I'm so nervous on how seed 2 will come out. Also, I know I need to get better lights. I add a regular soft white led light for awhile next week to add about 500 lumens. The 25w led light says it gives 1600 lumens, I don't have the equipment to tell otherwise. Also, I'm using the dreaded MG potting soil.
Welcome to my first time grow!
Thinking of making a diy grow box, right now I'm sitting them outside from 9am till 6-7pm then under light inside until 1am. 8 hours in the dark.
Kept outside during day and put under 25w led full spectrum and 40w led soft white until day 14
Made diy grow box
Reptimed 13w mini tubular cfl (roommate's old turtle heat light; ~900 lumens at 4in from seed 1), 40w soft white led (~480 lumens at about 6 - 8 in from seed 1), and 25w full spectrum led (~1200 lumens at 20in from plants)
Is where it all started, by the end of the week mini cfl was about 3-4 in away, 40w led was 5-6in away, and full spectrum led was about in away.
Half way through day 25 I got my new LED light in the mail and switched to using it instead of the 25w LED.
Day 26 I switched from tap water to distilled water.
