Here u go my dad came bak from holiday so i got my cam Bak so the pic with 1 plant is my Clone (1 of 6 survived o well it was my first clone) and the pic with are my four seedlings theyre all Skunk #1 and theyre all lookin good plz reply as i am desperate to know wot u all think!
they look ok but they look like they are stretching for light.
how far is your light from the tops, 18 inches to 2 foot is about right.
is that a hps light youve got there.
look like they could do with a drink aswell. im sure they'll be ok.
i got 2 70w hps floodlight theyre watered about twice a day coz its really hot so the water evaporares pretty quickly but theyre really healthy and i doubt theyre stretchin for light coz their stems r already quite fat for 8 day old seedlings and a cutting btw this is my second crop and theyre much healthier and faster growing than the others so i must be doing things better and i jst use normal tap water for now till they get bigger then i start to use 5-5-5 seaweed fert so its all good atm i got the lights about 1.5-2 inches above the plants i thought it was really close but the plants arent burning so its ok i guess thanks j.g.g. i will keep postin as i go ahead btw i no 4 plants under a 70w is pretty dumb but its SoG so its all good
you say you are watering them twice a day, is that just little and often then.
when watering plants little and often the water doesnt get to the bottom of the pot and the roots can turn up looking for moisture... you dont want that to happen. its ok to let the top 2 or 3 inches of soil dry out between waterings. usually every 2-3 days.
when a plant needs water, water it well. when it doesnt need it dont water it at all. go to overgrow.com for advice on watering.. its all there.. good luck.
Cheers J.g.g. btw i got my book now Indoor mari horti by jorge cervantes so that'll help
I'd suggest you switch to a better light sourse. Flood lights aren't very efficent and they do produce a lot of heat which you know already. A more efficent light sourse will lower the temperature and help your plants grow better and healthier! :)
yeah better light would help, i would go to e-bay or something to get a discount on a hid, mh or hps that will fit your grow area
the floodlights are hps they just were stolen as floodlights
im in uk and the street lamps here are mostly hps lights..anyone got a ladder and screwdriver..
is that what you meant by floodlights.
i think so but i got sum from the ground off a building site and it said hps 70w so i got sum new bulbs and new wires
