Hey everyone, new to the site. A friend told me everyone here is real kooh bout helping out newbies. I've had my MJ Card for a year and thought maybe start my own personal grow station. I recently got this Bubble Gum Kush Clone and have 4 Hindu kush germinated seedlings that I recently planted 3 days ago. I think I need help. It seems that the germinated seedlings aren't doing anything yet and they been in the soil for 3 days and my bubble gum seems to be growing slow plus it keeps changing from forming 5 leaves to 3 back and forth although it still looks healthy. I know you might need the pictures to look @ and help determine so I will place those after this. Please help me.

what kind of lights you using??? size of the pots, how much you water??? the thing with the leaves is probably just a genetic mutation, I wouldn't worry too much about it...

I've been using this grow bulb I got from the plant store, It's from GE that outputs 2700 Lumens. I water it like every other couple days (when the soil feels crustie) , I fertilize like 2/week. I use Fox Farm Big Bloom with Bat Guano (high N). The pot are big enough I'm sure maybe 2 big lol.

Where does 1 get panda film or mylar? And then what kind of bulb is better and where can I purchase it?
Click to expand...
you can get panda film from a local hydro store (if available) and the mylar can be found at some hardware stores...try some cfl's (compact flourescents) cool white spectrum, you'll need a few, depending on wattage, nothing smaller than 23 watts though...these can also be found at a hardware store...

It's ok to use, but that particular spectrum is not prefered for the vegetative stage, and will cause some node spacing...but it's more beneficial too your plants in the flowering stage...

I posted this in another thread. These sockets just clamp onto the wire (and come with hangers), I made 3 - 18" strings with 3 sockets each in under 15 min. put the Y Socket and you have 6 bulbs on a string. (I put 6 down the center and 3 lower on each side) 6 - 23w and 6 - 26w.



Here is what you need for standard socket bases.

The socket just clamp on the wire and you can put mutipal sockets on one wire. No tools or cutting required.
