Pics are needed and more info. How old are the plants? How much wattage in cfl's are on them and how close? How often and how much do u water? temperature and humidity of your grow room? As for fish water..no..your marijuana plant will not survive with fish water! lol
I'd imagine fish tank water to be not ideal at all since the ranges vary from 5.5 to 7.5 pH. Also probably is some microbes worth giving to the plant but actually, this is not the right way to do things... get proper nutrients, organic ones... mix with your RO or Tap water to get the desired pH of around 5.8 / 6.0.
Plants are green, lights are close, I think I wasn't watering enough... I'm hearing different things about the fish water thing... I don't know if I will try it.the leaves are soft. I might be making a mountain of a molehill,it's only been up for a week!!!
OK, soft leaves is good... try checking your medium, is it dry about an inch deep when you check with a finger? if so give it a bit of watering and monitor the situation... Photos would help us all here to give you better advice... I'd personally steer away from Fish tank water, just seems a bit counter-productive.
I'd be careful of the distance and such to avoid any possible light burn.
Ten inches would be too far away right? At least for CFLs to be effective I would think...
What's a good distance then?
for CFL? 5 to 10 inches is good depending on the wattage and stage of your seedlings / plants. I've used and seen people use T5's at 3 inches.
At a week old you might want to get them under LED / HPS or other, CFL is great for getting things kicked off but not really the best long term. What is your plan moving forward? LED or HPS / HID?
If your planning a cfl grow, then that's cool. Ive grown with cfl's before and got some nice big buds. If the plant is just a youngster you can use 1 bulb for now. keep it 2-4 inches away. As the plant grows, start adding more cfl's. good luck!
Totally agreed, used to use CFL for starting off my crops, it gives them a really vigorous start... Last few years I moved away from CFL and HPS to LED. CFL is really not as bad as some people make it out to be
Dude! your 30 gallon is big for indoors. hopefully its outside.Why not put it in the ground if that's the case. Also.... NEVER put 2 plants in the same pot. You cant put two girls in the same bed, but you can't put two ladies in the same pot.
I have two different pots that they are in.cant go outdoors cause it's still winter here...
