Got a couple questions:

[ToDrunkToFish]

Ok im now about 7 days into my first growing ordeal. And they are looking quit good (I think)
But here's my questions: I got about 13 plants growing and they are all above ground but the thing is is that they all mostly got 3-4 inch stems with quite small blooming leaves, I got 2 jagged edges comin out the sides and two petal leaves comin out the other way, like a + sign. They look healthy all green and all stand quite nice with good support from stem and im just wondering if this is normal? Cause they look kinda odd all tall with small leaves cause the stems keeping growing up but the leaves arent doin much.

Also what could happen if they dont get enough light, sometimes im not home to turn on my indoor lights and the weather here in Michigan SUCKS and I cant have my dad turn on my 'Weed Lights' and I dont got a timer as of this second. But they do get light, some days 12 hours some day 5. But can it be a huge effect with not enough light as of right now?

Other then that thats about it, I hope you take time to read cause I tend to go into to much detail. Thanks

Yeah, if your not giving it light you mgiht as well give up.

They will die if you dont give them enough.

What lgihts are you using?

They need to get AT LEAST 18 hours of usable light a day otherwise you might as well give up now.

They sound extrmely stretched, personally id kill them, read up on growing and try again.

DON'T kill them yet ... add some soil around the stem of the seedlings, to support the mainstem ... water away from the stem for awhile, to avoid stem-rot ... they are stretching because they want more light ... you need to either add stronger lights, or move them closer, or both ... :smokin:

You forgot to ask him for pics...

Pics please!

Hey, DrunkFisherman....

Timers are cheap. Home Depot sells a heavy duty one for... $6?

if turnin the lights on and off is a prob you would be better off to run them on a consistant 24 hr light cycle it's alot better than 5 hrs here 12 hrs there also a pic allways helps good luck
