Is there somewhere you can buy spray paint? That tin foil absorbs light. You should line the walls with flat white paint if you can.

Oh shnap..it does? i didnt know I thought it would hep reflect and keep it nice and bright...spray paintintg the closet walls isnt an option. Their colour is like a cream white...I'll give u a pic below of the real colour:

Think its ok? or am I better off buying construciton paper and putting it up? (man that would be so much work, remove lights, rmeove plants, and then put up papaer and rebuild everything lol)

Shamless self plugs are always fun! lol

So remind me again, so I dont make too many trips, what do I need form the garden centre again? pH strips/kit, maybe a moisture meter?

 

[storzbickel]

yeah a meter

if they have that 3 in one for cheap get it, or a ph/moisture. or some sort of test kit.

mylar if you can. cheap , like 18usd/roll for a good like 24'x4' roll. That will reflect all the light you want.

for now thats all i can think of

 

[emilio613]

Mylar? hmm....they MIGHT have it at the grow store. i will wait on that one a few days and see if they have it at the canabis store (one of the two i know of)

yeah man take that tin foil off. The white walls you have are better and will reflect more light than that tin foil. Alot of people make that mistake by putting tin foil up thinking it will reflect the light. In some cases the tin foil can actually kill the plants.

 

[emilio613]

argh! good to know b4 its too alte, thanks man

 

[emilio613]

Ok so the foil is gone now.

I am SOOO frustrated tho. i mean its annoying seeing other people post with plants that arre like enourmous after 4-5 weeks and then, looking at my shitty wimpy plants, discourages me.

Does anyone think they will still yield anything? Or am I wasting me time?

Someone encourage me here, everything is going worng in my life, aleast the plants could cheer me up

Should i start seeing improvements in about a week with the new set up?

 

[storzbickel]

yeah soil takes some time to show responses be patient but you can always restart and apply what you have learned.
Wait a week and reassess

wat is a good range when testing the moisture...on a 1-10 scale

on 1-10.......5

Meters usually go dry-moist-wet. You want to shoot for moist

 

[emilio613]

Ok so heres my current set up i took down the foil, and it should be better now. I saw some improvement in some fo the plants, and the skunk one can stand on its own now, meaning its stem is firmer.

 

[emilio613]

So i went to the grow store...they had one moisture meter lol..it was broken so I have to wait a week about to buy one.

And they had no pH kits..maybe the agrden store will have it.

Atleast i had watering explained to me at the shop, the guy spoke eprfect english...

Don't spend on moisture meters-watering is simple simple simple. You need light. Cheapest I have found iis a 70watt Sodium security light, Screwfix Direct £26.99.Mr Bricolage will have them. A cheap timer (Graslinn GRASP24 will do it) and you are off and away. a guy called Addy managed 3 plants each giving 3/4 oz's dry with one of these, using Lollipop method. Your babies are so light starved it hurts to see them.

Totally agree.
Dont waste cash on professional tools when you need proper lights

 

[psyclone]

Yo Nat. Just the way it is.

 

[emilio613]

Jeebus mary how much more light to I need!!!!!!!! ARGH! lol...I have a total of 6 bulbs in there all close to the plants....I dont knwo anyone selling these sodium lights here in valencia i could get to biking or walking or even a cheap cab ride away. The grow shops obviously jack up the prices, but i dont know any hardware stores here.

Can you get "warm light" CFL? check FAQ cfl growers, I don't know much about them.
