Indoor Noob Alert!!!! Am I ok here???

[DarkShadow]

What it is AFN? This is my first go at this and I'm curious to know if I'm on schedule? These are my lil ladies: Super Silver Haze, White Widow and Golden Leaf. I'm at day 6 (as of 12am CST). How am I looking? Should they be more developed? I started my seeds in coco and a little black kow compost. Since the sprout, they've been under (1 100w bulb for about 2 days) 2 100w bulbs for 18/6, with a 3rd on from time to time. Being that they are in small grow mediums, I do have to hydrate more frequently. Hope I'm not stunting any growth because of the frequent watering... Doesn't seem like it since the leaves are still nice and green and they do look to grow in height a bit each day. Just not much from the leaf development these last 2 days.

Please lend your advice. I'm hoping to get a nice grow / harvest down the road. Thanks!!!

Lower your lights they are stretch way to much. You want tight nodes you'll never get that with such weak lights and distance

Yeah, 6 inches. Lights man. Light is everything. Don't spend another penny on anything. It will just go wasted until you get more light. Go to Ebay young man. Don't order another pizza until you get a decent light. Cheapest deal is just a 400w mh/hps they sell now on ebay or amazon. If that is too steep look for something anything used. It's now only a matter of days before those plants outgrow those rattails. If you could swing the 600w you would be good to go for a long long time.

Thank you... I have led lights. This is something I put together with multiple led grow lights and a 300w equiv led. I just have to finish up the wood work that these will be housed in. The grow lights on each 5 in 1 light cluster consist of: 2 24w grow, 2 36w grow and 1 12w blue grow veg light (middle light). The long light in the middle is a daylight 38w / 300w equiv. I bought all grow lights through Amazon and the 300w at homedepot. I came out cheaper than buying an already configured light set. At least until after the first of the year. I can then get the Platinum LED that I want.
