Okay please don't make fun of them my first time grow. They are really long looking and windy the keep limpin like a limp dick and I have to use straws to support them. I just replanted them today. Some of the leaves look like yellowish and even like black spots on one. Not sure what that means. their about 3 weeks old. I'm afriad I might be over-watering. I havent started to give them nutrients yet. I planted in peat moss. I got these seeds just out of some regular stuff i bought. 18 hr of light & 4 hr of dark. when do i change light cylce when do i start to add nutrients and do you think i'm overwatering or maybe even under watering? help your babygirl.. ​

what kind of lights are you using m8? w/e they are, they are way too far away from the plants, which is what is causing them to be all lanky like that.. lower the bulbs much much closer to the plants and that should help..
i'd also start a light feed regime, about 1/4 dose of what it says to use on w/e bottle you're using, and every week to ten days bump it up by 1/4 till you get to full dose or you see the tips start to burn first.. if the tips start to burn, back off a bit on the nutes..

Looks good so far. Check some of the newb threads and do some searches. You can find the answers to your questions.

also, i'd replant them and bury that long stem all the way down so it's down to the first set of leaves.. that way you can dump the straws and they will do much better when you bring the lights down..

As was said... move lights closer. I suggest getting a pH meter (avail for around $30) so you will know the pH of the water you are giving your plants. Marijuana likes slightly acidic (pH around 6.0 to 6.3) if water is 8 or higher your plants will tell you that they do not like it. Also at this age, I would suggest that they are in need of nutes.
Also, points for using the phrase "Like a limp dick". I like girls who talk like that.

you need to get a small fan to give them a light breeze. that will help strengthen the stems. read the packaging on your dirt or whatever to see if it has any nutes in it already. make sure the coffee cans have drainage holes. and you only need to water when the soil gets dry. i just stick my finger in the dirt a little. like maybe half an inch and see if the dirt is wet.

p.s. i've never tested my ph. indoors or out and i've never had a problem. lol.

 

[grorite]

are you doing a cfl grow? if so how many actual watts do you got? but like was said repot and bury the stem a lil and get the light closer or get more also think about doing so lst or some sort of training

LOL... I used to not test my pH and I did have a problem... LOL
But when I tested it and corrected it... problem was solved... LOL

i'm another non soil ph testing fool, lol.. after seeing the trees fdd2black grew and him saying he never owned a ph meter, lol, i stopped testing mine..

 

[friendlyperson92]

i just used tap water and hose water. and if you can see the plant in my picture, that beast just grew from hose water. don't waste the 30$ until you start having a ph problem lol..

Babygirl... we sure are a jolly bunch aren't we... LOL...
Those who happen to have water that is at an acceptable pH will never need a pH meter and will laugh their damn heads off LOLing all day long.
If you DO have a pH issue with your water, and have no meter, you will never identify it. And you won't be LOLing.

Is replanting really necessary I mean I don't mind if their long if you know what I mean lol jk. But seriously I don't want to replant those bitches. cause i have finaly weened them off the support of straw. then after i replanted todat they got real limp so I had to put straws back up. btw i'm on a ghetto budget so I am using like one of those lights guys use out doors that are like portable n shit in like a rectangle shape. So just trying to save some money on buying stuff cuz im broke. Don;t have money to really invest in this project. And I told my bf light needs to be closern he was like now and nailed it up high so im gonn have to make him fix it. ughh. i knew i was right. muah

 

[grorite]

if its a cfl you want it 2in away can you find a pic of your light and post it up so we know what your working with

LOL... You won't know that you have a pH problem though... LOL because you won't have a pH meter. LOL.
Not everyone's tap water is the same. If luck is on your side yours will be perfect and you'll never even have a problem like these wonderful growers who grow trees and LOL. However, if you do have a pH issue... these geniuses will diagnose your problem as everything from Nitrogen deficiency to Iron deficiency, etc. You'll add a dash of this and a dash of that... and guess what LOL if your pH is fucked all that stuff won't help. Funny huh? First hand experience speaking here Darlin.

it's not needed, no, just a suggestion like everything else on here..

if your bf doesn't want to move the light, you can always put shit under the pots to move them closer to the lights.. w/e is easiest really..
of you could just put a foot up your bf's ass and tell him to get to getting, lol... or you could always do the threat of withholding sex till he get's his shit together, lol.. i don't really recommend that one though..

I have some bad news for you. You will not achieve any results that you're gonna like without proper lights. You do not have sufficient lights at this time to see you thru the flowering phase of your grow.

lmfao i just dont want them to die though ya know. and do you thinks this light n shit will work?

 

[Baby.girl.smokes.420]

Ok fine when do I need to upgrade my lighting? and where can I get a cheap one online that plugs in to regular light bulb socket.

 

[racerboy71]

can you take a pix of the light girly?/ not quite sure, but have an idea of what light you have, just want to be sure...

also, you can use those spiral shaped bulbs that plug into a regular light fixture.. look for the biggest wattage ones you can find.. the more bulbs the better btw..
