didn't see the growdiaries heads up about taking photos without the grow lights on to avoid the plants looking pale. While the photo is a slightly lighter green, they are both a very healthy green when the grow lights aren't washing them out. :) Fresh Fox Farms soil and pH balanced water..nutrients should be good. Stay tuned for next week's update and I'll include photos without the grow lights on.
@riplets, It is an exciting hobby for sure :) BTW your girls look quite pale. Maybe it is just the pics, or maybe you have a nutrition issue. It could be worth checking in to before it gets worse.
@Seedsman, Thank you! The Northern Lights from you guys is working very well. As mentioned in the description of this entry, 2 seeds failed to germinate in wet paper towels BUT they might've just been older. Not sure. The one however has picked up a lot of speed ever since it got a few leaves on it and is looking stronger by the day.
