Usually droopy leaves mean the plant needs water. Lights too close is usually shown by the plant with tips of the leaves turning brown showing the plant is being burned.

hi i have 3 cfl light as know i have 3 plants just got two more.I have just had the light off for 2hrs as i want out and forgot i pulled the plug out,and i have only just noticed the leaves seem abit droopy could i have the lights to close. As for plant food i will have to get some what is a cheap one to get i ant got a fan but can go out and pick one up

yo dudes droopy leaves can also mean overwatering pictures would be handy.how much u watering and r u using nuts? you should let the soil dry out between waterings. cfls can be kept as close as 2 inch witout burning the plant.. i would aim for around 4 cfls per plant the more the better..just 2 wouldn grow much. also what K are the bulbs? (kelvin is different colour spectrums/temperature). 2700k-3000k warm is best for flowering and 6000k-6700k is best for veg i use a mix of these for flower and it seems to be working well.. i tried flowering with 6000k before and the results wer crap!! excuse my french!!here is a pic of an overwatered plant, hope this helps[attachment=o286088]

hi the plant ant as bad as that pic, i think it just needed more water as its pick up abit know. What do you mean nuts ???. I have 3 cfs bulbs, it says 2700k=warm white, i will see if i can get a pic of the 2 plants up to day as there is one male there and don't know what to do with it??. should go and get plant food or tomato plant food. for the plants, how long does it take to bud ?

what i mean by nuts is (nutrients) ie= plant food!! plants need different amounts of n.p.k for veg and flowering. (N)=nitrogen (P)Phosphours (K)Potassium. plants in the veg state use higer amounts of (N) and lower amounts of (P) and in the flowering stage uses less (N) and more (P) so two different feeds for both veg and flower work well!! i use organic BIOBIZZ Bio-Grow for veg and and tomato feed for flower.dont like using chemicals after all we dont want to be smoking these chemicals so i go the organic route better tasting buds by far.. these work well for me anyway and the results are good. ya 2700k warm works well for flower but no so good for veg i uses a mixed spectrum of bulbs 3x 2700k and 2x6400k thes work well for both veg and flower. WHAT a male get that mother fucker out of there straight away if it pollnates your female, the female will put its energy into producing seed not bud. destroy the male or else move it far far away from the female once the male sacks open it releases pollen into the air. just a small amount of pollen can ruin your whole crop. even if you have the male far from the female and the pollen from the male gets on your hands or clothes and then you touch the female it will still ruin your crop. get some picts up man they mean a thousand words>>>>

sorry cj5787 dude forgot to answer your question how long will it take to bud? anywer from 6 weeks to 12 maybe even more all depants on the strain and growing conditions. for the best harvest time keep a close eye on the tricomes (the waxy liquid that ozzes from the leaves) when to harvest depends on what kind of high your after. when the tricomes turn milky you will want to start thinking of harvesting. once the tricomes go past the milky stage they turn amber.. milky tricomes=lighter head high buzz. amber tricomes= couch lock all over body stone depends on what stone your after i like a 50/50. 50% milkey and 50%amber.. you will need a 100x microsope to see the tricomes you can buy them on ebay for less than 10 dollars.. hope this helps..

Yo dude dont use merical grow full of chemicals for the best tasting buds use organic nuts... nice plants you should replant them in bigger pots they look pretty small what size are they?? your plants will double in size during flowering if there all females man your going to get a big yeild...move your lights closer around 2 to 3 inch from plants this reduces stretch..your lights look pretty far to me. add more lights maby 3 more the more the bigger the buds..you should put sides and a top around the plants paint them white it will reflect alot of light its cheap i built my box for 40euro got the panals in hardware store.. important if your in 12/12 the dark period cant be interuped if any light at all hits the plant during the dark period even for a second it will stun the plant and turn it hermie or male happened me before and ya defantly dont want that. the whloe grow would be a complete wast of time.. also in the pics i notice your plants seem to be eaten by some kind of insect the leaves are damaged.. i cant tell from your pic if its male, female or hermie just look up the net for picts of females..males and hermies(hermie is a plant that has both male and female flowers)but if your plants have hairs cumin out of the ball shapes there girls..males look like little bunches of grapes with no hairs happy growing:hippy:

ya when i had the plants the leaves have been eat, if i get some new pots do i just pull them out nice and slow and put more soil in the new pots with the old stuff, the plants are over 2ft tall, i will go and move them closer now, i am going to take this miracle-gro back and get the tomato food.as for the side and top just make a box out of wood i guess. the little plant as only got hairs right at the top on the little ball i can not see any going down the plant like i can on the two big ones ? i am 50/50 thank you for all your help :thumbsup:
