First plant how am i doin?

You should just leave her under the lights and move them closer. They look a little stretchy.

 

Do you know what strain it is? my plant is same age, 16days and looks about the same. I thought it was stunned, but i guess it could just be genetics

 

Wow the name of the strain doesn't matter MJ isnt about that.

 

Maybe not when you're smoking but it matters a lot when you're growing... every strain has different characteristics during the various stages of growth, and a good grower should always know what strain he is using so he can grow it to its best potential.

Also, if you plan on breeding, strain is everything...

 

HAH! I like your light setup, its so ghetto haha but hey man whatever works.

 

New to the forum. 6 soil harvests under my belt so take my advice with a little more caution than some other forum members. First off, i Love the ghetto setup. Try to invest in lighting first and then nutrients. And ghetto doesn't necessarily mean bad. I believe growing is the greatest hobby you can have. The time and effort will pay off. The better you treat her, the better she'll behave. And vice versa. Your on the right track but you will have to upgrade lighting SOON.

 

You can...but it may become frustrating once a few months have passed and your still not in the pre flowing stage. Its important to be patient when growing mj for the first time. But proper lighting effects rate of growth, yield, and quality. If you know for a fact you can't get anymore lighting, mylar is a must. Coleman makes thermal blankets for around 3 dollars a piece. Best reflective material u can use. Get em at walmart. It'll maximize the lumens put off by your light. Also make sure a small fan circulates air through the grow room. Hope this helps.

 

I'd suggest a couple 5600k CFLs about 2"-3" away from the plant. It is rather underdeveloped for 3 weeks, but that can change.

CFL bulbs experience diminishing returns on spectrum output after about 6 months of use. If those are older bulbs than they may not be giving off enough of what the plant needs. During the first week of life they don't need as much nutes, but should be larger than what she currently is. That is why I'm leaning toward light deficiency.

When she goes into flower you will want to add some 2600k lighting, and don't forget a bit of bloom nutes. Use a little less than half of whatever the bottle says.

G'luck.

 

Try placing a bowl or better yet a square cake pan full off water in there with it, This will raise your humidity without risking burn spots from spraying with lights on.
