Hey guys, I'm new at this. I got bored and had a few seeds. It's been 5 days since she has sprouted. Looks ok so far, right?

Thanks for looking!

your light needs to be closer

 

[sunni]

your plant is stretching ot get towards your lights
this is either due to

-insignificant lighting
-light too far away

follow this tutorial located here https://www.rollitup.org/t/replant-those-long-stretchy-stems-its-easy.429767/ and move your lights closer or your plant closer but not too close as to avoid burning the plant

for curiosity what lights are you using

i picked up a T5 grow light. It was fairly far away I'm sure that's my problem. I will have to go ahead and read your tutorial. Thanks

This is kind of like my trial and error run if I mess up I'll just know for next time. I appreciate all the suggestions.

It look just fine. Add more soil if it starts to fall.

It looks like it's stretching for light, might wanna see if you can get light closer.

Hey guys, so it's been a few days since all the help and I think everything looks good. My second plants taking off and I need to get into gear and buy a bigger light. I've done a lot of looking around but was wondering what worked the best for you guys and gals? Any suggestions? It's for two plants max right now. Thanks !

It would depend on how big you want to grow them. A 250 or a 400W dual spectrum HPS would be the answer in most cases.

I was looking at something like this

 

[Yekke]

I would go for a known brand name.
I use lumatek ballasts and Sylvania bulbs. Phillips and Osram lights are my second favorite bulbs.

Hey guys, Day 11. Was wondering if you thought all was well so far? Looks like she is growing ok but this is my first ever grow. I bought a 400w HPS which ask came with the CFL which should be arriving tomorrow or Friday. Should I start using it immediately ? Thanks for looking!



The 3rd pic is my second seedling. Day 7.

Looking proper. Switch to the 400w as early as possible

Hi Yekke, so I have the 400W Hps and I am using it in a grow cabinet but need to get a grow TENT tomorrow. I was wondering if you thought a 36X20X63 would be to small? I only have two plants.

That is too small for a 400w.
A 400W will fit 80cmx80cm tents up to 120x120cm tents.

Was wondering what nutes I should give them? This is week 3 and They have been under 12/12 for the last few days.

And tips or suggestions are appreciated, thanks for looking!

Hey guys, just an update on my first grow.

Thanks for looking, I appreciate it!
