Someone on reddit told me to check my pH because it can cause deformities, so I tested my water and it was over 7.6. Lesson: if seedling looks freakish, check your pH.

Looks like I have some 3-point leaves growing out of the same node that the original leaves grew out of: Do I need to move the light up just a little so they can stretch more and have more room for growth?

Hey man, I'm a novice myself but I have heard that anything called "topsoil" should be avoided. That would be my best guess as to why your seedlings aren't taking off quickly. That also looks like the one major difference between my grow and yours. How much is the FFOF where you live? For $20 I...

1 Week Update Here's my seedling: I had two 105W 6500K bulbs coming in the mail, but one showed up broken. So today I put my plant directly under my one working 105W bulb, with two 23W bulbs on one side. Here are pics of the new set-up: So my concerns are: 1. Heat. I'm checking the...

Thanks dude. Wasn't going to bump the thread today but if there's already activity I might as well post an update:

Thanks, that's great to hear! Looking good in this pic from today, those leaves grow fast: Also Weeds that Please was a huge help in my research, that site rocks.

Thanks mate! Subbed to you as well. I'm playing the Muslim call to prayer 5 times a day in the grow room and I think it's making her feel at home. Growing strong and healthy so far.

First true leaves showing up:

It's alive! Looking a little sickly though maybe? The cotyledons haven't really opened up for about 12 hours and the top one looks a little yellow. Any tips or am I just worrying way too much?

Yeah I realized how great this closet would be with the white walls, and that shelf comes apart perfectly to form a little lip to clamp the light on over the cup. Thanks for the luck! Quick growth would be good news, I don't want to grow that big so I guess I will just have my buds sooner! Haha...

Sure thing, thanks, I forgot to add tags. Great, based on all I've heard I think I will use the standard "knuckle test" but also give the top a little spray when it looks dry.

Hello! After getting some questions answered here I got my seeds and have successfully germinated the one I will use for my first try, a KC Brains Northern Lights Special. I planted it about a quarter inch down, with the taproot oriented like this picture: I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest...

What is the wattage on the CFLs?

Can't grow outside unfortunately, I live in a big city with little privacy in my yard. Hmm okay right now I am leaning toward getting an 85W bulb (or maybe 125) to set above the plant and using my 4 23W bulbs to light around the sides. I am not concerned with a giant yield if I can spend less...

Hey guys, sorry but I have one more question to start with. If I just bought 6 85W 6500K CFLs for a total of 510 W to be on the safe side, would that work out? I have heard there is no such thing as too much light (other than a ridiculous level) but I'm not sure. EDIT: So now I am thinking of...

I will definitely get on it with respect to adding light. I forgot to mention that when the plant gets tall, I will remove the shelf and just stack boxes under the plant so it can reach the light fixture.

Haha damn I will go for a higher wattage I guess. What about vegetating? If I got some 105W bulbs like these could I vegetate with 3 or 4 of them? So like 6 6500K 23W bulbs and 2 2300K? Or 4 6500K 23W bulbs and 2 2300K?

Re-think as in more lights like jman23 said, or something else?

Cool, thank you! About how many more of these 23W CFLs should I get to start with?

Hello. I tried growing from bagseed once before, but my plant lived only a few days. Here is as far as it got: After a few days it stretched out and died. I was using natural sunlight and putting it under a single CFL at night. I examined the bulb later and found it was only 23W, 2700K, so I...
