sounds good i'll look into that, i have the scotts u use so i'll continue to use that too thanks for ur help

im also planning to get anywhere from 6-10 cfl's

im going to prob germinate some more seeds and plant those in place of the mids plants tonight too

well i removed all my mids plants so that i only had the one dro plant, i revived it and it was standing up straight again so i moved the lights together and closer like everyone said and i went to work out, came back, and it was fucking deader than anything so fuck these plants, im starting over from scratch, ima do it right, mylar, fans, bigger pots, new seeds, new soil, and a fuckin hps light

how many watts should i get in the same amount of room i used before?

i wouldnt use a hps for veg if thats what ur planning, mh are better as they have the rite spectrum, took me months to get around the light problem, i thought i new it then somethin else would come thru.. im not listenin to what anyone says bout lites now as i got mine and dont wanna go thru it again lol.

how big was ur grow room? i forgot soz. I went tru lites wiv someone told the all about how many lumens per sq ft and all bout lumens from the sun ill try n find it...

wanna c my plants and have a gd chat add me on msn [email protected]. light: omg this was a nightmare 4 me! Spent like £400 in the end! just on lights. so this is what i got out of me research..

It is recomended 2000 - 5000 lumens per sq ft i have a 10000 lm envirolight wiv daylight spectrum, covers 2sq' so thats 5000lm/sq' (keep in mind the sun produces 10000lm/sq' oviously wiv a daylight spectrum. Thats y things grow well in summer outside)

Also remember that you cant give your plant too much light only too little. what you using for flowering?

The way to tell if the dont get enough light is if they grow tall 'strecthing for the light'.
as for watering theres a thread round here but dont ask me as i overwaterd it.
mine grew bout 2mm of leaf per day bit like urs, looked exactly like it. after the first couple of weeks its now growing several leafs per day! very fast

that was it

im starting over, lots of pics, new thread will be under closet growing.....

nvm im posting it in indoor grow i will get more attention and more of the help i might need

post the link here

Hey, aznson. I'm glad you decided to take it seriously this time around. :thumbsup: Do your research, and it will pay off, seriously.

Yea, bro, you can't really leave little sprouts like that for days unattended and expect them to live. But, meh...good you killed 'em now and had that experience instead of killing them after a month or 2 and having to start all over then.

Give your room a makeover. Mylar or matte white paint on the walls. Get some good lights (CFLs and/or HPS or T5 lights) Keep them as close as you can. Ventilation is champ...Then you will be on the right track.

Good luck. Looking forward to your new grow. :greenthumb:

i'll post the link as soon as i post it, i already got mylar i just have to put it on the walls, and i got 4 42watt cfl's rated at 150 watts with like 1950 lumens each, 2 more of those lamp clamp things, my set up will be similar but much improved i cant wait till tonite, i got a bunch of seeds germinating as we speak

how does everyone do that? i put mine between paper wet paper towels for a couple days what r some other/better/faster ways?

o i cant wait haha i got a thermometer too and a time release watering thingy

FUCK ME i just noticed this, i already had one 42 watt bulb and it was rated at 2700 lumens, the ones i bought are the exact same thing (42 watts but puts out like 150 watts) but the lumens are different the one i bought earlier puts out 2700 lumens and the 3 i just got only put out 1950 lumens, is this a problem for like 4 plants? i'll have 600 watts total, is that enough? am i going to need to switch cfl's to some other tyhpe of light? ive heard of grows with cfl's for veg and flower, i hope i'll be able to, if i need to buy mroe i will
