I was growing with cfls around 1inch from tops, and cpu fan blowing to remove the heat. About the temps, plant can and will grow above 80F but it is scientifically proven fact that potency of weed goes down, it depends on a strain, to some of the strains THC drops even 2 times, best results are achieved at 70-80F.. But of course your priority is to save them, not to get highest potency. I see since last time you posted help thread you added quite some lighting. they are still too small to be re-potted but if the problem is the soil, you might need to do that. But man, I think you do need to do some reading, I am growing for 9months already and still read everyday the minute I have time. This is not "just add water" item, this is a living thing, once you sort out the basics plant needs, it will be relatively easy(depends if you have some cash and grow space), but till then you can end up in NWA(North East somth whidch is far from SEA) while reading all the parroting opinions about fake hypes. Start with a trusted source of knowledge like Mel Frank - growers guide and after you will get the idea, continue on reading forums, in time you will see, sometimes a start can be very difficult, but SATISFACTION is guaranteed, good luck!

I prefer sex.. spread your pollen!

off topic:
dude about your soil, are you able to stick your finger like 2 inches into soil or is it too tough? your aim for the soil to be loose, airy, moist and well draining.. Maybe you alr mentioned but where did you take the soil from? Is it first time used?

yeah, it used for the first time, i still have some of here left, i will use it when i transplant it on the pot that i bought a long time ago, (the pot that i used during my first attempt of grow and getting some knowledge). i am thinking of transplanting it later, i need to fix something important to today, but i am too lazy, that is another problem for me, plus i really need weed right now but i can't smoke yet and also i don't have any.

i can't push it, does it mean that the perlite is not enough? i watered my babies like two days ago with nutes and it's already dry, i think because of the weather situation here.

hmm, soil is too tough, if you cannot stick your finger like two inches is not that good, soil has to feel spongy and airy not clayish and tough, your plant is too small to use up all that water, I doubt that the soil is already dry, maybe only top. Anyway you should be able to tell that when lifting your pot. If you will leave that soil the way it is, you are going the hard way then, if possible add some perlite when replanting. Stop thinking about the yummi food, or how lazy you are today, start doing something about it or you will have two more dead plants.. ;)
