That's really not enough info to tell. ie, are you growing in dirt? The plants will grow slower in dirt. How's your lighting? Plants grow slower in poor light. How's your nutes. Plants grow slower without the proper chemicals. What are your temps? Plants grow slower in colder temps and rot in hot ones. What variety are you growing. Some grow taller than others.

As an example to compare, I am growing AK-47 in hydro and use cool tubes so I can get the lights right in the plants. My plants are about 2 feet tall at 30 days, some a little bigger. However I am not counting the time they spent getting roots in the cloner. If I am supposed to count that, then make it about 40 days, or 18 inches at 30 days.

Variables, man. Too many.

gah..well, I'm not certain what kind they are..I just have a, what I like to call 'shit box' full of stems and seeds...pulled out some seeds from there, and just..planted them in a deep pot, yeah I'm using top soil of some sort. The lighting, well..I'm pretty positive that isn't so great. You see, I kind of just threw myself into this. Never grown before, so I was just sort of experimenting with these. At about a month old, they're 13, 11, and 9 inches high. the lighting got from home depot, its a 'infrared heat lamp' 250w...that good, or bad? and chemicals? where can I get these? I just want to make sure they make it to actually getting some buds..but then again, I AM just experimenting with these. ^.^; thanks for the info btw

Hi Hippie

that light does not sound RIGHT.. it actually sounds BAD..

you can get CFL's for 5-10 dollars a piece.. get the 150 watt cfls.. they sell them at home depot...

you will be glad you did!!

Any light will veg., MH is best but requires ventilation.
For flower, in my opinion and that of most others, there is but one choice: HPS.
Fluoros work if you use a shitload of them, but for the same price as a shitload you can have HID lights.

For newbies:
HID: High Intensity Discharge
MH: Metal Halide
HPS: High Pressure Sodium (dont get water on it when it's hot)

how I'll get the money for this, I don't know

Here's what I did:

Get married to a woman with a good job. You get a good job. Have her do all the finances. You bring home the check. Tell her you are starting a weed growing venture. Buy whatever you need on Discover card so you get 1% back.
