New Grower First grow...AKR, BLUE MYSTIC, AUTO BOMB

[00biggdogg00]

As some of you know, I'm starting my first grow and have had some great advise getting it started off. I working in a 3.5'x3.5' closet that's diamond myler lined, 3 CFL's, a fan (circulation), and a small heater that keeping the room between 75 and 80 degrees with night temps around 65. My humidity is a little high right now at 53 percent. I'm ordering and exhaust fan this week hopefully so I'm hoping to bring the humidity down in the mid 30s range. Anyhow, I germed the seeds Friday 2/8/13 in water until they sank and put them strait in soil. Been misting them everyday and they are up. The Blue Mystic is the runt of the group right now. But I'm sure that will change soon. I plan on updating every chance I get. Let me know what you guys think as this goes along!!

At 53% your not to high.You should be between 50 and 60 during the veg stage and around 40 to 50 during the flower stage.

Thanks namvet!! I've still gotta get that exhaust fan to get that stale air out of the room, probably gonna grab a 4" inline duct fan and carbon filter.

Update:

I now have a total of 6 CFL's. 4 55w 5000k and 2 55w 2700k and holy shit its bright in there!! I've got a bit of a problem though. I got up at 9am and my lights were off. I checked the timer and it showed that they should have came on at 4am like normal. I'm not sure what the deal is. Should I just run the 24hrs on for a week or 2?

Transplanted yesterday to the 3 gallon containers which are about 3/4 full and gave them there first full water today. The growth almost seems to have stopped or something. I'm not sure what's going on. I also noticed that the tips of the AKR have a light green color to them. I checked my PH after watering today and its right at about 5.5 to 5.7. Is this a little to low?

I ran into some more problems, this time with heat...

I guess adding the 3 extra CFL's heated it up a bit to a constant 84°!!! I think this may have had something to do with my problem in my last post. I cut a hole in the wall, about 3"x6" and mounted a small fan to the wall. Dropped the temps back down to 79°. Now I'm just waiting for the babies to take back off!!
