First indoors grow Log This is my second grow the first one was outside and did not turn out because 3 days of rain and then 3 days of like 80f+ killed it This is a little late i would say its about 1-2 weeks old 2-3 days For germination and the rest for seedling growth. Ive got it under 2 26w and 1 23w CFL with an 800rpm computer fan blowing cold air through the bottom so it stays nice and cool. The desiccant is just to get any access moisture out Up until i got this one to grow it took 3-4 attempts to Rating: 5

Cool cool thanks for the advice and i found out that 24/0 is fine all it will really do is make the plant shorter and stretch less and to just switch to 18/6 when the veg is over. Plus i don't need a 4ft tall plant since the dark period is just to copy outside light but doesn't affect it enough to worry until your ready to flower

Hey MB, Nice start man, but I think CanGroIt has the right idea. Yes, a lot of ppl use 24/0 when they have an optimum setup and know the seed will grow perfectly. Ive seen it before and happens to me when starting a new medium, but going 20/4 usually jolts mine back to life when they show signs of stunting.

Bulbs:
6500k WHITE VEG STAGE
2300k YELLOW FLOWER STAGE

No nutes yet. I use a rooting feed(high in N) when i do feed for the first time but at half strength.

I keep 4 moms in veg stage with 2x26W CFLs. Your one plant may be gettin too much light right now from those three. One is prolly good for now.

Good luck bro

more red dominant spectrum shouldn't make a plant grow like that, if anything it would stretch more.

vegging with hps does, blue light keeps things dense.
mixed spectrum is where its at

Alright i took out 2 of the 26w bulbs and ill watch if it does better still going on 24/7 since i don't have a timer and cant keep turning it on and off only water for now unless it shows signs of needing nutrients FUUU to much light lol. Ill post pics in a few

Ok only got 1 26w still on 24/7 with it it now hopefully ill see some vertical growth from it. and ill slowly add back lights once it gets bigger

and i found out that 24/0 is fine...... Just because you can, doesn't mean you should......again, just my opinion....

and to just switch to 18/6 when the veg is over...... You will have better results if you switch to 12/12 once veg is over:thumbsup:....

Plus i don't need a 4ft tall plant......I don't let my plants grow taller than 2ft....see pic....

Just remembered this is your first grow.....you'll learn....

Happy Growing!!!!

U want to give them all the light possible. I have 40000 lumens going on three plants. U just need to make sure for now most of the light Is in the blue spectrum. For instance my setup is an 8 bulb t5 six of my bulbs r blue and two r red. Hang in there. It's a lot of fun. But mainly be patient and don't over love them.

Ye well i was giving it to much light and stunting its growth so the forums says
