There is nothing wrong with using florescent light when they are baby's, i only use those light for the first 2 weeks from the seed cracking. The light is a lot gentler on the baby's and gives time for the root's to establish them selves. You want 6500k day light tubes or clf's.

Hey all just a quick update first off Happy Thanksgiving...

Iam getting a set of leaves every 24 hours plus the start of another set...must be doing something right!

still getting pairs though once they start to stagger I heard to go into two weeks of total darkness then on to a 12/12...
Is this correct? Heres the latest pics ...so happy everything looks healthy

I even closed the distance of the plant and light...btw I only have a 400watt hps and a red flowering floro...what is the max height I want so I can ensure that the light will completley penetrate the whole plant? ...I'm figuring like 4-4 1/2 ft a 5 or 6 footer wouldn't absorb enough or would it?
All comments welcome and please help me and my plant be the best we can be!

Power to the people of the plant!

Heres a update...plus a couple questions...1)ph strips where can I buy them quickly?I need to test the soil and water...I don't care if its strips as long as it helps !
@)are all bugs bad ? cuz there are little fast somethings.... running in my soil never see more then one...tiny &not on the plant that I've seen.
3) when this plant gets tall enough I am thinking about topping it and growing dwc or something other then soil ..I do NOT want bugs and if soil means bugs or chemicals and no bugs then I want to grow in rock!
What do you think? How does my plant look ? What are these growths between the nodes or whatever....like little leafs..... look closely...Advice and comments welcome

Looking good bro...kind'a big pot for such a little plant "some may say"...but, it will do the job...just be careful not to overwater and things are goin to be good for you in soil. If the bugs you are seeing are black fungus nats, this is your first sign that you "maybe" overwatering. The fungus nat itself is the adult of the larva, or maggets. The petemoss usually carries these pest I've been told. The larva, when badly infested, can kill plants by eating at the roots.The larva will 80% die if you let your plant dry until the leaves wilt a little. You can use a few drops of Ivory or any biodegradable dish liquid to "help" keep the fungus nats and the larva under control. Get sticky strips, hang them around the room just above the plant...problem solved. If you figure your watering to just before the plants wilt, the nats will be no problem. Good luck!
