Hi all, I'm a first time grower and am very new to cultivating anything much less Marijuana. Anyhow I currently have 4 seedlings that I started from seeds. My setup is closet, I'm using 4 23watt cfls but I have plenty more I water once a week. There is plenty of ventilation 9in fan inside the closet a humidifier at an 18in open door of the closet And a fan blowing on the outside as well. I leave door cracked while door cracked while ights are on. Temperature 80.4, humidity 43% ights 18/6. I have seen other pictures of 2 week old seedlings that seem to be a lot bigger. As you can see the leafs look green and green and healthy. Also it seems as if the have stopped growing taller
and are barely growing bigger leaves. I can't seem to figure it out
But I'm so new to all this I'm prolly missing something simple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just found out I'm to new to post pics
I will asap, still any feedback would be great

bottomline: weak light = slow growth...:cool:...or?...you didn't say what kind of container they are in?...or what Kelvin temp your bulbs are?

normal for 3 weeks under T-12 fluoros...below

23 watt cfls are Very bad, you could get some 100 watt cfls with about 5k lumens , but you will end up buying more bulbs here and there and it acumulates, you can just buy a cheap 400 watt hps light system for about 80 bucks or less on ebay. get about 50k lumens FTW
