Seedling help

also, do you have easy access to 4 foot flouro tube lighting? this is an easy and inexpensive way to add light and you can keep it very close to your plants. @RM3

RM3 is some kind of magical leprechaun. I dunno how he does it with those T5s. She should go with something easier for new people to work with and have confidence in.

 

[Olive Drab Green]

Worst case scenario, though, T5s are better than no lighting at all, so if you don't get the MarsHydro and can't find anything else, go with that.

I actually do seedlings under a 15 watt T8

Hi
I replanted all my seedlings into single pots. they all died...
So I guess im starting over. also really need to find a light....

Good, no pressure, now. Either get a T5 set and collab with RM3 for some good grow advice with it, or tell me if you can come by a MarsHydro reflector series in your price range.

Check this one out for me

Doesn't make any sense. Says 14w power draw for 225 diodes. That's not even possible, even with efficiency taken into account.

I'd strongly suggest looking for another if you can.

Hi there
Ive taken everything into account now and have decided to build my own full spectrum LED light. I have my dads expertise in electricals to assist me and it works out to less than a 100dollars to build.

 

[NatsieG]

I've decided to try one plant only while I wait for the light to be built. 5days old now

For seedlifs even all the way out o veg mothers you can use T-5s or regular cfl spiral 6500k bulbs you can get a pack of six for under 10$ and they veg your plants well also how often do you water? And what soil u using sorry if this has already been asked

 

[Dear ol" Thankful Grower!]

Also dont transplant seedligs till they are at least 2 weeks if u are a new grower they are very sensitive and sometimes ripping out a root accidentally can cause death for the young plant

They are rediculously leggy because of the incandescent lamp your using. Even a small cfl or the winter sun would do better than that. They can still be ok just get some decent light on them and maybe a fan next time so they stiffen up a bit.
