This is my 18 day old plant being grown under 800watt cfl. I noticed these weird green things that are like twisted.. They dont really look like leaves, But if they are what causes this? Plant is growing pretty damn fast.. I uploaded some pictures. The one with the water on it was from yesterday, the rest today. Oh and those specs are dirty that I just removed

All these answers were also given to you in the exact same post in the Newbie thread. Stop stressing man. If your this stressed now over a healthy plant I cant wait to see when you have a yellow leaf. Just relax its fine.:cool:

well that says 125... you have 8, that is 1000 watts, little crazy for 1 seedling a couple weeks old. I would use like 3 maybe 4 untill it got about 1.5 ft tall

They will all do fine under one of those bulbs. As they get larger and spread out you can start adding bulbs. Or just keep 'em all burning.... whatever. But you're burning bulb life unnecessarily in my opinion.

Hiya doobiekid420, IMHO that's massive overkill for such a young lady, plus you are burning electricity that you don't need to be? (500w) yet.

So You have 4 x 125w MINI LOTUS CFL - 6500K & 2700K - 9,500L(But this is Dual/Mixed, so it is 4,750L per Spectrum per Bulb) also I could be wrong..but I have read a lot Growers state that with Multiple CFL bulbs that you don't ADD the Lumens of the Bulbs together..so what you have is 4 x 9,500L at whatever distance away each Bulb is from the plant/plants..plus it depends how you hanging the bulbs? I think the ends of CFL is like a Dead point/Zone?? - next to None if any Lumens from this point of bulb...could be different with Mini Lotus..not sure..

I could be wrong about all, lots of peeps say different things about CFL.

Peace

OH what kinda grow environment you working with...

EDIT: And that is one the worst FleaBay listings I've seen in a while!!

Hiya, I mean the FleaBay Listing..it is a but jumbled to say the least! LOL

by-the-by how Big is Grow Box and what size of Fan you using and how you got it positioned? 4 bulbs for 4 plants makes more sense...
