What kind of light is that? I can't tell from the pix.
Whats your soil mix?
Dboy
i am not to sure the light doesnt say much on it. the bulbs are 42 watt philips master pl-t 840/4p.the soil is ordinary compost.
i see that you have little twigs holding the plants up. if you get a fan in there to gently blow them then they will get stronger stems and support themseves.
does the fan need to blow right at them?? will this not cool the grow room down???
i was thinking of getting one of these lights what do you think???

it shouldn't be a problem with temperature. you can have it blow right at them but it shouldn't blow on htem very hard. it just neads to make them wiggle a little bit. That would be a realy good ligh to get, make sure you find a socket that will fit it though. i have been trying to get some 65 watt cfls but it has a big... idk what it's called but the part you screw into the socket is huge. That cfl would be plenty of light for veging 2 plants.
plus with cfls ytou canget them realy close to the plants without burning them. plus haveing alight close will make it grow more compact wich is good for saving space.
another good thing for developing the strength is music, the vibrations have the same effect as the fan and it speeds growth too... this is of course only if you dont have to worry about neighbors and shit.
blast some heavy metal in the grow room. Bring in some subs, cuz the bass is what does the trick
your killing me...Quote:
