They're even splitting off, this early.

...My older brother walked in and saw the sprout (yes, it's only been 4 days since this thing started growing, so it's a sprout) and said:

"Holy shit dude. I've NEVER seen a sprout look that mature, at only 4 fucking days of growth! It's tall as a motherfucker, and the leaves are already getting pretty big. Whatever you're doing dude, you're doing it right!"

Well the secret is, i'm sort of a 1st time grower. And am growing because i'm a certified card-holding MMJ patient. So obviously, simply a CFL will do the trick. But since mine is relatively strong (at 150 watts), and i'm using a heat lamp, i've got to keep the light further away from the plant so it doesn't burn up. So right now, it's about 11 inches away from the plant, and doing fine. Growing and everything (obviously).

I already need to add some sort of support to it, because it's growing so rapidly. I might need to break out the toothpicks and string, sooner or later. Then put more wind on it, so the stem will thicken up. =P
Thanks alot! Since my first post in this thread, I have moved the plantpot to a very warm cupboard, since then the little seedlings have split and seperated, and have turned a pale green! Thats within 2 hours. I will post pic's tomorrow morning
pspmachine Reviewed by pspmachine on . Light's Hi, I was just wondering, what is your opinion on lights - would you say they are 100% neccessary or can plants grow without them? Regards pspmachine Rating: 5
