Don’t fill the cup to the top, when they stretch you could have add more soil for support instead of paper clips and twist ties.
Don’t add water til the cup is light, then water thoroughly, no mist bottle bullsh*t unless you want gnats. Good luck rookie.

Welcome to growing, and welcome to rollitup.

What advise do you require? Happy to help if I can.

I'd get that nice looking large CFL about 4 inches above them and do away with the other bulb if it was me.

Why did you start another thread?
Didn't you like the responses you got in the other one?

You need light. A cheap LED is easiest to set up and cheapest to operate.

You can make your plants stronger with a fan. I use a small USB fan.

Bellows work well but it makes your arms tired doing it all day long.

The way you are running power to those lights is about stupid and dangerous as hell.

Yeah the idea of electrical tape being used to connect wires in a damp environment is kind of of sketchy.

Not to mention the wire being used isn't designed to carry voltage.

You're right, it looks like speaker wire to me...most certainly not 14 gauge electrical wire

Proper fixtures are simple to buy that are designed to hold the bulbs you are using if you can't afford another light.

Yep, 6 or 7 way e27 photography splitters are a few dollars. I've got 6x14w 4000k household globes in a splitter packed away. Pulls 640umol at 14".

Literally $6 for the splitter. 84w of 4000k household globes got me this far. Switched to a 120w QB @ week 4 of flower.
