bumping into things, lol i was in a hurry, everything is good now though, just no new growth....
Also...my plant can't hold itself up so i have to tie it up with fishing wire, is this a promblem?
And does plant bending lead to any promblems? its bending towards the light but i dont want to turn the plant because the fishing wire would need untied and retied
i so glad i found u dudes...ive grown befor but not as commited as i am this time. yet even now ive messed up....lol after reading thru Jeorge cervantes "indoor cultivation" i was headed to the local hyrdoponics shop (lol i live in LA) whereby i requested some VHO flos (an 8 tube bank) and was directed by the so called expert to a a 175 watt MH hid. my sprouts came up and at the time i felt confident that they wouldnt elongate because of having an hid lamp...dumb move ...i walked in stoned marveling at all the truely neat gadgets instead of paying attention. the salesman directed me to something i knew wasnt effecient enough and way too hot...the moral being...trust your grower friends and not someone whos sole motivation is profit....
either way im here and i hope the questions i ask wont bother too many of you
PS just for the record...VHO flos or HID for starters?????
HID although they get hot, if you can have proper venting. theyre 100% worth it! i dunno about a 175 watt though, ide go with a 400
tks for the input. i guess what bothered me most was that if i HAD gone with the flos i coulda had 320W (40Wx8 tubes)with cool whites at 65K lumens rather than 175W at less than 30K lumens and the flos i coulda gotten SO much closer (almost touching) w/o burning (as it stands now i can hang the small hid like 4-6 inches over the starters i just miss the extra lumens that coulda got me a little further before i had to invest in another light). as soon as i get the bread im goin with 2 430W agro sons and a 600W sunmaster on a 12' light mover in a 10'x16' room. the thing is that now i have some starters that are streached and others that are not. the hydro aspect amazes me as in just 2 days they have already have their 1st full set of veggi leaves and have streched to like 2.5 inches. it kills me that i ve already elongated them. ill get ya some pics tomrrow...if ya dont mind lookin at starters
Yeah i dont mind......as long as you make your OWN thread...
this thread is my grow log, please dont post pics of your plant, thanks!!
Anyways.....White hairs starting to stick out everywhere in pairs of 2...What should i expect to happen next? its taken WEEKS to get like 10 white hairs, will other things happen soon? what should i expect next?
