First Time grower with questions

u should just use the hps and the floro's now keep the hps on the same amount of light the floro's are on each day.and thats not to much light just make sure the hps is not to close dont want the plant to burn
but ya the more light the better

 

As Charlie said pout both on.... Keep your hps about 18 inches or so from the top of your plants, you want the temp abover your planst to stay around 80 or so... This distance should keep it around that.... I would place your fluros to the sides of plants so you have surrounded light...

 

firstly, put the HPS approx 8" from the tops of the plants, as long as the temp is o.k......block up a normal thermometer to the height of the highest plant and keep the temp between 70-80.......when the light is this close the temp will raise, hence why you should have a fan blowing across the tops of the plants.....this distance will help make the plants more bushy.......i keep my lights on 24/0 for veg and then straight to 12/12 when they hit approx 12-18"......however if you want a bigger yield and have room, and also time then grow bigger........just bear in mind that the plant will double or triple in size when fully flowered.........as for the ferts, only after approx 20 days....or before if you like but 1/4 strength....hope this helps......Peace out.....Sid

 

never give up on plant as long as it's still alive......here's what to do......bury the plant in as much soil as possible......over the cotyledons......and raise the light till it ready under 80......if the plant is still weak then support it using a small stick.....don't tie it on too tight as the stalk will get bigger quite quickly......and put the fan on it at a slow to moderate setting......this will strengthen the stalk.....make sure it doesn't run out of water, but not too much and take it from there......good luck.....Peace out.....Sid

 

sorry not 18... i meant around 8.... thanks SiD.....

 

hey pitt the cotylodon will fall off anyway and so will the one singal leaf to.this wont kill the plant its normal for this to happen the cotylodon is just there to help get the plant thru the seedling stage after the cotylodon and the 2 singal leaves fall off no more should fall of till ur in 12/12 the reason they fall of is kuz there not getting enough light and the plant is putting everything into makeing budds but this ok with indoor the lower leaves mostly always go yellow or fall off so dont worrie as long as the yellowing dosen't move up all ur leaves u should be fine
hope that helps some

your welcome mate.......as for the plant in hand......all you can do is wait and see.....but if the leaves are bad then it may be too late, if they canot be used for photosynthesis, then the plant will not grow......just have to wait and see.......Peace out.......Sid
