    i have them on 16/8 an should i start using nutrients now an if so what are some good ones
    butt let me no what you guys think
     
  2. Looks good for two CFLs.
     
  3. thanks man im going to gett some more soon
     
  4. when should my plants start showing there sex
     
  5. The plants look good as for sex, that should show reletivaly soon, although i recommend clones, so you have no need to worry.
    Here is one of the small rooms of mine 19 plants 3 weeks old under 18/6
    if you need any tips talk to me
     
  6. okay man will do im thinking bout topping them soon
     
  7. That looks awesome for a few CFL's. My only question is, why aluminum foil and not mylar? Aluminum foil reflects heat in addition to light, whereas mylar absorbs heat and reflects light. You might run into a situation where you see some curling and wonder what's up, and that'll probably be the reason.
     
  8. ya idk why i used it all i had at the time so ya butt im going to gett some mylar here soon
     
  9. just got 4 more lights i got 6 light for my plants now :)

    ill post some new pics later
     
  10. i dont no what is wrong with my plants plz help

    Over-watering, or your soil is retaining too much fluid.

    At least that's what all the leaves hanging like limp noodles says to me.

    A couple leaves in the third picture look kind of eagle clawed too, so looks like you may be having nute problems as well. You never said what the soil was, and if there are time released ferts in the soil then you could be killing them with those.
     
  12. im using garden safe organic soil

  13. Did you add perilite to the potting soil you used? Because pot likes looser airier soil than just that stuff alone, and it likes semi-dry soil. That stuff will hold too much moisture I'd assume, causing them to limp like that.
     
  14. no i didnt add any i take it i should have
     
  15. If you're planning on growing inside of a PC case, and those seeds are just bagseed, you're gonna have to kill two of them.
     
  16. Way over watered.
     
  17. Looks like possible over-fert or over-watering, as stated earlier. Let us know how this follows up.
     
  18. ok i put my finger bout a inch in the soil an it was really wet an my bigger plant is starting to look like it was ill putt some pics up in the morning
     
  19. Let the soil dry ALL the way dry. Then soak, repeat that process. That way, the roots grow, in search of water. Also how big is that pot? It looks like it's ready for a transplant.
