  1. just checked up on these lil guys (i used 4 bagseeds that i've had for about a year, two of them germinated) and here's what I found :eek: also, this is my first attempt at growing. :confused::D:wave:

  2. Holy shit. Those are very very very stretched. Get the light closer to those girls!!
     
  3. whoooooaaa, get those lights as close as possible to them and then get a small fan to blow around them (NOT DIERECTLY ON THEM) just a small breeze strengthen up those stems.
     
  4. Are you sure thats weed lol, stems are white and leaves look yellow, doesn't look like a normal MJ sprout to me.

    You should move the lights closer, lol thats some really extreme stretching right there. I would add more soil and bury the stems a bit if you can. Like Fubar24-7 said get a fan on em that will help strengthen the stems.
     
  5. It's basically too late for those, the problem being that you did not have enough light on them. As soon as you see them breaking the soil, put them directly under a daylight cfl bulb or two - close, but not too close. You don't want to bake the tender seedlings! 6 to 10 inches away should be good.
     
  6. was i supposed to leave them in a dark place until they sprouted? because that's what I did and then forgot to check on them yesterday. fuck, should i just get rid of them?
     

  7. I agree if they are cfls you can get them about 3inches away if its a flor. you can set it by the rootbase.
     
  8. ya they are too long just get some more seed started
    those are done gl

    try again using a compact florecent that has 23w (100w) make sure it says 6500k on the box. blue hue to it. DAYLIGHT. i got a pack of 5 for 11$ from lowes

    germinate your seeds by soaking in water for 24 hours. then placing in a wet paper towel and place it in a ziplock or container with lid, keep it in a warm dark place i wrap my container in a thick dark towel and place it ontop of my reptile enclosure.

    after 24 hours you should see nice sprouts. place them in what you got now, the dirt in the cup. and then put the light with in 3 inches of the seedlings make sure you get a fan on them. not blowing them over but a nice brease to move away the hot air. its best to put plastic wrap over the cups to keep in the moisture untill your sprouts get their leaves going or untill the leaves touch the plstic wrap.

    dont over water the seeds or you may have issues (like i did)
