This week they seem healthy but are growing quite slow. I decided to put them in their final fabric pots on day 21 and they are taking off now. The starting soil was junk, won't make that mistake again. I mixed up new soil and it seems really nice.
My soil consists of:
(1) Happy Frog 2 cu. ft. Bag
(1) Ocean Forest 1.5 cu. ft. Bag
(4) Gallons of Brut Farms Worm Castings (About 15%)
(4) Gallons of Vigoro Perlite (About 15%)
(1) Gallon of Vigoro Coco Coir
Made about 4.7 cu. ft.
This is my first indoor grow so I did a little research on soil/nutes and then got the stuff I could find on sale or available at the time. I have hope it will turn out well. Even if I harvested only two ounces this grow will be cheaper than buying from the man in this area.
So far I have $351.81 into this entire setup including a few tools. I imagine at the end I will have less than $450 into this grow including water, electric or any nutes/Voodoo magic I might need.
The lights I bought at an auction way cheaper than buying new. The Phlizon light was damaged but I repaired it with some solder and it works 100% now. That light has a whole lot going on inside!
