Wilt

[Da1KrayzieThug]

My oldest plant is 8 days old. It seems to be growing kinda slow but I blame that on my light (150W CFL less than 1" away). It started wilting and someone before told me it would change when I replanted but when I look at other peoples' plants when theyre about as old theirs seem to be strong. Could it be because it stretched in the beggining? I now use a fan on them 24/7 and it seems to be stronger but the leaves are still wilting (I don't think I overwater). I would really appreciate if anyone could help.

Da1.

Your plant is perfectly fine.

CUnt whore and slut and bitch were all like that.

Just like it.

They dont appear to be wilting. they appear thick and full leaves.

they are jut curling. It will come out of that phase when you transplant. Probalby not before that either. So get used to it. Again, kinda blurry, but they look really fine...perhaps a bit stretched but ok. For now.

Let me explainwhat I would do if those were mine.

1. You need more light. Odd are you do not have a 150W CFL. You would need a mogul base for that. I thought I read you didnt have one of those. Your 150W CFL is probably in reality a 47W CFL that emits light equal to 150W incandescent.

Read the fine print. I think your plants are stretching a bit and its is becuase of your lighting, or rather, your lack of lighting.

Get at least 3 more of those bulbs if you can afford it.

2. I dont like white cups, pots or any plant container that is semi translucent. I think they let in too much light to the soil. I would wrap them in foil, or set them inside a bigger cup of a diff color.

3. They are doing fine leaf growth for 8 days. But it is important to stay on them to coax them to open up. Once you transplant they will take off. But get more light before you even consider that.

I hope the best for them friend.

HAPPY GROWING.

Thanks for the response harddon, you put so much ease to me and yea the CFL is 42 i meant it puts out 150W. Im gonna get another one and have them both shoning on the plants. They stretched in the begging because I had a few light problems but now I can almost garuntee they wont stretch. After I replant should I put fert in with em in a 3 gal and just leave em in there? By the time for flowering I'll prolly have a much better light setup so that shouldn't be a problem. Also Im switching to 18/6 (they were on 24/0) for about a week. Then move up a little more slowly just like you are with lowering to 12/12 for flowering. Again thanks for the advice it means a lot. Goodluck with you grow!

Da1,

As far as ferts are concerned, I have only used bat guano. I think many people start fucking with ferts in soil grows and just create imbalances.

If I were you, I would not fert until you need it.

Also,if I were you, I would not go to a 3 gallon plant container yet.

My plants are in an 8" wide pot, only 5 inches deep of which only 4 inches is soil. I want to coax the roots to grow out and wide, as opposed to the 'tap' root shooting down right now. My plants should not have to have a ong tap root for water as I should be providing all that they need right now.

Flower time, I will go with a 5 gallon bucket and dry conditions to get the tap root all excited and force growth. Once the tap root hits paydirt, with lava rock at the bottom, the bud explosion will begin.

Also if I were you, I would get 2 more lights, not 1 more. IF you want to bring out the potential of the plant, you MUST.

Good 6.3 ph water, dechlorinated. CHLORINE KILLS LIFE.
A good tea of bat guano every now and then.

And your plants should look like these...in 28 days:

HAPPY GROWING!

Sweet thanks for the advice again and how's this for the next pot?

EDIT: not the pringles can lol :D

[HARDDON]

I would go with that for now.

But you need more light my friend. All the pots in the planet wont help if you dont get some lights on them.

good luck and HAPPY GROWING!
