I need indoor growing advice

does anyone have advice on growing indoors using natural sunlight

PS. how long can a plant go w/o water

Is 90* degrees to hot for a plant?

Right now I have a 4 day old seedling in a 4in pot in my windowsil im not sure what kind of soil its in but its very light and has sponge rocks in it

A plant grows best at 75-80F but it wont do any harm, i mean, they are grown on the equator.

Plants can go a few days without water.

Now, read the faqs cos that way you havnt got to ask questions that have already been answered

Hi mr. thirst quencher!

GOOD luck, most indoor grows that use natural light end up not getting long enough daylight for healthy vegatative growth... 18+ hours

and they usualy stretch because the intensity is not adequate...

You could use CFL's and supplement it with natural light...

iloveyou

i have some tube lights in my garage would those be o.k can my plant survive 5 days w/o water? and how much water does it need

what about direct sunlight?

what does it mean when the round leaves start to brown?

Your having a laugh mate!

You cant be serious?

Read the Faqs

how about you tell me instead?:)

should i leave it under those lights overnight?

LIP your NOT really any help!!!

if the embreyo leaves start to brown, is that heat stress? should i bring my plant in if its 100 outside?:):)

OMG how are you gonna grow when you have not done a lick of research....LIP told you what you need to know...SEARCH BUTTON. And Garden Knowm told you what lights to use CFL's. Leave them under those for 18+ hours and have the lights about and 1inch away. Every question you have, i promise someone else has aksed it also....just look around, good luck

at 90 degrees the temperature CAN affect your plant's abilitiy to process photosynthesis.

100+ is a little too warm for a seedling in my opinion, it's definitely possible to grow it in that climate, but you may stress the poor little girl out.

thanks for the advice everyone but where can you buy those lights besides the internet and how much are they ? :)

any store target, home depot, lowes, walmart has 3 packs of 100watt cfls for like 8 bucks.

Those 3 packs are only like 26w i believe

agreed... just another person thats expecting to be spoon fed w/ information.

what about aces hardware I guess i can walk 2 miler for them do you think you can find lamps their to?

the embreyo leaves are browning what causes this and are phillips alto lights good for the plant i have only one seed left:)

I have of those tube lights in my garage.:):):)

you can use the tube lights.. keep them as close as possible... yuo can go 5 days without watering a mature plant.. no problem.. just make sure you saturate the soil before you leave.. with at least 1/2 gallon of water... and leave any water that builds up in the catch tray.. do not drain it or pour it out..

love IS NOW..

those tube lights are on the ceiling any ideas on how i can get the plant closer than 2 feet?
btw. thanks for all the help:):):):)

the plant is now a few inches from the light on an unstable stack of boxes if the round leaves are browning and sort of curling up what is wrong with the plant?

I also have a camping lantern with the same sort of light in it, should I use that instead I could probally get that light 1in away from the plant:) what do you think?:)

ever heard of asking more than one question in one post?! your posting the hell outa this thread and lip is right man you can answer youre own questions in less time than it takes these people to post if you just look at the faqs

im no grower, though mabye when im older, alot of the question su aksked ive read about in grow guides and in detail in seperate topics on the board, try searching for grow guides, or the topics u wish too gain knowledge

it fuken died
thanks though

fuck!! :(

the stem turned pale and soon after that it died:(:():(:( qlO_Olp

hi mr. thirst quencher...

sorry about your death... don't let it make you upset... you are growing for enjoyment...

iloveyou...

you will have plenty of other opputunities...

smiling is good for you and the entire planet...

It's getting older.
Thats normal.

how old/big are these plants? how big are your pots?
the leafs you are talking about browning,this is normal after a few weeks
knowm is right on about the 5 days,only if your pots are 8in or bigger.
and the temps are down.at 90 degrees and direct sun, 5days is streching it.
good luck.

now i understand how the growers feel, at least do a little research before asking the same questions that has been asked a thousand times. after doing research if you still don't understand then ask.

i just got some new seeds, hopefully these will grow to be big healthy plants

ps. i will update you guys weekly im germinating today :)

ok its been two weeks since i planted the germinated seed and its on its third set of leaves, fouth set just begging to develop and starting to stink.
does anyone know why the bottom leaves and first set are slightly turning yellow?

i water the plant once every five days and it gets natural sunlight

am i over or under watering my plant?

I'm guessing its a lack of nitrogen
what can i feed my plant? miracle grow? :)
