First Grow Ever

So about 3 weeks ago i started a seed i found and got hooked since than i have started 2 more seeds, and converted my dvd rack into a grow box. check it out....more pictures to come soon....
p.s.any tips or advice is greatly appreciated

Hi tillanate10,
i don't want to appear rude but in my opinion you're losing your time.
The growroom is inappropriate.
The light is not enough and too far from the buckets.
The dirt u're using seems to be too compact.
All these things are so clear giving a look at your first photo. I can assure you that is not normal after three weeks to have a so small plant.
My suggestion is to check this forum, read as much as possible and then try again.

Good Luck

Love the poster they have in there, youve got some things to learn though. Dont worry, everybody does at first.

some critical tips for you: 1) do alot of reading, those plants are never going to produce without alot more effort and care. 2) do not post pics with your face in them....bad bad bad idea for obvious reasons. good luck to you. if you have any specific questions feel free to fire away but you have to at least learn the basics before you start and its obvious you havent done that.

tillanate,

Welcome to RIU! I think everyone above gave you great advice. Mostly on the part about not posting your picture on a site discussing illegal practices.

Your seedlings should be in the vegitative stage, and they arn't. Like the above members mentioned you need to do ALOT of research in the GrowFAQ section before you try to grow these things. You need ALOT more light, needs to be ALOT closer, and you need to put a small fan in there to make the stalks strong. Ther reason why they are streaching soo much is because of lack of wind and not nearly enough light.

Do your homework, if you do you will see the above problems are correctable, and keep us posted!

I made the box to grow low lifes automatic hindu kush. how does this set-up look for that?

6500k cfl's and lots of love.

maybe not the smartest idea to post pics with your face in them also your light is to far from your plants specially if its cfl
