the seedling stage generally lasts about two weeks, and this is the period in which the plant is primarily focusing on root growth (and consequently, above soil growth is relatively slow going). Though from your pictures, they are far past the seedling stage.

The plant looks good for its age, no apparent signs of defect or anything, aside from the fact that a little stretching has occured. What soil are you using, any nutes added yet? As far as the lighting goes, two cfl's will only get you so far, and throughout the growth of your plant you're...

those seedlings look a little young to be transplanting already, but yea, they're probably just in shock, give it a few days and growth should hopefully resume to normal. By the way, I hope when you transplanted them that they were all put in separate containers? Because if not, their roots will...

Really? This is by no means a site dedicated, or even remotely interested, in selling weed over the net, or for that matter at all. If you haven't noticed, we're all either fellow growers or newbies like me trying to learn a thing or two from the experienced to perfect our own grows. As far as...

If you actually take the time to research aluminum foil products, you will quickly learn about its true reflectivity. Aluminum foil is a great reflective surface, and has a better overall lifespan than spray paint (especially when applied to a metal surface). Though it is true that aluminum foil...

In my opinion, and judging by Canada's stance and enforcement on marijuana seed distribution, I would soundly say that you are probably fine. In the first place, Officials are generally only going to focus their time and money on busting large grow houses, or suspected dealers. So if you ordered...

Well it just depends on if you have the cash, because if so, then ideally you should invest in another ballast, or better yet, a ballast that can support both mh and hps. With a conversion bulb you're only suffering a small loss in lumens, though growing with a mh conversion rather than a hps...

What kind of soil are you using? It could be part of the root system exposing itself to the surface, are both of them forming their starter leaves?

First of all, the 4100K fluorescent tubes are the wrong kelvin rating to grow weed successfully; you want to shoot for at least a rating of 5500K or above, because these wavelength band carries the most useable light for your plants. As well, fluorescent do not put out nearly enough lumens to...

Pretty much any type of light will work, provided you have enough lumens (that's not to say it'll work ideally). 14000K is on the far side of the spectrum, meaning that it puts out a visibly white light ( if you don't know, white light is the combination of all the other spectrums). This bulb...

Yea, if they just sprouted, then that's to much light. Also, they will be very prone do drying out and burning. I made the same mistake about two weeks ago, but I had mine sitting under a 400 hps. Needless to say, my plants also began to contort and bend in odd ways. Though it was suggested to...

So long as the ballast to the wall is grounded things should be fine (I say "should" because you can never be 100% certain). As well, if there is a ground coming from the ballast, that means that the socket (which is a product of the ballast), in turn, will also be grounded. If you want, unscrew...

Are you looking for something that is discreet? Because if hiding it from unwanted eyes is a concern, then you might want to consider converting a closet or dresser into a small grow operation; the benefits of these methods is that its a discrete profile and very little light leakage. However...

So I made a homemade cooltube about a week ago, and today I decided to move my light closer to the plants. My two temp gauges are registering around 83-86, though I have pretty good air circulation. When I place my hand above the plant canopy, it doesn't feel hot at all. So, should I go with my...

Hey, thanks for the advice. Yea, I spit up the two and repotted both of them...hopefully they take it well. As for the shriveled one, I guess only time will tell if it can recover.

bump for suggestions:neutral:

So first of all I made the mistake of placing my baby seedlings directly under my 400 w hps, and I checked them the next day and the top part of the stems were at 45 degree angles with the rest of the stem. Though after I vented the room out they began to stand straight again, my new problem is...

What kinds of lights are you using? If you're on the bottom level, I'd say that you should be fine. Due to the fact that heat rises, the excess heat produced by the ballast and lights should filter throughout your house from the bottom to the top. Though if you're using high wattage lamps...

A cool tube will drop temps dramatically, but you need to have a place to vent the hot air. Like I said, you can either buy one for about $60-70 thats guaranteed to work with little tinkering, or you can make one for about $15. My homemade one works amazingly, dropped temps 20 F, and am able to...

So I woke up this morning and checked my grow room temps, and they were hovering around 87 F. I opened the door and allowed to cool air to come in and cool the place down, though, I think my seedlings are in a bit of trouble. Two of them are bent over and the fan leaves are crumpled, could this...
