First and foremost a mans set up and management can say a lot. Im no one to judge but i refuse not to drop the polish and hopefully it pollinates your grow life. #The "aluminum" foil can and will burn your baby plants and plants in general. Do to small beem lighting.#The "cardboard" is a hazard
because it can and will catch
on fire.Thus it will retain
moisture and heat and can cause
molding as well. #You need
about 6 more cfls thats straight
to the point. #I know that "top
light" only holds about 500
lumens. That needs replaced
and im sure its a 2700k
flowering spectrum bulb. You
need at least 125w or 6000-
10,000 lumens 6500k daylight warm white bulbs per sq ft., for
one plant life. You are
experiencing some stretching
of plants meaning Not Enough
light for them and light is too
far away. You can grow out in the open until you get the right layout for your plants. You seem like you have the right mindset so that means you have to do it proper with polish. I recognize the situation. All you do for now is get your plants morw lights asap. They look like they have enough water to last a week so be careful to check the weight time to time to see if they are light in weight. If so they need water. If the pots are heavy let they dry out. Or submerge a half of finger in the soil to check or about 2" in to check.

10-20 gallon plastic totes at walmart make some awesome little growing environments. make sure to get some mylar also. they sell emergency blankets in the outdoors section.
those plants are defiantly streched out.

Listen mate I don't like the way these guys r criticizing almost everything uv don't the little u ones r looking fine get a straw make it 1/4 size bigger than seedling slit it long ways and wrap around the seedling burying it in soil Half inch down this will go e support while she grow and as for the foil if that's all I've got in at the moment then fine it does help use the space u have to max potential and sit back and watch....

  1. This is my current set up right now just working with what i have. The dvds i DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TO USE. Rollitup has a forum on dvds and its use of reflection. Check that out first if you cant get anymore lights at this time. And if you do use them try to use the mirror color kind instead of the off blue color kind. Stay positive with it. :peace: This is Bella (27 days veg) and NuNu (13 days veg).

I like that advice you gave. It provides hope and confidence for a person even me. I fled the foil because the ratio of recommendations were 2/5 5 being its not good. So i just didnt contend with that. But good strength of advice.:peace::peace:

Oh, I almost forgot about the straw. That works great. Did that on my last grow, and it keeps the plant nice and supported.

Seeds breeders will always come out with a version of a popular clone only strain. It usually is kinda close but doesn't really capture the greatness of the original.. It does make them a lot of money and there is an internet full of gullible people

I agree with you on how some breeders will cross certain strain and say its this or that. Take for instance this clone only Blue dream strain. How would you know what you smoke was the original blue dream? You don't. We can only go by what the breeders tell us and hope that they are true to their art form. I grew the HSO blue dream. I like the taste, the smell and how it smoke so in my eyes...I smoke the blue dream since I don't know what the original blue dream tasted like. I appreciate breeders who work hard to bring us these new strains. I enjoy the variety. It cost me $40 for 5 beans. The 5 beans that took these breeders months and months of work to stabilized that genetics. That's $40 bucks that I spent got me 4 oz of quality smokes in 3 month. So, to all breeders who take their time to perfect there art I appalud you. To guys like CC who always complain that it's just not like the original...you'll miss out on all these wonderful variety that the cannabis community is offering guys like us. Hell, most if these new strain will knock your ball offs and put your ass to sleep. Wurd up cracka!!!

I think it would be *very* close to the original strain if you made fem seeds from two plants of the original clone-only strain, wouldn't it?

Lose the foil. You can get an emergency rescue blanket (mylar) to line the area 2.00 USD or paint the area with white latex paint. More lights - 2700k for flower. Clean that space up man.....IMHO only! 6/24 is pic of the "closet farm" - plants 1 month old...8/5 is today 19 days into flower.
