Here's the situation I started my seeds 5 weeks ago (sorry for lack of pics at this time, I will try to upload them tonight) And they are no bigger than 3 inches tall and are looking very poorly. I soaked them in water for about 5 days to get the germination started and this worked great, I used the greenhouse starting disk to get the roots growing. All of this was fine until I kept messing with them and transplanting back and forth (about 3 times now :() I have a more in depth grow journal I have somewhat kept on top of if you need more info. I think I may have over watered in the beginning and my lights were too far away (cheap walmart grow light) and my plants stretched (I now keep the lights about 2-6inches above the plants). I have had them on 18 on and 6 off, with good soil and feed. As you can tell I have researched this but am struggling. I have to keep the whole operation in secret in my closet as I have unknowing roommates. I have an air ionizer to keep smeels down (there currently are no smells to speak off ) and just recently (like a week ago) I put a fan on them as I read the stomata needs stimulation as my plants were top heavy and falling over. I'm not sure if these can be saved and I have already thrown away two other seeds as I had them airtight in a tupperware for germination which I believed caused them to mold. I have just started 4 more seeds in one of those tomato green house planters yesterday and I want to make sure I do this right. Any advice other than spending a ton more money would be much appreciated.2011-02-11_16-58-38_752.jpg2011-02-01_21-48-41_711.jpg

sorry charlie but to get good weed your gonna have to spend the money and get good light/exhaust/soil/nutes/fans/thermometer and hygrometer its gonna take alot more than a "cheap" walmart grow light to get anything even close to smokable... plus if you invest you can make your money back on the first harvest for all your equip....there is ALOT of good information on this site but there are ppl who are inexpierenced and just post BS so becarefull who you believe make sure their rep is good I recomend if you wanna go cheap get some t5s or a whole SHIT ton of the right spectrum cfls....personally I would recomend getting HPS but thats me and I like good weed and if your roomate doesnt know about it im sure he will once you get your fans and lights up and running ive never heard of such a thing as a totally silent grow room/cab/closet their gonna make noise...I wouldnt grow in a place where everyone in the damn house or apartment didnt know about it I wouldnt want them to stumble across it and ruin everything or worse call the cops....do alot of reading on here and you can better yourself and your plants.

Good luck man<boogs>
