Is there somewhere you can buy spray paint? That tin foil absorbs light. You should line the walls with flat white paint if you can.

Oh shnap..it does? i didnt know I thought it would hep reflect and keep it nice and bright...spray paintintg the closet walls isnt an option. Their colour is like a cream white...I'll give u a pic below of the real colour:

Think its ok? or am I better off buying construciton paper and putting it up? (man that would be so much work, remove lights, rmeove plants, and then put up papaer and rebuild everything lol) :neutral:

yeah a meter

if they have that 3 in one for cheap get it, or a ph/moisture. or some sort of test kit.

mylar if you can. cheap , like 18usd/roll for a good like 24'x4' roll. That will reflect all the light you want.

for now thats all i can think of

yeah man take that tin foil off. The white walls you have are better and will reflect more light than that tin foil. Alot of people make that mistake by putting tin foil up thinking it will reflect the light. In some cases the tin foil can actually kill the plants.

Ok so the foil is gone now.

I am SOOO frustrated tho. i mean its annoying seeing other people post with plants that arre like enourmous after 4-5 weeks and then, looking at my shitty wimpy plants, discourages me.

Does anyone think they will still yield anything? Or am I wasting me time?

Someone encourage me here, everything is going worng in my life, aleast the plants could cheer me up :) :cry:

Should i start seeing improvements in about a week with the new set up?

yeah soil takes some time to show responses be patient but you can always restart and apply what you have learned.
Wait a week and reassess

Ok so heres my current set up i took down the foil, and it should be better now. I saw some improvement in some fo the plants, and the skunk one can stand on its own now, meaning its stem is firmer.

So i went to the grow store...they had one moisture meter lol..it was broken so I have to wait a week about to buy one.

And they had no pH kits..maybe the agrden store will have it.

Don't spend on moisture meters-watering is simple simple simple. You need light. Cheapest I have found iis a 70watt Sodium security light, Screwfix Direct £26.99.Mr Bricolage will have them. A cheap timer (Graslinn GRASP24 will do it) and you are off and away. a guy called Addy managed 3 plants each giving 3/4 oz's dry with one of these, using Lollipop method. Your babies are so light starved it hurts to see them.
