help please!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrburns2001]

Just need to know if they are looking ok. I have two plants both are about four weeks old. For the first 3 weeks they were grown on a window sil which im guessing is the reason why they look stretched. I have been out and bought some proper lights and for the past week they have been under them 24/7. Do they look healthy and is there anything i should be doing. Debating on wether i should put them them in bigger pots now or leave it a bit longer. Any help would be appreciated

They look good to me. I think you should probably re-pot them, but I'm not a soil-expert. I would re-pot them, tho. Otherwise, they dont look burnt or anything. Ohh and when you re-pot them, bury them up to the first pair of serated leaves. Get rid of a lot of that stretching...and the plant can grow roots out of that part of the stem!

Cool.

was worried that cos i started with just natural light the stretching was too stresful for the plants. Also worried they might be males cos of how tall and skinny they are. When would i be able to tell?

[bejay]

would repot and bury them deeper also and might put a circulating fan on them to help strengthen the stems and keep your lights close as you can.

[mrburns2001]

got a fan on them and they about 1 inch away from the lights. Temp is a steady 26-28 degress c. Fingers crossed. Will replant them tomorrow as soon as i get some bigger pots. What sort of size pot should i get?

They are looking good man keep us updated :thumbsup:

[doco]

how often are you watering them?

[mrburns2001]

Watering them every 5-7 days with bottled water will repot them today hopefully.

switch to floro's. you can put the light right on top of em and stop that stretch immediately!

ge makes a flo called daylight (6500k, 40w t12, 3050 lumens ea) these bulbs are awesome! my plants are 30 days today and 10 times the size of yours, and an indica strain at that.

Yea, I guess I forgot to ask what "proper lights" were that you mentioned.

Definitely get some type of HID light, whether it be a Metal Halide (best) or a High Pressure Sodium (2nd best) or Compact flouros (3rd best) or some CRAP light (do not do this)...or of course grow them outside but with direct prolonged sunlight. (real best)

Did you re-pot them yet? What size did you end up getting ? 8"...?
