okay i have been growing this babys under 6 cfls lights for abou 17 days now
the soil is 50%OF and 50%LW
i have used super thrive once or twice
and i topped it "two early i think"
i was wondering why does it look so small ?

and i have a 400 watt hps and with the tent open and two fans blowing air in and one 6 inch booster fan exhaust air out my temp stays around 81 82
do ya think with a cooling tower can my temps will go down even morre???

Depending on the temperature of the room you have it in. Just lower the temps in the room, and the growbox will cool down to while exhausting.

[If you topped it too early that may be part of the problem. How close are you keeping those CFL's, what wattage are they? Under 42w should be no more than an inch or two away from the plant, not enough light will also slow your grow down.

Don't give up on her just yet. Aside from being a little small, she looks healthy. Almost three weeks old - I would start some mild vegging nutes, do you have any yet? Some folks don't recommend it but I've had good results in veg with MG All Purpose Plant Food at half strength, never burned my vegging babies once. Plus you can start her on molassas, at 1 TBSP per gallon of water, given every other watering. Yep, a drop of Superthrive per gallon too. Try this, see if her growth picks up. She may just be hungry. :peace:

I mix in the drop of Superthrive for every one of my waterings, no problems with that. You can mix the nutes in too - as well as molassas, if you go that route - but don't feed nutes every single watering, especially not at first. Better to work her up to a higher dose, than to give too much and burn her (that damage never goes away).:peace:

when did you top her? I did mine right at three weeks, and they responded within 24 hours. But if she was too young - probably longer. I can't say for certain - she may have gotten over it already, and just needs to be fed.

Your temps - If they are staying around 80-82 it is a bit high, but still acceptable for growth. I don't know if that fan you're talking about will help with that, or not - if it isn't too expensive, I'd go ahead and try. Make sure your lights out period is during the warmest part of the day, doing that helped my temps drop by four degrees.

Glad to hear she's perking up. How long you veg is really up to you. The longer you veg for, the bigger the yield. The biggest restriction is your space - once into flower the plant will stretch twice, to possibly three times, it's height. Personally I veg for eight weeks - but then my flower room has eight foot ceilings, so I can deal if they get that big. Don't forget to include the height of your pot, as well as the space the light needs (including the distance it needs to be from your plants), when figuring how big you can let her go.:peace:

I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. lol Got some Trainwreck going right now, and already got seeds for my next two plantings - White Widow, followed by White Rhino (all three feminized seeds from Greenhouse Seed Co). If it helps, I've heard lots of good things about all three of these strains.:peace:
