my true question is are my plants at the right size for their age? they ( 11 seedlings) are 4 weeks old and the average size is about 8-10in. with three nodes.
in the event they are lagging; i'll explain my setup. i have 18in. pots under 8 100w cfl's(6 in away from top) as well as 2 18in. 75w blue ray flouresent grow lights(3 in away). my soil is mix of perlite, manure, standard soil mix no nutrients. i feed once every 2-3 days pending soil moisture with pro-grow.
i do know that i have red stems and this usually means potassium deff. however my soil test kit shows med-high conc. of it. i'll try to post a pic if them can get a camera but till then my words have to say it all.
Welcome to our forum. Your plant sound like they are doing fine under the conditions you describe, let me explain. You have them in 18" pots, they will spend some extra effort filling the pot with roots. Once that happens you will 'see' more vigorous above ground growth.
Your light should be closer to you plants than that, almost touching, Garden Knowm Posted a thread about placing cfl's after he wrote the book. I think it was Proximaty af cfl's or something like that.
It sound like you have enough lights to get some yeild if you meet the law of averages and have 5 or 6 females.
Anything else would require a picture and wikid has graciously repeated her post of instruction for doing so. VV

imstokedHi all, imstoked here! New to RIU and have a few questions! Like when is it that you top a plant to make it grow more? What lights are best to add with an aerogarden pro200?
Hey stoked, welcome. We have several thread posted by folks with aerogardens. Topping a plant doesn't make it grow more, it just changes the direction of growth from vertical to horizontal.
Just want to welcome you all to our group, journals are almost a requirement. They allow us to see all of the details in one place. Don't forget to include pictures, we like pictures, a picture in like a thousand words and did I mention pictures.
