First Grow - Drooping Leaves?

[RadicalRoss]

I grow feminized seeds but many don't. You just gotta grow em until you can tell sex and cull the males.

1 month into flowering.
Pistils are abundant but no buds at this time.
Working on checking the flowers less than I do the stock market for a happy medium

do you have them indoors under lights or outdoors? for 1 month they should be a bit farther on maybe they are just slow they look hungry for light

Indoors under 600W MH 2x2 approximately 14” from light. Do they need to be closer?

bingo! anyone can tell you MH is for veg only. you need an HPS bulb is your ballast dual? i got a 600 watt dual mh hps for 125 bucks vivosun

No one mentioned it was for veg only. Others seem to have success reaching harvest with 300W LED lamps.

Hello, this is a wonderful community.

First time indoor grower. Started seed in paper towels, RR and yesterday transplanted to solo cups with OFFM. One of the seedling’s is exhibiting droopy leaves and wanted some input (2nd image).

1 or more of these ladies will move to a Mars 2’x2’ next week with ts600 lamp. How many should I move and when/how do I determine which ones to keep? All seeds are from an outdoor grow (not mine).

Thank you,
Budd

That Mars Ts600 only good for 1 plant if u gonna do veg, if u go straight to 12/12 u could try more, all in all u need more light power.

plants look good considering they are under a 100 watt light, good first grow.

 

[Buddtholomew]

General consensus is 50W per sq ft. 2x2 tent is 4 sq ft. = 200W

1 ts600 as it’s only a 2x2 tent.
Don’t mind investing $ if the light is not up to PAR.

That’s eye opening as nothing I read on US sites mentioned 100W.
What should I get for my 2x2?

 

[SisterMooo]

Couple things, first, don’t fill the cups in case they stretch, you can add more soil for support. Also, half a solo cup of fresh soil weighs about 125g. If you have a small scale thats a good measure of how wet or dry they are. Good luck

now you tell me!!!!

put it as close as possible i only use HPS for flowering even a 400 watt would make all the difference at this stage light equals buds
