Hi,
Decided that it was too dangerous and expensive to bring back some samples from Amsterdam to the UK so am trying my first grow (much to the wife's disgust who now seems to see me as a hardened crim). So bought 5 easy kush seeds and stuck 2 of them in a jamjar with wet tissue. Then set about making a box to fit my attic and ordered a 200W CFL (dual spec). All went well at first seeds sprouted and I planted the other 3, 2 days later. I ended up with 4 seedlings but at 1 week disaster my CFL blew scattering glass evrywhere. I put the seedlings in the conservatory for a few days while a new CFL + spare arrived. Then decided on a whim that what I needed was a 90W LED UFO. Put the plants under this and the leaves turned yellow. Thinking they weren't getting enough light I moved it closer and almost burned all the leaves off the plants (see pics). Went back to CFL and they recovered but remained short (guess intense light has the opposite effect to stretching). Now on 12/12 after 5 weeks veg. Using HPS with reflector made from wifes mixing bowl (she will not be happy) will keep more pics coming if anyone is interested. Cheers All and Good Luck with your projects
