So today is day 11 after being planted after being germinated first. I think my baby is doing well. I have fox farm coming in the mail any day now. I know my lights suck but the between the 3 bulbs I have 140watts on the plant. I will be buying new bulbs soon. It's in a closet. What do you think? Any notes on the leaves? The curling is worrying me. It's been under 24hour lights since it was planted. Started with just 60w, then added a 20w for the last few days and just replaced the 20w with the new 2 40w bulbs. Now I have it on a 18/6 time. I hope that all makes since. I'm new to this, obviously. I think I'm doing ok so far. Oh and it's cantaloupe kush from DNA genetics.
Haha I'm working on it. I'm broke as hell right now. Literally no money. So I have to work with what I have. Lol Any tips? Lol
Ok. How much closer? I had it right on it until I took these. I thought maybe the curling was from it being burned from the lights.
Oh. Duh. Sorry. Ok. So the stem get light? I think I got it. Lol Kayakush, thank you so much for helping!
interesting grow - is that a blanket wrapped around a desktop? awesome inventiveness What is the heat like in there? have you got any ventilation or odor control?
Haha thanks. It's the only milar I could find and the best space available to me that I could control. It's 2 picnic blankets that have covering the inside of a closet. The temps are pretty cold. Around 65-58F No ventilation and no odor control. Yet at least. Once fans are needed I have come ready.
Hey Looks like those are halogen bulbs? i'm almost positive those do close to nothing. Honestly, it is probably burn from the bulb being so close. You need to use CFL Bulbs, the spiral ones. 5500k-6500k for veg, 2700k for flower. You can put them alot closer, without having to worry about burning the plant... Also, you'll go by actual watts. not equivalent to incandescent bulbs. You need around 100 actual watts, with another 50 per plant. Get some CFLs and ditch the halogens asap Good luck
I go by the actual watts? Won't I need a LOT of lights then? The actual watts of cfls are like 5-15 watts.
You should be able to find some 23 watt cfl lights at Walmart if you're in the states. They're not too expensive and do waaaaaay more fore your plant. Also pay attention to the spectrum you get as mason stated. Use the 6500k for veg and 2700 for flower. Good luck and keep us updated.
Help! I go by the actual watts? Won't I need a LOT of lights then? The actual watts of cfls are like 5-15 watts. I'm in Germany. No Walmart.
yeah man u need to get at least 23 watt cfl bulbs in the daylight spectrum up 6500k. also u need a total of 100 watts per plant. i would add more if possible
