  1. Hey guys hows everyone doin,so this is my first time growing.I followed the process of germination successfully and what not and now one of my plants isnt looking so healthy(or is it?!?).Anyways,this plant is on about his 3rd week of growing.Light schedule is 18/6 on 4 Floros 120 watts each about a foot above the plant.There are fans on the plant so it shouldnt be getting that hott,plant is watered every other day(some times just misted if thats all it needs to make the soil damp).What am I doing wrong,is it time to move him into a bigger pot?Any help will be greatly appreciated,I tried looking around on here but cant seem to pinpoint my problem.Thanks again!

  2. first of all, the yellow leaves that look dead, they are supposed to do that. once they serve their purpose of getting the plant going, they die and fall off.

    second of all you do NOT want two plants in the same pot. it just wont work.

    third of all, those leaves are entirely too fat. thats a sign of overwatering. you should water every 3-4 days. stick your finger down in the soil a couple of inches. when its dry, its time to water again

    but overall, your plant is perfectly healthy and with 480 watts of cfl, those should grow pretty damn fast.

    check and see if those cfls are 2700 or 6500k. for vegging youre gonna want 6500k
     
  3. Shadowstalker,thanks for the help I appreciate it.Ill be sure to water them once the soil dries out.Anybody else want to add anything?When should I repot?Later
     
  4. that plant in the middle is scary!!
     
  5. Take the small plant out of the middle pic,the roots from one will strangle the other..

    I had some plants look like that and the they went hermie hope yours dont...

    What size pots are your plants in? looks like you got some time in the ones you have but at that stage they grow fast...
    later
     
  6. you water too often, at this size once a week should be sufficient

    have you fed these any ferts?
     
  7. Thanks for the info guys,ill be sure to repot than asap if ones going to strangle the other.I havent used any ferts but I havent been watering them THAT much,I mean ill spray the soil down when it gets dry but other than that im not like flooding the plants or anything,but I guess I am if the leaves arent supposed to be that big.Any reccomendation on ferts?Ill be repoting like I said so I my as well change up a few things while I can.Thanks again guys I REALLY needed the advice!
