Tiny Tiny Tiny......That thing is 5 weeks old??? Damn.
Cool. I have CFLs as of now. I'm going to look into MH bulbs.you can get 32000 lumen from bulbs as small as 250W... my 400W MH puts out 32000 lumen from about a foot away...with protective glass...
Yeah. I figured it wasn't doing too well. I have another plant thats 2 weeks old and only an inch or so smaller.Tiny Tiny Tiny......That thing is 5 weeks old??? Damn.
I've seen some for medium (regular) base lamps at the hardware store if you're trying to stay on the cheap...but you cant just go plugging it in..I believe it still needs a capacitor and a transformer...(which is basically a 'ballast' that would come with a bigger complete setup.. ie 400W 600W 1000W)Cool.

You should have 4-6 bulbs on that plant. She is stretching due to lack of light.Im a first time grower aswell and apart some issues i had on my plants with the soil not having the correct PH they are doing fine now,yours though are lot more burned out(turning yellow or lefs drooping).Mine is in 5th week veg,thinking of moving her to 12/12 end this week.Aswell might be the light, kinda same looking like issues u have aswell(droopy leafs, turning yellow on edges).I started with 1 cfl, now went for 2,im on 3840 lumens(might be tad lower as im using one static and one mobile cfl's).
Here is a pic on how mine looks like on 5 weeks(If u see the most bottom leaf near the soil, ull see that it looks like yours almost)
Wow, that was the most helpful answer Iv ever read... Caligreenszzz you really set the bar. As for the Question at hand; it does look like you are over watering as well as some nute burn. If you are using a soil that already had nutes in it bring them back to life by flushing with water, I did the same thing once and a good flush fixed them right up. Dont feed them anything untill they clear up and you start seeing clean green new growth, then start adding your nutes at half recomended dose... increase as they stay looking sharp. never exceed the dose for your Nutrients; it wont help.... Hope this helps! ANd Caligreenzzz.... your kinda a dick.looks like shit
this actually makes me feel much better.Looks better than this one:
Mama said....mama... mama said.....mama said that a rootbound biatch......Yeah man get that bitch in a new pot and give er at least a week and she will start growing for ya....Keep up on it. Dont give up. At least its alive which is a lot more than some people can say about their plants.....Ok. From the feedback, this bitch is doing bad, which I figured, just didn't know to what extent.
I knew I had to transplant, but the new home wasn't ready and I thought I could wait it out.
Well given how bad she's doing, I dont have anything to lose so I transplanted her into a bigger pot and threw her into the incomplete grow space.
Here is where I was coming from: (PC box was only supposed to be used for the first couple weeks. Ended up going longer.)

Hopefully I'll see some improvement. She is my first baby. I'm not tryna go out like a negligent parent.
