As tha title says this is my first attempt at growing. im using 2, 2ft, floresent 20watt tubes, just regular soil and miracle grow plant food cuz thats all i have availble at this time. My one plant is around a week old and i have other seeds germinating. so any advice or input would be nice!:leaf::leaf:


about a week old. is it too small or no? (sry for tha crappy cell pics) and when should i move it to a regualr pot?:?:

You can move to regular pot now........ doesnt really matter.... u can start with a huge pot and never repot... or start with smaller, small then bigger.. i prefer using 1 pot... :) for evrything......

U should buy some more lights.... maybe look at buying a 500dollar setup with a hps light, cooltube - growbox........ and accesoires included :)

heh

it looks okay, I thought I saw abit of a burn on the leaf tipbongsmilie.....but it could just be my eyes....i really doubt there much of a root system there to worry about transplanting yet, however I would put hella more soil/perlite in there, it's stretching like crazy...just lower the lights a tad, and everything goooooooood:joint::eyesmoke:

Just my .02 cents man, just going by what I have learned here.

Yeah, just add a few more lights as the plant gets bigger. Look for some 42w CFL bulbs, they're like 5 bucks. Also I don't believe it's stretching, it just sprouted lol.

Good shit. You'll definetly want some more light once you start flowering. Any idea on the lumen output of those bulbs? By the way who the hell gave me negative rep lol who does that.

Haha I know I don't care about the rep. Just wondering if I said something wrong. I'm here to help and to learn. So it's annoying to get -rep for something and not know why. Speak up!

I've never heard of 24/7 slowing growth? If anything I thought it helps. Actually the only real diffrence I've read about 24/7 vs. 18/6 is saving electricity lol. They will be fine either way.
