Update on my grow.

[UnitedParcelSecrets]

Well the wilting seems to be slowly fading off. The color seems a little off, but I think it's just the way the light hits it. I haven't watered today or yesterday, and I don't intend to until the plant needs it. Here's a picture from the front and one from the back for today:

also you have to much intense light for that little thing, also there way to close.

Your wilting is do to the lights being to close to the plant. They do sell indoor plant lights at Home depot 120watt that put off less heat and can be 5 to 12 inches away from the plant. I get great success with 6 of those lights on a 3 ft bar that I can move up and down as the plants grow. It also allows me to go 23 hours of light on for the first 4 to 5 weeks and then 4 to 6 week of 12on 12 off.

Well, I'm still having issues with that odd wilting thing ... though it seems to be healthy anyway. I cut down my watering quite a bit, and stabilized my lighting schedule. It seems to be working, there's new growth and everything. I think it's a pretty little one. I do hope for a little girl, but even a boy I'd be happy with. Just because I've finally succeeded in getting past a seedling.

It could be due to the lights being to close but i doubt it i have had more cfls then that and had no wilting, also those lights produce very little heat. and even if it was getting to hot they would burn or curl up not wilt and look all droopy. droop= over watering problem its a common mistake.

No offence boybuffalo, but I'm more inclined to believe sandman.

best thing UPS is pick up your pots when very dry and feel the weight of them and water them and do it again and you will know when its water time my pot get very light when dry and very heavy when watered so far this has worked for me give it a shot for a week or so

[chisme]

at this early point id say your better off just having the one bulb hanging directly above it a little bit closer....then in say a week start adding more bulbs right now theye would be bit too far away for me to like because u have like 3 you cant get them as close...so yeah id go with just one bulb for now.

any updates yet?

His lights aren't too close...CFLs can really be close to the plants, like 1.5 to 2 inches away. You have to remember the heat output on those bulbs is minimal. You can touch the thing after it's been on for 24 hours and it's still not really hot.

not talking about heat but can a plant get to much light?
