This plant look healthy to you?

[keeko]

how old and what kind of light is it gettting?

[tomm01]

Oh yeh, sorry....

3CFL's equal to 4650 lumens
It's about a month old to 5 weeks but that's because at first I only had one CFL. Since I started using 3 it's been about 2-3 weeks.

offly small for its age. looks like it needs some nutes.

what kind of dirt is that? Looks like you may need to add perlite or just get better quality dirt. Soil quality is of equal importance. If the roots are getting stuck in HARD clumps of dirt then it could lead to stunted growth.

[tomm01]

I don't think the dirt is the problem, not in terms of clumps anyway it's light as a feather and the roots are pretty big, like twice bigger than the plant, although I may need some nutes. I'll probly just try to find a good soil with things ganja needs instead of just adding it in to this dirt. Coz this one is FULL OF BUGS!!!! Look at them! and just last night they had about 20 babies

[tomm01]

K I just put heaps of nutes in and new soil as well as pyrethrin its like 1/3 - 1-2 full now because it didnt need that much soil. I put this stuff in that helps with root growth when transplanting but the soil is pretty dense when wet so I might need some perlite still I'll update in about a week Thanx u two!

[keeko]

heaps???........if your plant hasnt had any nutes you adding heaps probably will not help. you should start off gradualling adding more every other feeding. exactly how much is 'heaps' to you?

and those look like fugus gnats you have....caused from not letting your soil go dry.

[tomm01]

Yeh, I think they were fungus gnats but they're gone now. Along with my plant :(

I'm not sure how much I put in lol, numerous handfulls of this stuff, stupid hey. Should've waited for you to post lol
I think it was more the transplant that killed it. I did it way too slowly. Within minutes of being in the new soil it was wilting. Although I've done the same thing before with it and it was fine so I spose it could have been mega nute burn or something. The leaves started going yellow and got burnt looking tips.

Well, it's dead now R.I.P my first baby. :(
I smoked some last night in memory of you. :rastasmoke:

Ok so one thing before I try again, my soil went REALLY hard after I added these nutes in, I felt it and it was almost like clay but crumbly. Any idea why? It was those kind that are in little balls or stone kinda things. Think I just put way to much in?

[tomm01]

Ohhhh yeah!
Well my left over seeds ALL failed!!!! wtf????

I've been trying for 'bout two weeks to get them to work but no luck, even split them open by hand. Then I remembered!!!!
I planted a few in the backyard coz they looked pissy and didn't have enough room inside. I went out there in the middle of the night with a lighter to see if any survived. Oh my f'in god!!!!
This little baby survived in the middle of FRIKKEN' WINTER!!!!
Tiny ass leaves but I brought it inside and it's nice and warm and cozy now under one warm cfl to begin with then gonna slowly add more. Wish me luck!

[tomm01]

K so I have that plant goin' but I had thrown two seeds into this bucket of extra dirt in my room for when I'm transplanting. I split one seed open by hand because is was really god damned hard. I just threw one in there coz I was pissed that no seeds worked. Well I walked past and.... :eek: A little seedling caught my eye. I was surprised it could stand all the crap I'd been putting into there. Water run-off etc.

Anyway I put into another cup and both under lights, one each but pretty close together. Then this morning I had this genius plan *cough* to tape the lights horizontally so the plants would get more light. (They were previously hanging upside-down). Well the tape unstuck and lent on the new seedling for I don't know how long. Probly 10-20 mins.

So I was wondering if anybody has had this happen and the plant still survive. Should I give it any special care or just leave it under the previous conditions and hope it pulls through? Lights are fixed now. I guess that'll teach me to be prepared better. It was looking so f'in healthy as well, best seedling I've seen in fact.

shit is not happening for ol tom

[tomm01]

Shet's happening now tho.
Plant that had the light on it is pretty much done for I NEED HELP!!!!

[tomm01]

Ok I just read again what you said ganjninja and I don't know what you mean lol.

Anyway my plants are dead. I just don't have enough money to spend on anything decent to grow in or with whatever. Maybe when I get my own house and a room specifically for it I will try to grow again, for now it's just not worth it. I'll continue to lurk these forums and support others though.

Byes all! Thanx for your help.
