Look pretty stretchy. How close is your light? What kind of soil/medium? Nutes?
Move the light closer
move the light closer-hold your hand just above plants and lower it untell your hand feels warm NOT hot, adding a ossolating fan from the start will give you stronger stems, dont ever feed a seedling untell its around a month old-or showing nute deficiency, if you dont PH your water buy a tester and ph up and down. good luck
im using all purpose compost which is for vigorous growth and strong root development. is a fan essential? i have a 150w halogen light will it burn my plants if i move it closer
Put more soil in those pots to bury some of that stem and put your light closer or your plants will fall over from lack of stem strength.
I do not want to discuss growing marijuana with any grow gurus.I want to talk to people who, like me, know there are many different ways to grow great meds.
maybe your wanna get something with a little bit less N cause they seems strechy or get the light closer and if you wanna keep all 6 of em you will be needing at least 300w using the basic 100w + 50w per additionnal plant, this is not a stable fact it's just something you should think about if you looking into your yeild you will get more keeping only 2-3 than keeping 6 of them and trust me ... you don't wanna take care of 6 of them, with only 1 i do get alot of work to do on it because problems always occure. i have 8x23w cfl and keep them 4-5" above peopel say 2" but hey when you got 8 connected together they do pull somemore heat and since I listened to those guys my plants got fiew burns so put it closer but dont go 1-2" better getting little more stretch and no burn in my opinion, tell me what you think
thanks for the advice. with these conditions will they not flower?
I hate to be the bearer of bad new but a halogen light does not have anything to benefit your plants meaning if you dont get at least a CFL light all your plants will die. A halogen light will fry your plants when you get the light close enough to use its very small amount of uv rays. Plants do not grow from heat alone. I know this because all you have to do is Google halogen light grow. I also started my very first indoor grow with a halogen set up and the plants died.
You can pick frinds. You can pick ur nose. You cant pick a friends nose.

***edit*** FAN IS A MUST !!!! these baby's will stink and get heated you don't want hair to be stabilized ... you want constant air circulation, not trying to be an ass but if you can't supply your plants the minimum they need they will die ... and this will be a waste of time on your side, so grab a fan even if its just a computer fan, point your fan towards your plants, the plant will react by producing stronger stems to resist in the new environement, and this might help your little too muched stretched plant to not fall over on its self ....
second edit *** yeah Halogene is whatever ... i suggest you grab coldwhite CFL 6500k for veg a pack of 4 is arround 20$ where i live 4x23w : Look at the real wattage when buying cfl's not the equivilence this don't mean sh!t
and yes your plant will die under halogene these are house lights and don't produce anything for plants ... only making you able to see it when it's dark ...
FOR flowering grab ether 2x75w HPS at any hardware store or a 150w setup online or you can stick with cfl's has i did for mine ... i bought the softwhite 2700k for flowering and you should be good you have t supply 10 000 lumens per square foot in flowering and 2500 lumens per square foot durign veg keep that in mind these are the really minimum requirements for growing weed indoors, it's a bit more complicated but once you got the knowledge everything goes right afterwards goodluck :P
