is this normal? or bad?

[mosaka]

heyz peeps. this plant is about 2 weeks old, 12.5cm high :D

on 1 of the leafs (the biggest 1 and oldest 1) the left side is curving inwards. is this just the light placment? are is this normal :confused:

i am grwoing purple wizard, atm under a normal desktop lamp, but 2moz they will be growing under 1 - cool white 1 - warm white fluorescents :D

it is in normal soil, advertised as germinating, seedling, vegertation soil.
and i sprincled a tiny bit of mg particles on it for 1 day, then took them out again after i read about mg problems :cool: :rolleyes: :eek:
i am watering it with tap water (left to stand over night to get rid of clorine)
can u plz tell me also if ma plant is healthy ?

the 2nd and 3rd pic shows>>>>>>>how it is caving inwards a bit>>>>

thnx

Its hard to see those pictures because of your light and the way you took em, the 2nd picture looks really odd for a leaf. I would say that isnt 12.5 cm high and I think you need a more powerfull light other then your lamp man....

WHat he said. :)

What is your water pH?

[mosaka]

i am getting a pH meter 2day in the post hopefully. as i gather i think it is pH of 6. i mite get a new light 2day (cool white flouressent 1200 lumes) as i can not use hid lamps, because they give out to much heat. so you think it is the lack of light? and the wrong spectrum?

Yes I do think you are lacking light, that plant in 2nd pic looks like it was slightly overwaterd. As I can see you're using one of those little bedtime lamps from wal-mart so yah you definatly need something stronger. That flouro 1200lumes should do it for a bit.

ye. im planting 10 more, doing a sog with em. putting all 11 of them under 1 cool white and 1 warm white flourescents. both 1200 lumes. and building a reflector (not with mirrors are aluminuim, im not to keen on them, they eat up leat) im going to use something white :D :P

ye joel, i think it was a lil over watered. 4 new sets of leafs came out 2day

I think your going to need more then just 2 lights, a 400w HID light covers a space of ( 6 x 6 ft ). Your 1200 lumes flouros might not do the trick for 10 plants. You could do roughly 4-5, anything higher then that without anymore lights just wont grow. You would spend more money trying to fix it then you would make out of it. ( If you're selling it ).

I'm not an expert by any means, but it looks as though your little one is stretching very badly. It's hungry for light.

What wattage light are you using? And how far from your seedling is it?

How often are you watering?

You have to slow down and read the current posts man, hes using a shitty desk-lamp.

I realized, I meant wattage-wise. Trying to cover all the bases.

:p
ye i know i need more than 2. im probs gonna have 4, 2 coolwhite, 2 warmwhite. i cant use hids are any of tht, as my space is limited, and i will have a problem with the temp. also, i didnot want to spend alot of money on anything tht controls the invoroment. as i think tht is not needed in a sog. i have put tht 1 plant in a cardbord box, with white linings on it, puting the lamp (shity deskptop1) 1 inch over it. this really help, as it has grown 2cm in 2 days with the lights on all the time. I am going on holiday on thursday, so there will be no point installing any more lights and planting 10 more seeds. while i am on my holiday i will be just using the window as my light sorce, putting it in a position were they will get between 4-7 hours of light. And placing them in small bowl with just enough water (i havnt the time to get a self watering system or to build 1)when i come back (in 12 days) i will be making my side loft into a proper sog grow room, instaling all the lights, lining the walls with mayl. and installing a fan. I will be watering them manualy.


At what stage do i need any nutrients or plant food in a sog???
