  1. hey :bongin:  so its my first time trying to grow a plant.  I had seeds in my bud and I did the paper towel method, within 2 days the roots were white n long I planted it in a cup with holes in the bottom for water drainage. I water only when the top layer gets dry ( 1-2 times a day) then at night I put in a dark place. every time I check on it, it is longer . The stem is getting so long I don't want it to give in and wilt over
     
    should I add more soil to the cup so it covers the long stem more ? or use something to hold it up/support it?
    I have no major grow lights but I use 86 lumens florescent and have been keeping it 4-5 inches above it idk if im doing it right I know 84 is not a lot but its just for now since its tiny.  any tips fellow growers/potheads? :confused:  :smoke:

  2. When they stretch like that it means they need more light.
     
  3. I water plants that size once every two days maybe.

    I agree with the poster above. They stretch towards a light source.
     
  4. More light ad less water. Stick your finger in the soil if it is dry 1inch under than it needs water if its moist then dont water.
     
  5. Why are you starting right before winter???
     
  6. Well I hope u mean watt not lumen if so get another one of those.. an extra small fan and watch temperature water thoroughly to where a little drains out bottom but shouldn't water more than once a day and try to get it to every other day and your going to need some type of nutrient supplement
     
  7. At least 300 watt in power would be good to get the little lady going ! :) good luck let me know what goes down !
