Experimental bag seed wtf grow.

I've always had a green thumb through out my life. So when I found 4 seeds on my last sack I was like WTF? seeds? really? By this time I was already feeling really good and I thought hey I'll just stick them right here into this pot (I had a pot with a Money tree growing right by my computer). So 2 days later I had totally forgot that I had put the seeds in that pot so when I looked up and seen little seedlings peeking up at me I was pretty excited.

I had them in that pot for almost 3 weeks and they were looking really shitty. they were getting VERY stretched, and new leaf grow was crawling. Not to mention they were lime/yellow in color. All I had was ONE CFL 13 Watt on them. I felt like I had to save em, just to see if it was even possible. So I totally removed them from that soil (was moldy). I gently ran water to remove all the soil from the roots, I also had to separate the plants since they were pretty much planted together. I re-potted all four in the same pot (all I had). I fed them some miracle grow and have 4 23 watt CFL on them. now I think they are looking on the up n up.

What more can I do to get these on the right track? (Besides spending lots of money on HID HPS lighting). I'm on a budget.

They are in a PC box now and need advise on how to keep em small.

Edit:
BTW These are are 1 month old

hi they are probably stretching because they dont have enough light. they are fighting to get closer to the light you had. you will need more light, search for LST which is a way of tying the plant down to growthe way you want.

Lst would probably be your best bet!

Check out the cfl section and there's a PC section that I think would help you a lot!

You can grow decent buds with cfl's, you just havve to read!

you have a nute diff and u need to put them in seperate pots for now u can u large plastic cups called party cups
the wattage of lights r fine for just the moment except u have wrong spectrum it looks like are they cool whites? what spectrun and u need to mount lights on side so they r horizontal u are wasting light like u have them but i think u got wrong bulb fix these issues or u will never smoke anything from these plants
if u want to grow do some reading on here no one can tell u how to grow but they will help u but if u dont do research they wont do it all for u, i dont mind but others get pissed and wont help

Those 3 cfls OK for now...eventually more bulbs..
but for now they shouls stop stretching..if anything find ways to elevate them.

mystery BS grows are fun.. i collect all the BS from times that i unfortunately have to cop weed.. sometimes i germ a few for fun because when i store them i dont label.. so its fun!
i also bonsai evry BS so if its somethin i want i can have it bon mummed already.
just recently i found 2 of my mysteries (i flwred 1 of each) were OG kush and GDP. I was Hyped!! Needless to say they are very likely F2's.. so i dumped the GDP mum..ill get a real clone in CA oneday.. but for now i want the OG.. F2 or not
bottom line .. Mystery grows are fun. OGK rules! ;)

I agree, there's just to much your missing..

If you don't have 2700k cfl's for flowering then you need to get some. If you worried about height, I hope you are on a 12/12 cycle already. Look into lst and/or topping. "If you don't know what type of cfl's you have, they say it right on the bulb usually.."

Thats why, to many problems.. If they weren't all fighting for root space it would be a little easier to help.

Hey Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate them. I think there was some confusion on chronological order of the pictures, which is my fault for not uploading in proper order. They are no longer stretching but ARE stretched because of the lighting conditions they had to deal with before (not like its any better). They are currently a on 3 23watt 2.7k Soft White, running 24hrs. I now know I should have got the daylight, it was confusing because some CFLs light at home depot that said Daylight were spec @ 2.7k so I thought I was getting the correct ones, false information (e.g. http://tinyurl.com/29b8agm). I have put some advise to use already and setup the light sideways. And for the nuts I have MG All Purpose 24-8-16.

yes u need daylight keep them on 24/7 hey dont feel bad i made that same mistake first time and u can get by with those nutes but what is the dosage i would use quarter strength
but most important get them out of that pot they need seperate pots or roots will tangle use solo party cups for now with small drain holes poked in bottom just dont use any clear containers and if u are going to stay with the pc grow u need to find how they keep them small

Im glad to see u got right one these issues and are taking steps to fix it and take us having a little fun with u some get mad and defensive
+ rep for your attitude and if u have anymore ? ask
