Hi everyone .. I am a first time grower and would like two know wot you think of my set up ???? :) And how my plant look's .... This is week 2
change the light cycle to 12:12 soon and it should be flowering after about 2 months and you shoud havee a nice smoke what variety is it
are you feeding it
Ignore him, don't change it to 12/12, its too small.
I see you're using a regular (incandescant) lightbulb, that is no use whatsoever for growing, thats why your plant is skinny and kinda pathetic, it may suffice at the moment but not only is it being EXTREMELY wastefull of your electricity your plant isn't going to get much better than that.
Simply changing that bulb to a compact fluorescant (energy saving bulb as we call them in the UK) and lowering it will increase your chances of success.
Good luck,
Jonny
how mutch will a new bulb cost and where can i get 1 ??
It's a 70w sodium bulb .. Is it any use ????????????????????????????????
As you can see the plant is streching,its tall and skinny.The plant is looking for a stronger light source.You need to get a stronger light.
seedlings dont really like sodium lamps.too much red.. hence the stretching.
seedlings like blue light like halide or cool blue floros.
get yourself some floros they are quite cheap
and put your floro about an inch from the top of the plant for 18 hours a day.
I agree, ligth = energy, You can get more green mass weigth per foot tall with more ligth, the plant will be shorter but with more or biger leaves.Quote:

I think that for starters, you have the light WAY to high over the plant. I start plants with several compact flourescents and they have NEVER gotten that tall with that few leaf sets. Bring the light as close as possible with out burning the plant. Jonny is right about waiting to flower, needs to be alot more mature. If you cannot afford a larger light, supplement that light with as many compact flourescents as you can afford. They can be kept about 3" from the plants with no ill effects as long as the room is a good temp. Keep in mind that as you double the distance from the plant, the light intensity decreases by the square. A plant that is 10" away recives ALOT less light than one that is 5" away.
Thanx 2 all of you ..... :) ;) :p :eek: :rolleyes: :cool:
im growing some like his but my plant is shorter and is 6 weeks old and is only 9inchs tall with 8 sets 16 branches and mine are alot skinnier whats wrong with mine and its starting to have little leaves come out of the nodes

Yes, it is... can you post a close-up pic of the bulb... with it turned OFF... so we can read what it says?Quote:

Plants prefer MH (metal halide) for vegetative growth, and HPS for flowering. But, there are people that grow the entire plant (seedling-->veg-->flower) with a HPS.
Lower the bulb, as much as possible. Watch out for heat... don't burn your plant. Use "the hand test" to see how much you can lower your bulb.
""""Do the "hand test". Place your hand where the plants' tops are... does your hand get burned?
Yes? Lights should be farther.
No? Lights can stay, or move them closer.""""""

I just wrote a long response t this thread,,,, some how it got lost.. : (
If your bulb is a 70 watt HPS bulb it is great!!!
You plant looks amazing for a NEWBIEE for 2 weeks..
Get a fan and have it blowing at your light.. It should blow the heat away from your plant...
Get that light LOWER. about 1-4 inches from your plant..
You can flower NOW!!!
BUt i is recomended that you clone forst and then FLOWER.....
: )
