So far this is my first time growing. i have these plants set up inside my desk. i lined the inside of it with tin foil and i have a CFL light in there, i water them every two days and they look like they are doing good. how long will they take to get more bigger than this? how do they look?

tin foil is a NO NO for 1, they look a lil stretched out? wen u transplant bury them a lil deeper.


that tin foil will burn ur leafs th
o.

mylar based material works great, but white paint will work too.


they might be stretching from that light being far away from them?

they look healthy but what lighting are u using?? They do look stretched from the looks of it your using a cfl prolly since u have a lamp sitting in there and only cfls will fit in a lamp, and if ur using a cfl u need it to be like 2 inches from the tops of your plants cfls put out almost no heat and will not burn your plants. I also second the tin foil you can go pick up some mylar stuffs its super cheap more efficent and will not burn ur plants like tin foil or even if the walls are white white paints works awesome as well u can always paint the inside of your grow space white if it is not already white

I had to do this same thing on my first grow i used a light with a cfl. What u do is the socket where u screw the cfl into can unscrew from the lamp itself. Unscrew the socket from the actual lamp and then u can get a string or some wire or anything that u can tie up and hang the loose socket from and then screw your cfl into that. Does that make sense. All u need to do is just detach the socket from the lamp, Which most lamps are able to do, and rig something to hang just the socket from and then screw your cfl in

oh okay, now judgein my the size of my plants so far, how much longer do you think they will take to get bigger and actually start to flower?

you induce flowering by yourself by switching the lights to 12/12 which measn 12 hours on and 12 hours off. You should let them veg under 24 hours light or 18 hours light and 6 hours off for atleast 2 more weeks then you can switch to 12/12 and start to flower. But the longer you let them veg under 24/0 or 18/6 the bigger they will get and the more bud you will get in the long run but i would say atleast 2 more weeks then you could switch to 12/12 and flower if you wanted. But get that light about 2 inches from the top of those things and your going to need more then that one cfl you can buy cfls and just the sockets to screw them into at a store for like 30 bnucks and get like 2-4 more of them

In all actuality when you change your plants to 12/12(flower) they grow ALOT in the first week or 2. Mine prolly grew up half the size they originally were before flower. So think of it like this as a guideline. If you let your plant get 2 feet tall in your veg. stage then you're prolly going to have a 3-3 1/2 foot tall plant. and yes at that size you very well could have the most superb buds in the WORLD mwhahahahaaha. Yes they would be good but all depends on your seed strain too,.

Ya if you want your plant to be no larger then 4 feet tall i would let it grow to be about 1 1/2--2 feet you have to assume the plant can double and even triple in size during flowering. my grow space only allows me to have plants that are no taller then 29 inches and i get amazing buds and a good amount. As long as you get some more lighting on them and take care of those things you will get some great bud. Just get them there light and give them some love and you will be good
