help!!!!!

hello fellow tokers,

got some ?s. one plant under on 13 wtt cfl for a month (he didnt have money to get the approriate

lighting at the time) just switched to 250 wtt hps, four 2700k cfl's, one black and one blue party cfl

bulbs. (1) is this enough light or it needs more? i told him the more light the better. just recently

switched from regular potting soil to FFOF. (2) being the plant has been alive almost 2months but

has only grown 5 inches with a few leaves around it, is it ok to add nutes to accelerate growth? if

so what procedure must be followed and also cost friendly. he told me about a vid he saw about

DIY co2. (3) is this ok for plants...co2 that is? if so how can it be done? ph tester from lowes for 10

dollars. metter seems to go below 7 by one line. (4) how accurate are these particular types? ( im

not sure of the name cus he never told me the exact name, he only told me how much it cost)

online lowes.com search for ph tester. its 10 dollars. he canot afford reflective material (ie mylar)

(5) what is a more cost friendly material that will at least do the job?. Heard with ffof ph should be

perfect for plants for up to thirty days. (6) when the thirty days are up..what will be the very next

thing to do step by step. he also told me he noticed the leaves curling down. (7) Is there anything

that can be done to help the plants leaves get better? i have included pics. any advice will be

greatly appreciated and kudos will be giving when due.

cheers....
Stay High...

did you say party lights??? black and blue...... OK let me stop you there.

Get some veg spec CFLS. fan across your plants, lights 3" away from plants. That hps is going to roasting that little plant. Good luck

Ok, with out being rude, both yourself and your friend need to take some time and do some research first before going like a bull at a gate with no knowledge. The very best advice i can offer is if your going to do it, dont do it half assed, you need to invest some money, time and study into it. For the life of me what possesed you to use party lights ??? use the cfl's for vegging your plant, then run the hps for flowering......as far as the mylar goes, well, ebay is all i can say 20m of mylar @ 1.3 wide, $14.00.......if you cant afford $14.00 really you shouldnt be growing. You guys should sit down, do alot of research, check peoples grow journals to see how they have done things......best of luck.....

Change those bulbs to cfl's. That'll help a lot with most of your problems.
