looking good. how high do you have your light above them? i'll be watching this

 

[andy1978]

its about 3ft above but was higher until it fell lol so keeping it lower until they grow more then move up again more secure this time but !!!!! lol

 

[andy1978]

also with the white boards i have up its reflecting more light around the plants which i think helps looking really healthy.I am stil waiting for something to go wrong because it is going so well.I will be updating regular to help other 1st time growers who like myself know fuck all about any of this lol .

I'd try lowering the light a bit and make sure not to over water! GOOD LUCK!!

Also try mylar or foil for added reflection you can put it on
the floors to reflect the light upwards

 

[andy1978]

ave been told by a few people that foil burns the plants ! and they are gettin plenty of light just scared of burning them if it is too low but thanks for the sdvice at least you are good enough to leave a comment
