My first grow

Looks like theyre as they should be for 11 days good going dude

 

The twisting could be from light, humidity, our heat stress.

 

Dude, EVERYONE growing indoors has "sub optimal" setups and conditions.

Don't sweat it.

That;s WHY all this discussion...it's about how each of us approaches at attempt to bring whatever aspects WE have an idea how to control to as close as possible to outdoor "optimal" conditions.

Truth be told, there IS no "right answer" to any issue, much less the number of issues involved.

First because it doesn't matter WHAT you do, you'll never match good out outdoor grows in the right areas. Second, because we're each dealing with different conditions to cope with. You and your next door neighbor can both grow the same strains in the same amount of space, you'll still both run into different problems with the exact same setup and methods.

I throw a shitload of numbers around. Those numbers are related to what the plant wants and what the equipment can deliver. I tell you what *I* can use, or what YOU will have to solve, if you use any of those methods.
 
Doesn't matter beyond that..it's just knowledge to figure out what you need, to best copy outdoor conditions. You may have issues that prevent you from using the "best way to do that", because it makes ANOTHER problem insurmountable...such as you might deliver the best light circumstances you can...at the cost of developing heat issues you can't possibly control, which will kill your plants sure as Justin Bieber will eventually come out of the closet.

Nobody's ever going to know EVERYTHING about them. And an indoor grow will NEVER precisely match "best conditions", nor will any two people ever cope with EXACTLY the same grow conditions, if they don't both build absolutely identical hermetically and environmentally sealed grow areas pretty much right next door to each other. So listen to folks...their methods, the "why" behind it, their reported or documented results, any science behind it.

Test, practice, test again, tinker. When you find the best way to get the best yield YOU can, stick with it, and fuck everyone else. But keep asking questions, listening to answers. You might find new ideas or tricks to try. Give advice of your own for what works for you and why, so the next newbie might miss making some mistakes YOU did.

We're a community of people with a common interest, and this is a long way from a "perfect science", yet.
 
Think of it as a huge group of parents constantly discussing the best way to raise children.  You might prefer non-corporal punishment, while I feel that spanking during the period they can't have "why" explained in terms they can understand, and CANandPROUD might believe that you apply the belt, within reason, right up until they're making adult decisions....and it's possible we'll all get extremely well behaved kids with ambition, high work ethic, and a drive to be successful. Or MINE, being the ones handled halfway in between the two of you might end up as a pregnant teen, a juvie hall graduate, and a high school dropout, while yours graduate MIT's post grad Electronics Engineering program and Johns Hopkins Medical School, while CANandPROUD's all graduate suma cum laude from undergrad programs at good schools with arts degrees that'll get 'em in the door at lucrative but unrelated to their degree jobs.

But we can, and should, discuss to no end what we do and why, to get our results, and what those results WERE, so others can try them, if they think those solutions are applicable, or will work better in their conditions.

 

well said and thanks for the semi shout out haha 

 

Your new set up is looking good. The better the environment the better the plant. I've read.......If the leaves are turning yellow it may be due to over watering??? How frequent do you water???

 

I water every three days so at least you can rule out over watering Your pics look great.
 
The new growths (I believe)  are the plant beginning to form their sex. Although its premature now, the sex will reveal its first sign in these places and there are a lot of helpful hints about this on here which is pretty cool. Are your plants both fems????

 

Getting pretty.

 

niceeee

 

Ditched my aluminum foil today! You can dooo it;-)
 
Looking good!!!!

 

The plants are looking good so far!!

I think that white plastic stuff will actually take away from your reflectivity, and it could melt. Foil Mylar or panda plastic is your best bet. Or you can just use flat white paint. All three are great options!

 

juat wanna point put lumens is not the best way to messure light as its in respect to human eye so a green light will put out more lumens than a red light of same wattage. As humans eyes are more responsive to green light..
Also nasa has proven plant do use some green light there are some pigments that can use it to make energy
