well first off... thank you covertgrow, i appreciate the input.

so this morning i noticed that both of my seeds sprouted (as well as the other that sprouted 5 days ago) I lost 2 seeds between germination, and sprouting. the seedlings are both barely through the soil. i have turned off my HPS and am only using, 4 26W cfls, 2 each of 6500K, and 2700K. I will turn the HPS back on in about a week.(remember this is autoflowering LR2, so there is not really a vegitative stage). so the lower Kelvin light spectrum should work well.

questions...
are these 4 26W CFL lights enough to sustain these three seedlings for 1-2 weeks? or should i use my HPS as well... it is only 150Watts

what should i feed them to increase young growth, and root development??? (im trying to be 100%organic)

here are some pictures of the girls, the two small ones are only a couple days old, the big one is about 6 days.

This morning i found both of my seedlings, the two younger ones that is, fallen over... They are not dead. But they are not growing fast at all and they were leanin over in to the dirt I propped them up with some pieces of zip tie, and i placed the so that they were leaning away from the light to try and get them to bend back up, so far it has been unsuccesful but they look a little bit better, my other plant that is about a week old is doing well. ill post pics next time, too Hugh now.

I had the same problem with some BB autos I'm growing, I cut a slit in a thin drinking straw and put that arount the bottom of the stem, that seems to of worked.

Nice set up. Sorry to hear about the falling over of the plants. Maybe the lighting isn't enough. I wouldn't worry about bringing the hps just yet. Just another cfl or 2 will do. And if the ones you have in there are full spectrum high Kelvin bulbs, maybe just make the next one you put in a low spectrum bulb.

I'm doing a lr2 grow as well, only in a hydro dwc-bubbler system and have run into similar struggles. The one that I have going right now hasn't really grown as fast as I anticipated either (3 weeks old now). Sadly, this is the only one that I was able to get to sprout out of the 4 that I have gotten to germinate so far. And it sucks! With you getting the fem-5 pack, you can't afford to have too many germinated seeds not sprout up so I feel your pain bro. Given the price of these seeds, I'm ordered the 10-pack unfem seeds so that I can hopefully breed and got alot more seeds. Heard people get somewhere in the neighborhood of around 300 seeds from pollinating just one female.

In any event, best of luck with your grow. Looks great so far and between the 2 of us, it sounds like this strain may have some difficulties in the early going and hopefully gets alot easier as the grow goes on. I'm subscribed.

thanks butters... any YEAH your right about me not being able to afford losing any more. those bitches were expensive. THE WORST part is that it has gotten worse. well they did for a while atleast... i think they are starting to perk up a little now. i did a couple things to them...
- the first thing i did was support them witha twist tie (like off of a bag of bread) just made a hook out of it and bent the non hook end over the outside of the pot.
-another thing i started doing was watering more, i think they liked that.
-i added a small amount of fish emulsion to the water. so they get some N, and some trace elemsnts.
-I also dug some soil out from around the stem, and replaced it with some peet moss from a peet pellet. hopefully the roots will think this is better that the shitty soil i have.
heres some pics the first ones are from before this post..... i will post again with the after pictures of what they look like now.

here are the pictures from after i added the peet, and now some Vitamin B-1. they havent changed in like 3 days. i hope they are just healing themselves, from a little heat damage and will soon resume growing. they are not dead...

So its been a while due to some major difficulties resulting in the loss of ALL but one of my LR2's. But whatever. now im just gonna focus on this one remaining LR2. hopefully i can get on OZ. anyway i think it is doing pretty good... I have her under my 150W HPS, and 3 26W CFL's... she has already shown sex. I leave the cfl's on all night and run the Hps all day long with them. The hps puts out 16000 lumens so shes getting a lot of light so as you can expect she is staying short but starting to get very bushy and man is she growing fast now that i put her in GOOD soil. here are some pictures.

in one of these pictures the temp looks like 93... it is actually 83...you can kind of see the other line.

wow, you got sex already. Lucky. I am doing four lr2 in three gallon all organic soil.

I am at around day 40 and barely sexed. Not only that they have refused to bud. In fact one still has no sex. I have put them into a 24 hour dark, well one of them.

I attribute this to too much N and feeding at all while they were in veg in fact. I might have to flush. Mine are huge.

So i can ask you go easy on the feeding and you know if you moce to a bigger pot you night get a bigger yeild.
