Hey they are at 11 days now just "upgraded the ligth" (had 28 wats of CFLs) got + 30 watts of LED bulbs and have another spare 30 to add later.

Is there a proble with mixing CFL with LEDs??? Thanks in advance

Ps: something start growing next to the plant, not sure what it is... Better to remove it no?

It’s enough for a seedling, but in 3-4 days it’ll be too weak. So what are you vegging with?

Wot ... out of curiosity, have you ever seen anyone successfully grow weed with that "tea" or are you just winging it? That sounds like a bunch of stuff that should go in a compost bin for a few months before you use it

Because all of that stuff needs to decompose to provide any kind of nutrients. Scientifically speaking anyways.

The milk really threw me off ... in decades of being on weed growing forums I've never seen anyone give their plants milk. Ive even seen dudes give their plants sprite, but never milk. The sprite was a bad idea by the way.
 
Well after briefly studying Organics I can tell you even after the worms break it down they don’t want milk in there. Most I read said no meat no dairy

The egg ahells and banana peel ive read do work but must be boiled, you get calcium and potassium the coffee i assume would be for ph..but really the effort to do all that,..just buy good orangnic nutrients..depending where you live of course
 
Its cool that someone posted it in a forum man, but I'm still skeptical about the milk. That article ... well ... maybe. Seems like a lot of work, especially for a first grow. And having to bust out hydrochloric acid for the eggshells ...

Either way, no way you should be feeding that plant all that stuff so early. Just plant it in a good healthy potting soil and it will be fed for weeks.

Up pot and get more light.

Where do you live?, get a decent light on amazon, if you can..600w 800w 1000w would be best

One with actual 600W or 1000W. Not some cheap piece of crap that says 1000W, but when you look at the fine print, it's only 60.

Always look much deeper than the marketing bullshit "equivalent to", and the price. Find the real numbers of power draw. The lights on Amazon are notorious for this marketing gimmic/scam.

Always do your research, but if youre on a budget and just starting out, get a good cheap light then upgrade as you get better at growing..this is my second grow with this light its cheap 90$ noah s I have no complaints about it, and really how much better will a more expensive one yield

OP *has* cheap lights, probably more wattage than what you've got. Why go from cheap light to cheap light? I don't see a cost benefit to replacing under powered lights with a different under powered lights.

Just my opinion, but I'd just use what I've got and save up the money for a real lamp.

How much better will a proper light yield? The difference is grams/ounces to pounds.

Yeah, this is my sentiment as well ... if your on a budget buy HID. I used a blurple for a while and when I upgraded the difference was staggering. I wish I had skipped that blurple phase entirely.
 
Not everyone has a couple hundred dollars to spend on lamps and maybe can't afford high power bills, if someone is just starting out its good to have different options in different price ranges some like led some don't some like hids some don't, find what works for you ..
