yes i know the steams are long will this effect the plant except for the amount of bud on it is there anything i can do to stop the steam from growing anymore? should i stabilize the plants with a support? anything else you can think of to help me would be awesome...

well 1st thing transplant them now...you have more then 1 per container thats a no no...roots will fight for space...2nd ur cups are see through wrap them so no light get to the roots...beyond that at least you where able to germ them...

bring your light closer to stop the stretch if your growing with cfls then you can get them within a inch

First repot them in their own containers before their roots get inter tangled. Second put them closer to the top of the pot (more dirt). Not knowing your setup keeps me from suggesting anything further. If they were mine going under my 400w light I would put them straight into their own 3gallon pots cause in about 4 weeks they will be over a foot tall and wide. I'm guessing by your newbness that your using a fluorescent light though. Get some good dirt (fox farm Ocean Forest) and repot those babies asap

The seedlings look has though they could do with a little more light bro bang a couple more cfl's in the room.Or even better put a set of flouresents up get cool tube so that you can get the head of the seeds ince or so of the tops.Still keep the lights that you have in the room and make sure that a couple of them are warm daylight spec and the plants should look better.If you have not started feeding nutrients yet then i would introduce a little to them.Plant start or superthrive or a mix of both but only use a drop of superthrive per litre of water.Alot of growers don't introduce feed untill the plants are a little bigger but if you get the feeds that i have put and stick to the recomended dose then watch how bigger the plants will get in the next week after feeding............................tyke.......................................................................................

i transplanted them to seprate cups filled cups to top of rim with soil and re planted all in diffrent cups... should i set up support or anything to help stablize plant?

UPDATE: pics

Like the other guys said, put some more light to them, and that will stop the stretching. Also, you should have a oscillating fan blowing across them gently, and that'll cause them to grow thicker stems too. The most important thing is the light, that's critical. Don't trim them either. You can top them or use some other techniques when they are bigger, but leave them alone for now, because they need all the leaves they have, to absorb light for good growth.

I went to local grow store and they have very small section on grow stuff but wondering if these would help my babies grow to thier full potental.... also for one picture i know its blury i could get text to show up but it is

total nitrogen - 8%
ammoniacal nitrogen 1.2%
nitrate nitrogen- 1.2%
urea nitrogen - 5.6%
available phosphate - 7%
soluble potash - 6%
iron - .10%


and other box is

total nitrogen - 6%
other water soluble nitrogen 3.08%
urea nitrogen - 0.75%
water insoluble nitrogen - 2.17%
available phosphate - 12%
soluble potash - 6%
magnesium toal - 0.50%
water soluable magnesium - 0.50%
sulfer - 2%
combined surfur - 2%
boron- 0.02%
copper - 0.05%
iron - 0.15%
manganese - 0.05%
zinc- 0.05%

suggest, fox farm nutes, order online like 50 bucks, will put you in the game kid

Depending on the soil you used, if there were nutrients in it, you won't have to worry about feeding them for at least a month. If you feed the seedlings you will probably burn them or slow them down rather than help them.

They are looking good so far. The stems should strengthen themselves if given a strong enough light to bend toward.

Looking good for a first time!

haha yeah i know but im a poor collage student and just looking to do this for the forst time and see how they turn out and then judging on living and how i do will depend on how muhc i spend more on it.... will these help my plant grow or what will happen if i use these is pretty much my question

Just go real easy on the applications when you start off. Take whatever quantity they suggest and cut it by 75% and you should be ok.

If you do decide to go with the MG stuff, avoid those grow spikes that you stick in the soil, because they'll only cause problems(due to the lack of control). The liquid stuff will work alot better, as long as you mix it weaker than recommended.(plus it has trace nutes) I know it's tempting to mix it stronger, but if you keep it at 1/4 of the recommended strength, they'll do well. Keep in mind that the fert is designed to cover a wide range of plants, and isn't specifically engineered for growing cannabis, so won't have the correct proportions of trace nutes. It's not a major issue, just an issue to keep in mind.(watch for deficincies) Upgrade to some cannabis-specific fert as soon as you can, and you'll have better results.

I grew with MG fert and soil, and they grew well, so it's entirely possible. Just make sure you PH the fert and water before you dump it in, and don't mix it too strong, and you'll be a-okay.

thanks for all help but i have recently upgraded my box to 3 100w CFL and 1 60w for a smaller seedling... just gonna update pics of plants any suggestions i can do to improve my box i also have a internal fan blowing on them to have a constant brezzy in box... please i am new any suggestions will help to make this the easyest grow possible thankd everyone for helping a little newbie

sorry posted a old picture here is the correct ones... sorry about that
