I know it is tough because of your money situation but it seems like you are starting to get up there with wattage already and your best bet would be to beg, borrow, or sell stuff to get a 250W HID light. Your plants will love you for it. Also, if you want to grow real good weed with awesome trichomes and yield, you need to either get some clones from somewhere or you can order seeds online. There are many reputable and stealthy sites to order from. You can order feminized seeds as well so you know there is a 99% chance that each seed will be female.

Don't get discouraged. My first grow was in an aerogarden. Yes, an aerogarden. I just had to use what was around the house. My next grows got progressively better but the one thing that will never change is that HID lights will always and forever be more efficient and grow more bud than CFL's. A 250 watt light will not raise your electric bill like crazy.

I know it is tempting to put your plants outside everyday the sun is out but you really should pick one spot and keep them there. The constant change in environments and light intensity is stressing them out. Try controlling your environment indoors where your plants are and your plants will be healthier and grow better. 75-80 degrees and 60-65% humidity. I know it seems daunting but it really helps to control the environment and keep it constant. Maybe you have some things around the house that you can use. Be creative, just like you are doing.

For your next time, ideally you want to transplant 0-1 times. You either start the plant in the pot she will finish in or start it in a smaller one and transplant into your final. Do your research on your soils as well. Many soils come with nutrients already in it and some with enough to last almost a month. Others come with nothing and that means you need to give it not only NPK but all the trace elements as well.

Now your plants look like they need nitrogen, however before you do anything, make sure your PH is correct. This is quite possibly the most important thing if you want a healthy plant. Many problems may look like nutrient deficiencies but they are really PH problems and feeding the plants more without correcting the PH will do a number on your plant. You can get PH kits with everything you need to change it for $15 on Amazon, local stores might be a little more. You want about 6.6 PH but you have to find out the PH of the soil you are using to know exactly what PH your water needs to be. There are many threads out there that explain how to do that.

If you are using tap water and you don't have a private well, you will want to leave your water out for a day to let all the chlorine evaporate. This is one easy and free method to get healthier plants.

It is a learning process. You will get better with every grow as long as you study up and put that new knowledge into growing ever better bud.

Mr. Vape escape,

sorry but i don't have cash to buy HID, and if ever i have i would probably install it in my car, (well actually it is a family car but i am the one who is always using it). hehe.

but i would really love to try that. i'll try to look for things inside the house that would help my plants to grow a lot more (things that my mom / brother / sister won't be using it). but the problem is if i will be using some HID HPS or Mh, i need someone or a timer, ballasts, cool tubes and some fire extinguisher to turn it on and off so that i will not have trouble if it explodes. (i don't want to fire on my mom's house, she will really get mad and won't allow me ever again to plant inside my room). or if ever i will be using some HID or HPS or MH bulbs i want to have an own house or a mini place where i can put them and don't have worry about fire.

yep, i want to learn more, i tend to forget some things here that i have already read before, and also some of the suggestions / comments of the people here at RIU.

that is why i am reading it all over again and again and again. :)

i have a little problem, we know that sun is the best light than anything,

but the problem is it's hot in here, so which one's better?

just put them in sunlight or put them in my growcloset and turn on my lights and just put the fan directly to them so that it will not be getting to hot for them.

the temps here go between 30 degrees Celsius to 35

You had me laughing at 'A fire extinguisher to turn it on and off', but the part about your mom will really get mad and probably never let you plant again is very true.:roll:

Mr. Bakatare666 and Mr./Ms.iloveyousweetleaf,

i am thinking of that you are only one person, and just logging in and logging out. hehe.

Nope, sorry.
I'm me, and me only.
Anyway, having and using multiple accounts is frowned upon I believe.

Correct, natural sun is best, and those temps even 30 is too warm really.
You need to get your fan low, blowing upwards and try to circulate some of that hot air out of your closet.

As I mentioned towards the beginning of your thread (I think, maybe I didn't), My grow, using 305w of CFL's, didn't even raise my bill by $10/ month.
No, I don't know Sweetleaf, and yes, I think you're getting paranoid for some reason.;-)feb26pic10_zps75b75d74.jpg

nice plant you got there. please gimme some of those buds. :hump:

later i'ma go to a hardware store and maybe look for some lights, but i won't be buying them, i'll just check out the prices, so that when i have already cash, i can easily recognize on what's the cheapest light to buy.

yeah i think i'm getting a little paranoid because i don't have weed to smoke on or even a pipe load, even if i have, i really can't for some really important reasons. :(

Stay focused young man!
This should only be a hobby for you at the moment.:clap:
You seem to be doing really well, obeying your mom's wishes, continuing your studies, etc.
That's why everybody is being so eager to help you, because you are not coming accross as a snot nose cocky teen, trying to sneak a grow without mommy finding out.
BTW, if you look on the side of the box, it will tell you an annual projected cost to run the bulb.
I did some quick math, and for what I ran last grow of CFL, it was less than $6.50/ month.
