The leaves seem to be dry?

Am I doing this right nonetheless?

Help?

Is all of your lights cfl? If I were you I'd move them a lot closer. Cfl link lights should be kept about 2 inches or so from plant. Biggest newbie mistake is over watering. Try not to over water. But all in all your girls look OK. You'll probably need more lighting down the line.

Just get a couple more four packs of lights and some Y splitters. But with having them two inches from your plants keep a close eye on heat stress

OK, constructive criticism.

1, Lights have to be closer.
2. Stop pulling off leaves.
3. Water less.
4. Soil needs to be near the top of planter.
5. No more fertilizer. Wait until roots firmly established and then fertilizer at 1/4 strength.
6. Get a book! Maybe get two. There is an excellent CFL grow book out there. Get it from the library, get it from Amazon. But get a well reviewed book.

So, do you really love Lucy? Do you live in Jamestown, N.Y.? Home of the Lucy museum.

Ey dubbz .
I just need 1 of those ?
No other lights needed?

You are doing alright for your first grow. That said, I would suggest using the side of your cfls to get light on your plants, the tops of cfls do not put out as much. Fill up your soil as close to your leaves as possible. More root, more fruit.
