At 24 days old they should have alot more growth on them. I'm subbed, curious what the solution to this will be.
I'm guessing they need more light/you putting light closer to them.

yup light is as close as it can get :D i am probably going to get more lights... sooner or later. Ill just keep vegging them under that till they get a bit bigger. Can't wait to flower em' :)

You'll definitely want more light for flowering, but you've heard that already. Have you considered getting some Y Splitters? They're real cheap and make good use of sockets.

Hey Tpimp, not to be the sound of a broken record, but you need more lights. if you live near a lowes you can get a 6 pack of 26 actual wattage/1750 lumens soft white bulbs for less than $10.00. You will be much happier. then all you do is buy 3 of the splitters for $2.50 a piece, and for less than $20.00 you have exponentially grown your lights. these two grows yielded an oz or better off that many lights or less.

Well as long as you keep vegging them it should be fine.

shit i would be doing the same thing, like i always say, if all i had was a crack in the sidewalk to grow, i would :mrgreen:

yeah tpimp, i understand too. just vegg them for like 2 months and you will pull something off. i will stick around for it though. maybe you could put it in front of a window that gets a lot of sun with the lights on it.

hhaha thanks for the support. i live in the center and here the buildings are very crowded so or someone would see it or it wouldnt get enough sunlight. But... I might resort to stealing bulbs from various places :D i have a few ideas. I was wondering something would one 200watt cfl be enough for all the plants?

It has definitely been a while since i last updated a lot has happened all my plants started dying and i didnt know why? just now i transplanted two of them to bigger pots and it turned out they were root bound right after my intervention they sprang back to life. I still havent bought more lights. Im planning on keeping the other two in their containers until i buy some more of em' lights. :)

They look like they're picking up!
Sativa dominant strains it looks like, they got alot of character in them. Just grow for so damn long.
I get ya about the costs, don't sweat it. Keep your plants low and keep what lights you got on them close. It'll all work out my man, they want to give you bud just as much as you want it from them.

WOOOOOOW i finally bought some more bulbs :) 3 23w cfl 6400k daylight they are pretty strong. Now i just have to hook up the other 3 bulbs (somehow) but overall the plants (2 of them) are looking pretty healthy. I had to leave them for about 2-3 days. Anyway ill post some pics later.

did you get the Y adapters that you screw into the light socket you get two light sockets? that would be your cheapest way to add the bulbs to the current fixtures, with the current bulbs too. just a suggestion, but glad you got some more light.
