plants looking a bit bare...

[multipletrees]

my plants have been growing for a month and a half now and theyre growing upwards at a descent rate but theyre not getting bushy at all. they just kinda look like two little umbrellas. is this normal for only a month and a half and theyll get bushier later or is there something im doing wrong? please help im a first time grower and ive read a good amount of material but cant really find anything about this and i dont have any friends that grow. thanks

Are you giving them enough light?

[multipletrees]

i have two ott lite bulbs on a 19/5 schedule everyday. the plants are usually 4-5" away from the light at all times

[davejohnwright]

Wait, what kind of light are you using.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

for a month them plants are really small. when you go into flower, you want to double if not triple the amount of light you used to veg.

[BoomBoom82]

the light seems 2far away.

[multipletrees]

what is a good distance to keep them at?

[Weedhound]

Better lighting for sure...

Stick figures...haha

[stinkyattic]

Drop your lights to within a couple inches of the plant tops.
You need to be using at LEAST CFLs for an indoor grow, if not a proper agricultural fixture.

Stick figures...haha

And that's meant to be helpful - how?

PC :pimp:

[ProGroWannabe]

True that PharmaCan. No one needs "hahaha" in response to a growing question.

Multipletrees--can you be a lil more specific on the lights your using and the plants' distance from those lights? It would really be helpful in diagnoses.

[forcus master]

They definitely need more light.

[dirfjiggler]

Okay sorry all..i just thought they looked funny.

More light is what you need and you need to put the lights real close (like a couple inches) to the top of your plants. I would say add a fan but it might break your plants in 1/2.

Do it quick before they grow to be 10 feet tall.
