brilliant! i'll order all that stuff and then its: Operation Grow All Over Again. thanks Roger, thanks rollitup! :leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:

one last question, sorry ... (this is my third btw added to the thread): does the cfl bulb have to be 25 watt or thereabouts. for example there are bulbs that are 60 watts on amazon. maybethats too high a wattage...

@Roger A Shrubber: im currently getting organized for a new start and will soon buy the cfl bulb on amazon. i really dont want to start hassling you at the microdetail level but anyway (lol!): when you say 5k does the light therefore need to be between 5 and 6 k or do you mean it can be anything...

hey Barbara Martin, nice one. very interesting that: im growing a plant in the window and its definitely a 'stretched leggy tall seedling' looking for light. its growing slowly-ish and has big internodal distances. i didnt expect much from it anyway so i am not disappointed. im aiming to get...

youve really done me good here with your diligent help. one more thing: when you say 'top them' you mean sort of prune them? ie cut off their top leaves? and also you are saying that when when you use perlite, it's important to water the plants more ie every two days? :leaf: to ya!

your set-up looks awesome tbh. i just need to confirm and clarify a few things so i know that ive understood: - your seedlings never see sunlight, they just sit under the flourescent T5 or 25 watt cfl? - do you turn this flourescent/cfl light on/off in the 20/4 veg cycle? or is it on...

also: ive got a plant growing in the window and soon enough it will be four or five sets of leaves. shall i transfer that to under the lamp when it is? and obviously to veg conditions ie 20/4 cycle or thereabouts. cheers!

thanks Olive Drab Green, good to know. ROger A Shrubber, thanks again. when you say cfl/t5, you mean like the sort of light you put in a reading lamp ie not necessarily a lamp made for plants? when i do that, shall i keep it all in the wardrobe or shall i put the new seeds in the window as well...

that's very helpful guys, i really appreciate that! because the pot it's in is very big, perhaps i went about it all wrong. also i havent got access to any other kind of lights, mine is a very basic set up with a newly bought led. what do you think of this plan: start again with a new seed...

thanks mate for the reply. yes, excuse my lack of info: im a newbie and didnt think to say. with my newbieness in mind, it might not even be that the problem with the plant, which is feebleness and yellow tinged leaves, is lamp burns, especially since you say the light is far away. 65 cm is 2.13...

hi rollitup! hope you're all well and thanks for any help. as the title says, i'm wondering why the tiny little shoot that is about 3 weeks old and which for the last 2 weeks has been under a lamp, is burning. that is, its little leaves are tinged yellow at the edges. generally the plant looks...

sign up to rollitup. there's new posts every minute 24/7.

oh really? crap. i thought the insects must have come in the windows of another room coz its summer here and at night they come for the light inside the house. and then i figured they saw the amazing led lamp leaking out the wardrobe cracks and thought it was like manhattan penthouse living in...

cheers mate. im glad i reached out to the forum coz it's like a cascading of education: ive just been reading about internodal distances after i read your post for example. didnt know about that until now.

thanks mate. im going to go read about humidity level control now because my reading headaches gone. appreciate the help.

thanks for the great advice off the bat. mouth watering plant there i must say. i definitely like the advice about keeping it simple and not getting myself weighted down in the abstract ... just yet anyway. the science and tech theory stuff will be more revelatory and interesting once ive gone...

thats interesting. great! im very pleased i asked now because i was thinking 'oh crap'. i'd say the temp and humidity is slightly different (higher) under the led because it's closeted in a wardrobe. however the wardrobe has no back! so there is ventilation and also i open the windows of the...

alright Cyrus420, cheers mate, thanks for the quick reply. that's a good point actually, i'd have never thought of that. the led seeds wont have stopped growing right? just that they are now doing so much more slowly? they're maybe an inch above the soil.

hello rollitup. hope it's ok to just sign up, jump in and ask 'help me' questions which is basically what im doing here. ive read so much over the internet and got a headache now:-) so i thought i'd just see if i can get a hand here! shall i explain my problem, if it is even that (maybe im...
