ok i just started growing 2 days ago. i put 8 seeds in a 14" pot and plan to transplant them to 4 large pots when its time. everything is cool except lighting. i have a 23w cf and 2 13w cf lights. is that good enough. oh, and i have a halogen light that gets soo hot (kinda scared to use it.). Am i good, or do i need to change somthing? please help

Dont use Halogen and try not to have two seeds per pot it will cause problems later on particularly when separating the plants. Although it is doable. If you insist on having two plants in one pot then pot them straight into a large pot to begin with as transplanting them may be difficult.

Those lights arent perfect and most people on here will say you need more. However if you check my grow out theyve been on something very similar to your lights. But they wont do for flowering you will need to fork out when you plan to flower.

yeah after about 3 days, i switched the halogen with daylight cf lights. the pot is a 5 gallon i think? i have the lights hanging about 3-5 inches above the plant at all times. 15-9 lighting. do you see anything wrong with that? its my first time, so i could use all the help i can get. thanks dude.

Well 15/9 is getting a bit close to their light cycle for flowering you may want to change the light cycle to 18/6 or even 24 on. It will speed up their growth as well Yeah the light set up seems fine and so does the distance keep it up!

thanks brother. do i keep the same light cycle for the entire growth or do i change it? i just installed one of those 10 year old 2' x 2' fans in my closet and i leave it on overnight. is that right? i never really saw the importance of a fan.
thanks

yea thts rite n ull c da importance wen ur grow room makes ur own room hot well for my case the fans r to keep the cool and to not let our plants stress out n about da light cycles use 18/6 for vegging and use 12/12 for flowering

they are 15 days old now, do they usually begin flowering in bout a week?

Have you got an autoflowering strain? If not they wont start flowering until you swap their light schedule to 12/12. Fans are important for three main reasons. They reduce heat so and can control climate. They help the plants produce thick sturdy stems. They help circulate and introduce more co2. And yeah you can leave it on over night. Have them on for as long as your light are on at least.

If you dont have an autoflowering strain then dont change the light cycle to 12/12 until they are at least 12 inches tall. Or begin to show preflowers or produce alternate nodes. This is all explained much better in the grow FAQ, top left side of the page.

cool cool. they wont get damaged if they sway some bit will they? i got 2 new 27w cfl's (daylight bright). in the past 6 hours, ive seen great amounts of growth on my babe that had the 18 watter. thanks brother for the help

I just started growing also. I'm using 2 26 watt 6500k cfls and one 42 watt 2700k cfl. Mine seem to be growing quite well. I have them on 24/0. Plan on getting a hps 400 watt light for flowering. Happy Growing.
