OK so here it is. I am growing a couple plants and at first had them in straight potting soil. Figured the soil was not draining good enough so I mixed in about 40% Perlite. I water as I feel the plants need it. The plants are now about 2 1/2 weeks old and are literally as big as some 2 or 3 day old plants. The plants are beginning to yellow a bit and I am worried that I may lose them if I don't make some changes soon. I have the plants in three gallon pots each in a 2x1 based enclosure with two 32 watt CFL's and one 42 watt CFL, which is putting out about 5500 lumens, which I know is on the low end of being acceptable. My water is at about 6.5 pH. The temperature in the grow enclosure is at about 75-82 degrees constantly with no fan running in there yet. Not using any nutes or ferts yet, but have purchased Alaska fish fert, should I be adding these now? I am running out of ideas on what else I can change here to get these plants to take off. Anyone have any ideas for me?
