Tell Me What Yall Think And Giv Advice Ima Keep Everyone Updated Every Otha Day.

Veg them under 24/0 for at least like 2 weeks. If there is one thing I've learned it's that a little vegging time in the beginning goes a long way. But, if you are really set on 18/6 then keep em under 18/6 for a long time until you really get flowering.

Its Looks To Me Like Early Stretching Do Nebody Think So Should I Move The Bulbs Closer Or Is It Cew?

Just Check Em Out Today Plants About 2 1/2 Inches From Bulb. They Are Same Hieght But The Stems Are Strong And Gained Little More Width Since Las Pics.

So much wasted light! Oh well. Plants still grow in the dark. 20/4, 18/6, or 16/8 all good choices. 24 hour light stunts growth. I'm experimenting with 12/4 for veg('1.5 days' per 24 hours).

Wat You Mean TeaTreeOil So Much Light Wasted And My Plants Aren't On 24 hr They On 18/6

Some one Answer My Quesion About My Plant Whos Roots Broke Off Do Yall Think It Wil Survive It Change Colors A Lil But Not A Lot And Hav Not Grown Any Like The Others Lately Replies Needed New Pics Comin 2mar

I'm just saying you're doing good there. No reason to change up.

One thing I'd suggest, and the easiest way I see of doing it is taking a pretty big FLAT piece of cardboard That's twice as many inches wider than it is hung above the light.(so one inch between the top of the lights, and where the cardboard will hang; give two inches overhang on each side).

Then slice a slit into the cardboard from edge to center so you can slide it onto the cord they're hanging off of & center it. Once you get that positioned nicely, take it off, and cover it with aluminum foil, shiny-side out(I'd suggest regular glue, but tape works). Leave that slit!

Then replace it and put some (duct) tape on the slit(the cardboard side, not aluminum) to and around the cord to keep it on the cord.

It won't be the prettiest, but aluminum is a great reflector, and lights are probably nearly 1.8-1.9x as effective using it within an inch or so. And will stop you from losing half your light to the 'air'.

it will be stunted really bad...how would you feel if someone ripped your legs off? fortunately the plants might grow back eventually...

Yea, I'd say it'll most likely die without root stimulant and cloning procedures.

I Was Thinking Of Giving It A Little Bit Of Nutrients Do Yall Think That Would Be A Good Idea?
