Hey..!! need some help

[Foster87]

Sooo i finally took photos of my babies these photos are too show me if i am doing them wrong or right..please tell me if you need other photos too look at...these pictures took like 2 seconds


First time trying this please nice

 

[cylee89]

good but don't use aluminum foil

 

[Foster87]

what else would you prefer?

 

[riddleme]

Don't see any drain holes in those cups and they need to be there to prevent root rot

also your light needs to be closer

other than that good job

Use mylar or flat white paint

 

[Foster87]

i got Drain holes on the bottom of the cups and you sure the light needs to be close...because when i close my boxes the light is on top of them and its humdity is high as fuck in there

hey guys, i would love to know how long does the seedling stage last for? thanks

 

[Foster87]

Btw guys...this is 3 weeks and 2 days...as in weeks 7 day in a week...Vegatitive stage or w.e its called

He wasnt answering your question raincloud, he was saying how far along his plants are. you could get mylar instead of foil, or even get some of the black and white wall paper, or just paint the walls white. The foil will cause a lot of heat, these other things wont.. its more for reflection. What kind of lighting are you using? You need some sort of air circulation in there if you dont have it, and you dont want to have the box completely closed cuz itll probably be too hot depending on how big your area is. Getting fresh air in there is key.

 

[Foster87]

Hmm can i just put white computer paper all over my box? or no just a quick question

 

[SeniorRaincloud]

white cardboard works good if you have any!

 

[Foster87]

Ahhh okay man thanks that helps alot i got a hole on the side i didn't show...but its pretty small i will forsure make it bigger and add like 4 holes on the side where my wall is at soo the light is not showing....and do you have any tips of how my plants are looking or are they healthy looking?

Are you saying that your plants are 23 days old and look like that? At 23 days your plants should be around 10 inches and have 4 to 6 nodes with a fair amount of side branching. What lights are you using and how close are they?

 

[SeniorRaincloud]

yeah man totally i would love too! just post some pics!

 

[WillMunny]

Looks like you ran out of soil some of those cups are pretty empty - fill em up. Also guessing you have a couple twisty fluorescents for light which is causing the spindly growth. Lights need to be as close as they can without burning...within an inch. If it's hot and humid you will end up with a fungus - increase ventilation.

Lmfao i don't use nut. at all this was just a test too see if i could do it....like i said when i close my top the light is really close and yes i am picking up some more soil this week

Your saying they are close, the plants in your pics are saying WE NEED MORE LIGHT, hence the stretching

 

[Foster87]

I will take ur guys advice and buy a new light tomorrow and the light i got in there is 60w...soo is it the watt? or the light?

 

[BKCSG]

What type of lights and how many watts?

 

[Foster87]

lol don't laugh and remember first time growing dude!

60w and its a natural light like you would use in ur house?

 

[BKCSG]

you need at least 75 watts of CFL (compact fluorescent) lights per plant, no more than 2 inches from the tops of the plants. Those are VERY small plants for 23 days.
