Hey everyone, and thanks for all the great posts on here, they've been a real help for a first timer...Ok, I'll give you all the info I have cause I know you guys like a lot of info...I had a bag of great headies, maybe best I've ever had, and it had three seeds...so I planted them outside..well, they all sprouted...so I brought them inside, got a MH bulb, 50 watts, since there's only 3 of them...they are about week 4 or so and they are about 6-7" but fairly bushy and on 6th stem set....the bottom of the stem is smaller than the top as you can see, and the original little leaves they sprout in are just starting to die...I know that's normal, but does that signal that the stem is starting to get thicker at the bottom....I have Dynamite slow release formula in there thats 19-6-8 with all minors and did 1/3rd dose of blood meal for extra nitrogen this week for the first time...they seem healthy to me....light is 6 inches away, well ventilated,water after only dry a few inches down, walls are white.....what do you guys think and how long yet should I let them grow until I go to 12/12...I'm adding an HPS light on tuesday....any opinions help, thanks so much!!! You guys rock!!

Those are going to be twiggy unless you get more lights. 1 50 watt MH isn't going to cut it. The HPS will be good for flowering. Its okay for vegging but you would be better off supplementing the HPS with some 6500k CFL's. If you have plenty of time and are in no real rush, veg until they show pre-flower's. Usually takes a month to a month and a half for pre-flower's to show.

For comparison here is one of my two white widows at about 4 weeks old. It has roughly 7 nodes in the span of 8 inches.

thanks for the posts guys....please everyone reply..all posts are very much appreciated....

yup and it's the wrong spectrum, 6500 K CFLs would give you better growth. http://www.rollitup.org/attachments/...hortgraph2.gif

Nice graph frmrboi. Depending on what kind of MH bulb he has I wouldn't write it off as completely useless.

no I wouldn't either but damn close. There's no way that bulb will be anything but a standard MH or 4000 K.

so the light that I have is almost useless?? I read on a bunch of places including here that MH is high in the blue eynd of the spectrum and that it's best for vegetative growth....I wish I wouldn't have had the wrong information the MH is more expensive than the CFL's.....how many CFL's would you recommend for three plants if I'm adding an HPS on tuesday

Is there any information printed on the MH bulb?
