Nice stealth setup, I would def LST in there though. Looks like your plants leaves are curling..., but I'm a noob and don't know what that is a symptom of... Anyway keep it up and good luck!

Hey just dropping by! Are you still having the temp problems? If so, then that could cause all the stunted growth and leaves being angry. I owuld keep it simple for the first couple grows that you have... It isn't all about getting a pound right away, it's about learning what to do and what not to do with your plants.

That is an excellent link. I'm currently employing that technique with great success. There's also a lot of other very good info about growing in there too. Worth a look for sure!
Hi Livelife, I was checkin out your grow. I started with T12's and CFL's too. As a matter a fact i still use them, they work great! I only veg with them though. I have a 400w HPS now too. Anyway i though you might like to check out my 1st grow with the T-12's and the CFL's. There's a lot of good info in there. I really learned alot. Links in my signature.
And just quickly I'll ad that most new growers 1) overwater, 2) overfeed, 3) over-react, and 4) they chop their plants down way too soon lol.
So if you can manage not to do those things you will be way ahead of the game! Good luck and happy growing!

Okay peeps!! ide first like to thank all of you for your support suggestions and concerns!! =) its great!. well below are just a cpl pics of the plant no longer gloomy, but is not the best lookin either!! LOL thats halarious, its def lookin better. i chilled out with the watering, and havent used nutes but once, when leaves were droopy it actually raised them =) good stuff! umm the whole lst thing im going to actually do! im just going to learn to have to find time this weekend to read about it. if any good threads or links out there that anyone knows of would be greatly appreciated!.

umm i also have three in the same grey pots, there seedlings covered by a 10g tank thats sitting on a plastic lid tons of moisture and humidty hoping they pop this weekend so i can get them under the light =)

as for the sprout its weeeeell, its no longer a sprout lmao =) growing healthy =) yay

i appreciate the compliments ive been working hard to not fuck up! ya know?? lol well enjoy the pics peace!! smoke one!!!

I really want to know what stunted that plants growth so much. From what I read it's over a month old but very very small. Maybe genetics? Maybe the constant heat? Really weird. Good luck

My guess is too much water and too much light as a seedling. Go figure water and light. The plant is supposed to love these things right? Still its easy to over do it with a seedling.
LST is EASY! You almost can't do it wrong.

it is growing really wack and slow im month in. month and 9 days lmao. its the seed though the growing conditions are good. keep in mind im not really planning on a huge harvest out of these they are all bagseed lmao. this is like practice for me!! trial in error just figuring out how im gonna grow before i spend dough on some named strains =) but thanks for the concern ima read all this lst thing and its deff not overwatering lmao i actually woke up and it looked like this pic below lmao!! waterd her and she is already doin better she is sleepin right now but will take pics later!! =) thanks for chkin in on the grow peace Smoke =One!!.

I don't know if anyone suggested this too you, since I sorta got tired from reading all the posts but... What you could do, if you have limited ressources, is get yourself desk lamps and stick you cfls in there. It'll concentrate your light towards a certain area a lot more and possibly help with getting you plant much bigger. THat's what I've done, and although I have no pics right at the moment, it's only 9 days old, about 2.5 inches tall, about 6-10 leaves, and all that from 1 23w cfl.

thanks for posting, i appreciate a new peep joining in on the advise thanks man but in one of my last posts, i stated that im getting some t5 tubes to hang across, and prob go with a small butterfly reflector or somethin with that but for right now im just gonna go with the converse box. lol but im deff thinkin lamp on far end of my box cus i threw three more pots into the mix so thinkin lamp for the further ones=) thanks again bllaaaaaaayze!!! =/

pullin up to this one...subd!

wow did huge move today and the fucking plants did not like it at all. they were going to do inspections at my apartment complex cus someone got busted with a decent size grow op and its gonna be during next week. so the plants are at a friends house for the time being. they look horrible anything that can be done to make them really happy quick?? mist? humidity? water? 24hrs of light?/ idk just a thought cus im worried bout the plants dying. pic below to check out mini grow for a week. two plants sprouted. =) hopefully they do good in there temp home.
