:wall:Ok this is my 1st Official Grow and I have 1 16 watt 2700k Cfl about an inch(or less) away from a sprout Ive had about 20 days it hasnt grown much since ive had it and i have some others sprouting as we speak. I know I have to get more light and ive already purchased the bulbs but can anyone show me pics of the life cycle and anyone who has had this happen to them:wall:(stuntd growth):wall: I mean before i was using a 60 watt bulb but since i put the cfls on it (maybe 5 days) It regrew out:clap:(i ripped it in half transplanting and out of frustration.. and it regrew!!!(I was like damn):-P the two leaves just folded out and i guess she looks greener now this is a closet grow at my uncles house(had to leave my dorm inspections next week) :wall:and i dont want him to find out.. but ive had the light on it 8/16 or maybe 10/14 when i have the time So now Im wondering why hasnt it grown out and how long does it take before i see some other leaves... I just wanted to know im not wasting my time :wall:

yeah and at first it was cold ass hell but now I put it on the water heater which heats the container with the germing seeds and the pots with my sprouts also I mist every 4 hrs
 
you need more light and should be doing somewhere between 18-6 and 24-0 for on-off cycle. really 1 16watt is not enough to grow anything
 
6500K is the colour temp. Meaning it's a blue-white colour for vegging. You need at least a 100w power if ur using a cfl or multiple cfl's.

i just finished a cfl grow one plant used 6500's for veg and 2700's for flower.. one plant.. got 2.7 ounces off it.

with vegging since they are cfls' i reccomend 20/4 for veg

You could maybe grow a boner if you use that CFL to light up a nudie mag. Hit up the Home depot or Walmart and get a splitter and a couple of the biggest true wattage CFLs they got in 6500k (cool) and 2700k (soft.warm) :)
