First Grow will my setup work?

the drooping could just be from over watering - make sure you dont water too much, you want the plant to "search" for water so the root system expands.

Keep the updates comming, I would like to see how they come along.

I have two plants of my own, Sitting on a hidden window cill, natural as F**K.. fresh, nice soil, I just let em go, they got the sun on their side.. pretty little buggers.. ones stretching, but he has support, and I dont really care about the yeild.. to me its just a learning experince to get closer to what I'd like to call a gift.

Take Care

Looking good...mine started out pretty much the same way...sometimes they'll seem like something's going wrong...you just gotta wait it out...they're much more adaptive and strong than you could imagine. They'll survive with depleted food and water better than too much food and water.

yea everythings looking good.. Been watering about everyother day..temps get up to 85f sometimes but I think thats barable also humidity is at 30% I've read its suppose to be around %50 but %20 difference doesn't seem too bad If it really does make a difference I have a humidifier I could use... post some pics tommorow

NEW GROW BOX @!#!

18" wide 18" tall 31" long

didn't have the size box I needed, so I duck taped a couple together...First I had the idea to take about my grow light fluro fixtures and mount them on my own reflector. I made the reflector out of cardboard and covered both sides in space blanket myfler stuff. Also picked up a fan that blows out at home depot for 10 bux that thing sucks the air right out going to help with temps hopefully

Lights:

2 X 20w grow light 24"
1 X 15w cool white 24"
1 X 20w home depot garden light 2400k specrum I think it said 24"
2 x 42w CFL

so that makes a total of 159w

havn't figured if thats a good amount of light for the space but guess I'll find that out later.. watered with small about of fert today too hope all goes well

peace

ONLY WATER ABOUT ONCE A WEEK!!!!! THEY DON'T NEED WATER EVERY OTHER DAY!!! Trust, I'm watering my plants once a week and they haven't died, dried, wilted or even shown the smallest sign of thirst for any given week without the water...

[jadeius]

They don't need that much humidity either...the drier it gets, the more prone they are to make resins to preserve moisture in the leaves....more potency before the flowers even bloom....and if that soil is store bought, then you don't even need fertilizers for the first 3 or 4 weeks, just water when the pots get really really really light and you can stick your finger in the dirt over 1 inch and not feel moisture....

The soil I have drys out in 1-2 days so maybe I should wait another day but I don't dare risk anything past that seems like with the soil like sand the roots would need water more often then once a week
