no. wait till allitle longer. and do it slowly.. if your keeping the plant in that pot. you should of had some stakes in the soil, to use for bending. and go to the florist and get a roll of floral tape to attach the plant to the stakes.

These are my plants as of today, the little guy sprouted yesterday. :-o

The bigger one looks distorted and bent on one side because i played around with the fan and set it to high and that was probably too much wind. :wall:



Heres my set up it maintains a 80-90 degree temp during the day(light) cycle and around 70 during its night(dark) cycle.

I use an 8-7-6 feed (miracle gro) its this stuff where u drop a little bit in water and you use it wenever watering the plant.


:weed:

I would look into gettin some higher wattage bulbs, there not expensive at all at least get a 43w there like 10 bucks or less. And get the plants closer to the lights.

i would also recommend a higher nitrogen level nutrients. like a 30-10-30 or even a 15-5-10. and when you start to flower dont us any nitrogen after about the first week. i use morbidbloom 0-30-10

alex why are you doin 12-12 from seed? its not goin to work that well,switch it to 18-6 and veg it for a month or so,you will get a better yeild and flowering from seed you will have a small yeild and a very streched plant.

whats the wattage? not the light color.

sirus- yea ill buy a higher wattage bulb, and should i get one for each plant?

scabey- I wasnt sure if the plant needed too many nutrients at this early of a stage but i will definitely start using one you recommend, any products you think are better than most.

wackymack- I had it on a 12/12 because i thought the plants would flower faster and maintain a smaller height... but if you think its better to switch i will do so. Is it too late? I dont want my plant(s) to get light shock. Ill check my wattage and post back later

if you keep it on 12/12 you will get 5-10g off the plants. look around on rollitup or icmag forums and find dr bloom. he has a perpetual grow with about 70 plants. he runs straight 12/12 but because he has so many plants he gets a great yield. it will work but you will be disappointed. as far as tying down goes, use paper clips chained together. the clip closest to the soil gets straightened with the exception of one end. the straight end is plunged into the soil and the hook end is attached to the chain. this way you can just hook and unhook the plant. also, you dont have to tie anything to your baby.

dubrules- Yea I have about a a foot and a half to two feet of height and width space so today I switched back to an 18/6 cycle. Could you send me pics of the paper clip thing because im not sure I understand it correctly through text.

Heres my plant as of today...

I'm getting two 45 watt bulbs and a plastic rubbermaid box and hope fully I will be able to construct a new grow room for the plants.

I also moved both plants closer to the light... but is it ok that the smaller one is not directly underneath the bulb, its just a little bit to the side...

Iight nice bro thanks a lot for your help too, I bought two 40 watts, and i have 2 23 watts but ill get another set of 40s. does it matter if it says 150 watt replacement... it said 40 watt 150 watt replacement that's ok right? also is a 30-10-10 feed good for the plant right now.

go extremely light on the nutes,dont go full force right away. there 150equivs,meaning that the 42 puts out the same brightness as a 150w incandescent.

Ok well I only put a little bit of some 30-10-10 in my waterer just for the bigger one of course. And the 150 equivs are ok right?

Also can you look at my stem on the larger plant, the bottom looks rather small and unhealthy.

I'm guessing the little guy is almost as tall as the bigger ones height already because of the 12/12 light schedule the bigger one was on.

Here are the pics... I'm putting in addition to the two 150 equivs a set of 23 w lights in the new grow box im making.
