First Time (More or less...)

Thanks for the feedback :thumbsup:

Looks like the one I thought for sure was gonna die will live, the leaves shriveled a bit but it perked back up today. The eldest is doing great and goin on next set of leaves and the sprout died or was so close to death that I didn't bother tryin to save it (no big loss if my theory of where the seed came from is right, was shwag and the other two were from a great bag).

Will probably post new pics monday

Mine came from ebay, 140 dollars (took a few days of bidding to get it that low).

Can anyone reccommend a good automatic timer (needs to have a three-prong outlet)?

Check out Home DePot, they have some in the lightbulb & extension cord sections...get digital if possible.

i got mine at a lil place called ocean state job lots... it was $2 and is analog. has lil multi colored prongs that tell you when it turns on and off. look at a salvage store if you know what that is. or go to Casa DePot.. the christmas section has tons of timers now.. make up some BS and they will hook you up

Thanks to both of ya, looks like Home Depot it shall be.

Plants are doin well, like I said before the one that wilted is struggling to recover but the leaves and stem have stiffened back up and new growth is slowly starting back up so I'm just watching to see what happens.

The healthy plant (that wasn't transplanted) is growing though I'm not sure if the pace is average or maybe a bit slow - will post new pics soon - waiting on my camera to arrive.

I realized lookin at the older pics how much she (hopefully) has grown so figured I'd go ahead and post a new pic.

Couldn't tell ya exactly but tri-bands (what I have) are primarily red, then blue, then white I believe (been a while since I bought it) so while most are red, the 2ndary color is blue (thus the pinkish-purple glow). As far as I know they do pretty well for veg and maybe a bit worse for flower (someone else can confirm/deny as this is my 1st grow).

As for yours my guess is that they might be restricted for space if they're still in cups? Or maybe not getting enough light, they seem to be further along in the number of leaves than mine, just much smaller... I'd ask around.
