Survival Of The Fittest

Well this is my first plant and it was under a 26W CFL Replacement bulb, then I accidentally watered to much and my plant went to crap, wilted beyond Sh*t and I was worried that it was going to die, well during its wilting I decided to invest in a better lighting system then just one 26W CFL bulb lol, I got two T13 48" fluro bulbs and a unit as you see in one of the pictures along with the plant, its finally growing more too, I don't know what to do about the top tho and I don't know how to make it branch more off than growing straight up so any tips or anything would be appreciated im very new and im bored lol.

Keep the T-12 floro tube lights within 1-2 inches of the top of the plant. T-12's won't burn...:thumbsup:...use 6500k tubes..(cool white)

Okay =] Will Do ^_^ ty for the advice :)

when you transplant into a larger pot, you can bury some of the elongated stems, give the plant better support ... a 24-hour, oscillating fan will strengthen the plant, too :thumbsup:

Actually I have a fan in the closet that is on a timer along with my lights so every time my lights go on my fan goes on and it keeps the air circluating inside there. Yeah I plan to bury it farther down for more support because its starting to get more leaves up on top but I don't know how far I should bury it down on the stem.

you can bury it up to the cotyledons which are the first leafs that come out of the seed when you germinate it. Make sure the soil is just below it, any soil over and above the cotyledons can make the stalk rott!!


Peace,

haha my cotyledons fell off already haha.
