CFL grow three Bagseed and one Ak47/auto blueberry

UPDATE


The 1ST pic is of my olderst bagseed its on DAY 16 this are beginning to worry me!! Because I think these are suppoce to be growing faster!!! the LAST pic is of my AUTO ak/blueberry its on DAY 8 and idk whats up but shouldnt it be bigger than this??? HELP my lights set to 18/6!

I'm curious, what brand of soil are you using? are you feeding them nutrients? I don't mean to be a downer but all the plants in the pics aren't looking too good.

What lights are you using? You say 50w cfls. Is that equiv. or actual? What spectrum? How close to the plants are they? What soil? What water (tap...well...distilled...blah blah blah). How often are you watering? What is the temp and humidity? What are you feeding them (if anything...I don't feed first 2-3 weeks). Do you have any airflow over them?

Seriously, there are too many variables unanswered to just look at the pictures and be like "Oh you are using miracle grow, your lights are too high, the temps are too high, there is no air movement, you are overwatering/underwatering, the moon and jupiter aren't aligned properly.......". You have to basically layout everything you are or aren't doing in order to get some good feedback as to what needs to be adjusted or changed.

And yes, they aren't looking too good right now. But they aren't a loss right now either. I advised earlier that autos like either 20/4 or 24/0. It won't hurt the other to be under that during veg either. But you stayed with 18/6 so I'm not really sure how much other advise you are going to follow. Post up answers to questions people ask about your grow and it'll help them to better help you.

Im using the 42w CFL's and the 50w im not sure what spectrim I bought them at walmart and they only had 1 kind of the 50w!! But yes its around 78 to 80 decrease in the cabinet I have a mini fan in there but the light are about 2 to3 inches from the plants... The one with the burnt leaves i think i mite of touched it with something on my hand that spotted the leaves... And yes im using tap water I never thote of that.. The water thing might be the problem I do have a water filter... For now on im gonna use filtered water.. My soils is Bacct premium soil I picked it up at a gardening place!!! In not useing any nuts yet

I'd check spectrum of the bulbs. 6500k for veg....2700k for flower or you can run a mixed. It should say it somewhere on the package. Or it could say 'daylight' or 'soft white'. I believe someone said before that the 3500-5000k spectrum they were trying to use didn't do much for their plants and they ended up having to change out. Perhaps you should search the forum for CFL recommendations. If you are going to use your tap water, let it sit out in an open container for at least 24 hours so the chlorine can dissipate (evaporate?).

Ok i found the link to walmart and im growing 2 of my plants under this!!!

I know it isnt my light because remember my 2 other plant i was flowering under these same CFL'SS I think there just dsme weak seeds!!! Im gonna germinate more after I get the new awsome promo at the Attitude

Seriously? That is a 3-way bulb and is not a 50 watt. It is equiv. The description even says "The CFL 3-Way bulb is the equivalent of a 50/100/150 watt standard incandescent 3-Way". At 100 watts it is either a 23 or 26 watt CFL. At most it is 1600 lumes and more than likely, since it is 3 way, you are running it at 50w equiv which is even less. I don't care what your last trashed grow was doing. This one is looking bad and I'd lay odds that it is the bulbs. Go get a min 100w equiv. (23 or 26w) daylight 6500k bulbs at HD or somewhere else if you want to see them improve. Otherwise, you are wasting time.

You asked, that's my opinion. If others want to chime in and offer different advice, yay!

Almost identical: https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/2741/FC3W-15254027OD.html and that one says 2700k spectrum...so flowering bulb..not veg. ..........and!, are you using a three way switch? I bet no. Which means you are running it at lowest setting which is 15w, 800 lumes. You'd get more growth out of lighting farts over the top of your plants.

Ok ok im listening!!! Im gonna go pick up one of them 150w cfl's but listen today theyve grown alot!! So maybe there kicking in i think its cause I was watering them to much!!! But for now on im useing distilled water!!! Thanks for helping someone need to smoke and loosen up lmao!!

I need to smoke and loosen up? Sweetheart, I'm doing fine. Take care of your girls. Get some 6500k spectrum bulbs. HD has them pretty cheap. The girls will appreciate it big time. Also, don't water until they need it. A lesson I learned the hard way, but thanks to people here. I learned it. Grab the 6500k (100w equivs) at the bare minimum for flowering. The 2700k for flowering. I ran 10 6500k and 5 2700k mixed on my first grow of autos and they were triple the size of yours at the same age. As I said before, just because you filter tap water doesn't mean anything. Let it sit for 24 hours at least to get the chlorine levels out of it. I have the awing suspicion from things you've posted that you get city water. FULL of chemicals.

No I have my own well!!!

Then I'm out of suggestions for you. I thought you said you lived in the city where you had to have security cameras, and I don't know of many cities that have well water. Not many that call well water, tap water either. But regardless. Try the lights. Don't water until they need it (if you pick up their container and it feels real light..water. If it feels heavy than don't)...and maybe test your water for and the runoff for PH levels. Other than that....I have nothing else left to offer for a suggestion other than post for help in the "if you need help post here" thread.

Ciao, Do Svedanya, auf wiedersehen

Its a learning process im learning im just a begginer !!! DOnt be so hard on me!!

If i could find a used cheap HPS that would be great!!! If you know anyone with one forsale let me know!

Keep an eye on craigslist in your area

Yeah,I have there aint anyone!iim gonna look on C L somewhere in cali!! try to work out a deal paying with paying with paypal!!!

Blueberry check out hydrowholesale.com I believe their warehouse is out of Atlanta. 400W HPS set-up fpr like $160

heres what i would say... get a medical MJ card where ever you are. It will grant you the freedom to grow at your own discression. i have one and im open for the most part with my close friends about my grow. i trust them, and if they prove me wrong the law is on my side if they break in to my house for any reason, steal, vandalize or any such other act towards my grow. its MY MEDICINE. i cant live without it. GL man, you need ALOT more lights than you have.
