well they wher looking good,this morning i woke up and there were kinda droopy..well really droopy actualy,on the white castle the all the tops actualy drooped over.i read somewere that when they want water not only will the leaves droop but the stems too.
so i watered them today and a few hours later the stems seemed more perky but not so much the leaves,so im not so sure what the deal is wit them right now. other than the drooping they look ok

when the soil goes too dry it will lose some of its water holding properties, the next time u water put a drop or two of some dawn dish soap in the water, it will bring back the soil to its water holding state, or u can dunk the pots in a larger contaier and water from the bottom up, let them sit up to the top in the water for a few minutes, then let them drain for like 20-30 mins, that will work as well. let me know how it goes.

whats up everyone i just put them into flower a few hours ago.(after trying and failing a couple weeks ago) i got a 250w ballast and bulb in now i figured with my poor ventilation anything more would be too much for my setup..its been on for a few hours now and the temps were up to about 90F with out the plants in there(just wanted to test the temps on nothing rather than my babies) so i adjusted the light as far away as i could and directed the small fan directly over the top of the canopy .its down to 85F between the light and the canopy..wich i think is fine for now,but im not sure whats gna happen when they begin to stretch cause i cant move them any further away than they already are..

lets see what happens:confused:

my journal is most def the wrongg place for this,but ill give my 2cents...
first get the foil out..you want mylar..if you cant get mylar i would use flat white poster board over foil..second,get bigger and better bulbs,those look like 13 watters,let me guess 2700k?,3000k?..swap all those out for 5000k-6500k,you can keep some warm spectrum also if you want.you need more than 4 cfls,unless there going to be like 60 actual watts each or better. so get like 4 42w at 6500k or somthing like that.also,for that size box you need a few more of those pc fans,also a desk fan to direct at the plant(s)..temp/humidity meter,you want the temps at 70f-80f lights on,and 5-15 degree drop is fine for lights off.humidity at arounf 50% for veg,then down to like 30% in flower,and by that time your going to want the box light tight,no leaks...dont get me wrong if you plant seeds there,they will grow..but if your going to do it,try and do it right i always say..you've a ways to go my freind.goodluck!
