Will be stating a journal soon and quick. On day 4 of a afghan regular seed and money maker feminized. Pictured is the money maker. In MG all purpose soil with Perlite, was on a 23w 5000k cfl and a 23w 2700k cfl. Just double the bulbs on each. I have them so why not, right?! I am a newbie so is it normal for it to grow tall like this, shell was stuck on it the day before up to day 3.

Put every one of them on your plant. Every CFL you have and get then right on top without burning them. A thermometer in an enclosed space is recommended.

Mmmmmmmm it should be just fine as long as you have a fan blowing the plants around I've got a box I made just for starting seeds it's 18 inches deep just as wide and just over 3 feet tall I can start 13 with plenty extra room I light it with 4 23 watt 6500k 1600 lumen bulbs and that does just fine for starting I've never tried to light a bigger space though but I keep my cfl's 4 fingers away from the plant but I raised em way up today about 16 in or so just to see what happens but the main thing is having a fan that moves enough air to make the little sprouts dance in the wind it helps the stems harden up

She looks fine. Watch how you water that thing i see a water line in the cup. 23 watts 5000-6700k at around 3-6" should be more then enough for a week of good growth. Pick up that damn shell lol

Starting to look better at Day 7, seems on the small side but much bigger than its Money Maker strain feminised friend in the same room. Does it looks a good size. Its about 2 Inches tall and loves reaching for the light but they are close enough at a few inches away. The tips of the bottom leaves are a tiny yellow.

and don't get the soil so wet.. all a little seedling like that needs is a tiny bit of water near the base of the stem.

let it mostly dry out in-between waterings.

having a seedling sit in damp soaked dirt for days isn't good for it.. and it will look sickly if you don't water it properly.

Do you think a little water every 2-4 days will be good. I know that's depending on the plant. I will watch to see how much water they drink up.

No need for posting multiple post in the same subject and same plants. Just ask all your questions in the first thread that u started asking why the shell of the seed was stuck in and u wanted to get it out. Be patient people eventually will chim in an help. And stop overwatering. Lol. Best of luck!!!

no its not depending on the plant.

marijuana plants like to be mostly dry between waterings. when its mostly dry.. u water. just look at it.pick it up.if the cup/pot is real light and it looks dry.. water.. if not.. don't
