lol that would get 1 plant maybe 1-2 oz, maybe, and produce light fluffy buds if u dont use the right CFL's at the right time, u need the right light spectrum.

94 is wayyyy to hot bro. try tp keep it 70- 75 during veg and a strict 70 during flowering, and if your plants had just sprouted, almost 200 watts of cfl in a small compact space like that at an inch away soo soon after sprout.. is no good. dont burn them up startin off.. they gotta get bigger and stronger before you can move any decently powered light that close

186 watts is what i have to start with i will get more watts as plants grow. i plan on growing 2-4 in veg stage that will leave me with hopefully one female 2 would be great tho. i know my light spectrum 6500 k vegg. and 2700 k flower.

Yup im going to only use 1 42 watt (6500k) And 1 23 watt (2700k). it was to much light on it at one time and way to much heat 4 that little of of a plants. as 4 why it was to hot in there i had plant light on the metal shelf that holds the light up. i just got done testing it with the that light off it was about 78 f. in there. that light was about 3 feet away from my plant. and it produced alot of heat.

Don't let anybody get to you, especially when they only have a few posts. Anybody that has grown anything to harvest knows how easy it is to screw up. I've killed dozens of plants if not hundreds. I've probably made every mistake in the book. But I did harvest 7 beautiful plants recently and it was very worthwhile. Learn from your mistakes, read, read, read, read, and read. Despite what some may tell you here, this is not rocket surgery; it's really simple if you know the ways most noobs kill their plants. Too much water, not enough light, lights too close, too much NUTES, not watering when they need it.

Yes it is i know because my friend grew back in the day. spraying them is just like rain. that guy dont know what he is talking about. just wanted to feel good about himself because someone called him a dumbass before.

i cant logically see where spraying your plants would cause problems unless you were using tap and then placing under direct light that was too strong.. otherwise foliar feeding is great.. also with bubbly water...

It was too dam hot in the room. The plants where dry when water hit them they just cracked.
bubbly water meanin carbonated water? Where can i get that and what would the bottle name be?

yeah you can find it just about anywhere that sells carbonated drinks.. wal mart or a grocery store should be a sure bet. just check the ingedients and make sure it doesnt have any extra chemical additives

probably some generic brand.. just be sure to check ingredients so that it doesnt contain any extra chems. brand shouldnt matter.

foliar feeding is quite fine during veg, but during flowering anytime you produce buds or are starting to you should stop... meaning 2-3 into flowering i;d say stop... you'll cause bud mold and thats no good...
