Days in: 3
My first grow! The germinated seeds are now in the pots.
Here are the specs for the sprouting stage.
Soil Mix:
4 parts top soil (best I could find)
1 part Schultz Potting Soil (0.012-0.18-0.012)(Has some perlite in it)
2 parts Vermeculite
A small handful of Dolimite Lime
Lighting:
Two 23 watt CFLs, 2ft above the pots.
Sprout/Veg Box:
1.5 x 2 x 3.8 ft
I'm still figuring out how big I want my flowering box, probably going to start building it this week. I'm going out to buy a 400 watt HPS ballast with a son agro bulb, and mylar, etc.
Questions:
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

Questions:
- When should I throw the plants under the 400 watt light?
