hey this is my 2nd time growing. my 1st time was not a success but this time i have growth. here are some pics of my plant. i no the space im growing in isnt the biggest and best spot but its the only spot that i can grow in my room.

anyways im using a 65 watt grow light i water daily. i keep it around 75-80F

this is about 2 and a half weeks in from sprout.

i just raised the plant up before i posted this forum so the plant is a bit closer to the light cause i noticed its stretching for the light.













if anyone has ne tips of useful information please let me no

You need some serious light man! Take a look at what 400w will do in 8 days and then again in 5 weeks.

I would get rid of the foil. Not good idea. Mylar is 25 bucks a roll. Probaly have some left over after you cover your whole space.

You don't necessarily need HID ( High intensity discharge ). Read and absorb all you can on this board. Plenty of people using CFL (compact flourescents) and doing well.

Cfl is low on power. It may be just what you need, if your keeping grow small. Hidden. Get fan for airflow.

Naaa......bubblegum, chrystal and aroura indica. Was just making a joke since your avitar looked similar to my pic. Neither of us used the correct white balance on our cameras.

O>K>, here we go,,,, your babies are a bit stretched,, so,, here is what I would do and have done many times,,,, you should bury them up to the forst leaves you see so that they wont fall over,, and this will make them stronger and safer,,, then,, stop watering daily, only water when your dirt is dry or near dry,, usually about once every 3 to 4 days should be good,,, now,, drop your light down to within 1 inch of the tops,, this will insure that they wont keep stretching, (cause they are going to),, your light is fine for now, but when they start getting bigger youll need a couple more,, walmart has them.. good luck on your grow,, youll do fine,, just keep it up.....:peace:......
