when you water, you want to completely wet the soil so there is a good bit of runoff.

You might want to consider investing in some T-5 lighting at least, not to say T-5 is the best or anything but it's still a large step up from hardware store CFLs IMO. my T-5's made a big difference in my closet grow (6 LR#2's) and I was using a 65w CFL before that in the same space for one plant.

In the most recent pics you posted the plants look to be streaching considerably. Looked like mine when I was growing with CFL's. Also the "grow lights" you mentioned, are they circle bulbs like other normal household bulbs with a filament inside? Because I've seen the ones your talking about and I've never seen them in a florescent version, only incandescent which is bad, bad, bad.

Watering can be tricky at first (it was for me) so don't worry if it takes a wile to figure that out. what I did is buy a moisture meter to be sure, for like $10 it's worth it, and use that inconjuction with tipping the pots to check their water weight. eventually you'll be able to know when they need water by simply tilting them a bit. Also make sure you give the soil some time to dry out between waterings this helps keep O2 in the soil and builds a strong root system by allowing the roots to search for wetter soil deeper in the pot.

Could you give us a more complete breakdown of the size of the space, number of plants and excact lighting setup your using?

Good luck!

hey there vegan thx for the advice! Well im growing in my basement.. its cool down there but not too cold. I have a platform thats meant for a dryer that is where i have them sitting.. i then enclosed this with 3 pieces of left over board from an old lizard cage. 2 sides are white and 1 is foil. I then have 2 30 w. cfls. and 2 fluorcent grow lights. and i was pretty sure they were flurocent but i double checked the package yesterday and it is 24 watt flurocent grow tube.

well i went away for the weekend and came back and boy have they grown its amazing after looking at them a few times a day then not seeing them for 3. I will be taking more pics tomorrow so you can see the progress and let me know what yall think.. still looking forward to all replys and advice. gonna get some more lights soon and hope these bad (girls) lol are healthy. oh and they are starting to smell a lil hope thats a good sign

Im new, and I honestly dont mean to hijack this thread, but didnt know if I should make a new one.

Im 100% new to this gardening mess, only witnessed the tree grow to close to flowering before police took it...

What do people mean by flowering though? How is it done?

read the grow faq, top left...

Nice grow girl, hope all goes well. Is that an outside grow or are you just taking pictures outside. They look pretty good for the amount of time. But yeah u wanna make sure you moist that soil all the way through, because you can only imagine the root growth of these plants.


Good luck growing and stay token
