Im growing a couple bagseed plants right now under 1 150 watt cfl, 1 100 watt cfl, and 1 60w cfl. My plants recently got smashed my my crazy ass fiance but have since then stood back up and seem to be doing fine what do you think? also one of my plants is growing another plant in the soil is this marijuana or somerthing else? i also just planted a Nirvana Auto Bubblelicious and will post pics of it when it breaks soil. Please all input will be appreciated remember this is my first grow so please give advise.

I have been watering every other day. I had just watered them right before i took the pics. Should i not be watering so often?

sorry was a quick read, just get the lights just a few inches away. what are the dimensions of your area? do you have ventilation? and is there drainage holes in your pots?

dude i know u think your helping but u gotta quit wattering its going to take prolly 10 days for those pots to dry out ....plants that size just dont use much water and u be better off not to wet the leaves .......... i water full size plants in that size pot maybe every four or five days .......... u have to get those lights close or your going to be dealing with even more stretching ..........stretching is bad your going to end up with a 6 foot plant thats got ten leaves on it ........... we want short plants with lots of tops inside

Alright ill stop watering for a while. i wasnt sure exactly how often it was needed. and i have moved the lights to about an inch away from the plants. i appreciate all the advise. is there anything else left out i should know or anything about my small setup i should change?

wait till the top soil is visibly dry then poke your finger an inch down then check the soil again, also ima assume your closet is 2x2x4. ok now thts 16 cubic feet its estimated tht you should have around 3000 lumens per cubic foots, so for good dense bud your looking at 48,000 lumens for dense bud, other wise its going to be mad fluffy.,

and be careful with side lighting, the top of your plants will leans towards the most lighting, so if you have too much light on the side, the you have sideways plants

Its been 2 days since my last update and i must say i have been taking the advice ive been givin on here and my plant has had a small growth spurt. check the pics out of them now. The sprout is 6 days from seed. Its been 3 days since i planted my auto Bubblelicious from Nirvana and it hasnt broke soil yet. By now is it safe to think its a bad seed?

no dont call it bad. i just germed some seeds and it took one of them over 6 days to crack in the wet paper towel method. some seeds take a bit longer than others. make sure the soil stays good and moist too. untill it preaks (dont saturate the soil just keep it moist)

all in all your plants look great. it is really east to over water in these first stages of growth and believe it or not they grow faster with less water. no other advice for ya the rest of the visitors have already covered everything. your doing a good job :)

oh and one more thing. not sure how long them plants have been in those pots but u prob will need to transplant withing a couple weeks. find the biggest container you can fit all of you plants in your space with, like u have 3 plants obviously you dont want containers so big you can only fit 2 in your grow area. but the biggest pots and still being able to fit them all in.
