Thanks for the answer, W1taker. I was thinking in going 20/4 1 week, then 16/8 another week, and then 12/12 and changing light type to 23 w CFL 2700 K. I still do not know if I should just use 2700 K on flowering or both CFLs, but, on the top of that, I still don't know when flowering should be...

So, as I said, I'm in day 26 right now. I have to mention one thing: No nutes were ever given to the plant Current Day: 26 Temperature: 26 degrees Celsius (78,8 degrees Fahrenheit) Plant's Height: 23,5 cm (9,25 inches) Light Cycle: still 24/24 Light Distance: 12-15cm(5-6 inches) - I still have...

Here I go. This is my first grow and I started with one single plant. I already started a few threads in some other areas, but I'll just update any other notices in here. So, what do I have ? Setup Light: 1 x 23 w CFL - 6500 K - 1500 lumen Light Cycle: 24/24 Environment: Cardboard box - 50cm...

Plant's Age: 20 days. Soil: normal flower soil Light Period: 24/24 Light Type: 23 w cfl, 6500 K, 1500 Lumen Pot Size: 7 L || 2.2 gallons (aprox) Water: 1 L || 0.3 gallons (aprox) Temperature: 26-32 degrees Celsius || 78-91 degrees Fahrenheit Fans: 1 little 12x12 fan for stem consolidation...

As I mentioned. There is only one type of soil in my country. Crazy or not, that's the fact. The only difference is that one soil type is for violets, one for roses, etc. But the effective difference is none :) Contrary to our new touristic song "Romania, the land of choice" :lol:

Ok, that was kind of false alarm. Day 15 here, and my plant looks ok I think :)

This is not about soil. I'm using normal flower soil, the only one available in my country (no miracle grow, no perlite, no other thing). But the soil was very ok for the plant until this morning. The actual problem is that if I remove that stick, the plant will fall down at an instant. Maybe...

I need some help here because I don't know how to handle this thing. My plant was ok until today. This morning I found it laying down (I really suspect it was my gf cat's fault ... I'll have to talk to her later about why was the cat in the growroom). Anyway, I used a stick to sustein the plant...

Just as a question: I still use the 23 W, 1500 lumen, 6500 K cfl. Should I buy another one for more light ? Or is it ok for this stage ?

Well, I found out I didn't fucked it up :) I was forced to switch my plant's location because of some housekeeping, and I hope the jurney didn't stressed it up. The problem in this new location is that the temperature reaches 82-90 F and there is very poor humidity level. Any ideas what should...

Here I am again for another question. I know this will sound stupid, but I never did it before, so I just don't know how to do it. When I replant, I have to clean the roots of the old soil on them, or just take the soil part on the roots and integrate it in the new soil mixture ? Beside that...

Perhaps. But that does not apply here in Romania :lol:

Well ... just as you said, the upper leafs grew some more and now my plant seems to be curving under its own weight ... I put a stick to support its weight, but still am afraid of collapsing. I'll be able to get a fan no sooner than tomorrow, so I'm just hoping she will survey. Do you think the...

As a matter of fact I don't have a fan yet. Though, this is somehow replaced by the open window and the air that blows (somehow gently) from it. I didn't know about this need, so thanks a lot. I'll buy a fan. Regarding the light system, I'm affraid that cfls are the only option that fits my grow...

Thanks all. I bought a 23 W cfl at 6500 K and 1500 lumen. My plant looks like this now (8 day)

Ok, sorry for insistance, but I'm starting to get worried. The cfl I bought has some sort of warm light (orange-white if you know what I mean). Is this the spectrum for vegetative stage ? Because if it's not, then I'm having a problem and it means I just started flowering on my 7 days old plant...

Damn. I need help. I think I'ved fucked it up :| The cfl I bought is red-lighted (so I though it was 6500 K - but it seems to be 2700 or something). Damn manufacturers. On my envelope there is no kelvin specification. My 7 days plant is going to flower and be damaged given the fact that I...

Oh, damn. Then I just fucked it up :| I'm sorry

"General concensus seems to be blue spectrum for vegging and red spectrum for flowering." - Are you sure that one is right ? As far as I know, red spectrum is for vegging (miming summer sunlight) and blue spectrum for flowering (miming autumn light). If I'm mistaking I'll just have to...

[UPDATE] Ok, I set up the cfl. In the meantime I'm attaching photos of the little buddy from today. Thanks for replies btw :P
