This kind of sounds like my situation! I finally put mine in the darkroom but don't have a real light yet. About to go to the store and rectify that. Probably going T5 myself after all, and I need a small fan for my darkroom. Mine never wilted or anything but it's like they're frozen in time, 3...

So obviously the Blue is good for vegging, would it be crazy to do that to grow them fast then switch to T5 for flowering? And I def. know that what I'm currently using is underpowered for seedlings, but would the Blue be overpowered? Hang it high and get a lot more seeds seems right...

Actually I forgot I ended up with Happy Frog soil, they talked me out of FoxFarm even though that's what I heard was the way to go. Hopefully that wasn't a bad choice...

Well I just got my 2x2 tent, it's really the only size I could use in this closet, so I'm stuck with 2' lamps. I want to get as many bulbs in there as I can, which is probably 4 or 6 tops. Been reading that T5 thread by Mr. Professeur, and trying to figure out the bulbs I would need to get that...

And just out of curiosity, is this thing the Dream Machine of grow lights? That's crazy ass money! http://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Plasma-Grow-Light-System/dp/B00GNJ2TBA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1389970439&sr=8-4&keywords=ROCKET+PLASMA

Great responses everyone! Damn, I really love that T5 article, I kind of want to replicate it to the letter, though I can only do 2' bulbs due to space constraints. Atm I'm thinking the Sunleaves Pioneer Jr. kit, but it also comes with their bulbs, which I don't really need if I use those UVLs...

Damn, should I scrap them and try again, or can they still be salvaged?

I've heard in a YouTube video that it's best to have both warm and cool colored flourescents for seedlings, clones, and mother plants. Basically for vegetative growth only. True or false? Because I was under the impression that T5 6500K lights only are the way to go...

K, will do. I'm gonna get some mylar to put around the edges as well. Do you think running the light 24 hours would be overkill?

Plz help somebody!!! :(

I guess they got such a long stem because the light started so far away? I've thrown seeds in soil before in the past with no real idea of what I was doing and it seems like they grew shorter than these, and soon I had the second set of leaves a couple days later.

Right now I'm just trying get seedlings to the veg. phase. I have a shitty little grow light, it's an 18 inch bulb. I also had it way higher than I probably should have and my two sprouts are really tall. Now the light is 8 inches from them. I started them in some Growdan plugs then moved them...

Good info! Yeah, I guess this light I have is a T2, but at least it's done something. I'll look into getting some T5's for sure. I plan on getting that SunLeaves 400W MicroSun, since it has a ballast and does HPS and MH, but that's down the road a bit. I'll def try the cup thing when I get some...

Hey there, pretty new at this. I've seen a few random YouTube vids and got inspired, but still have questions of course. I started by germinating 7 seeds in a cup of water for 2 days, just regular brick weed atm, and planted them in a Rapid Rooter plug tray, with a heating pad but no humidity...
