But i cant keep them under that one puny cfl for that long can i?

Plus i dont have any nuts for them and sadly, yes, i am that broke

Alienwidow · Apr 2, 2015

No, you cant. But, cfls are cheap, and even a desk lamp holds them.

And would they be ok in a solo cup for the duration of the time?

Three weeks is pushing it. I already told you that you can use whatever for a pot. 2L pepsi bottle for example. A plastic gallon bag with holes in it. The inflated scrotum of a caribou. Anything. Stop worrying about pots. As for the lights. In about a week id have two per plant and in three weeks id have three little ones per plant. Other options are see if you have any floro tubes around the house or in a garage. The more you can find the better and dont forget for a couple bucks you can buy Y splitters that will let you put two lights in one socket.

What do u mean? Theyre in MG seed starter which wont last them very long

Alienwidow · Apr 2, 2015

Didnt notice you had 15. Your best bet is to find long floro tubes, like a six bulb or a four at least, two wont cut it. Check craigs list, used t8 8 bulb lights usually are around thirty bucks. Your soil should just chang when your container does. Two weeks. Read up on sexing plants. Theres a couple ways but your limited in funds so id just wait until they have three sets of leaves and flower them. Sexes show at about ten days and then you reveg at 24 hrs of light and keep the best looking females.

Oh shit, seed starter is pretty bland. Ya, a weekish. Miracle grow plant food is like seven bucks, add a little of something. Growing takes money, lots, you get bugs and your going to be screwed.

Well u see, thats y they gotta go haha i simply dont even have $30. I can get four 24w 6500k cfls and y splitters but otherwise im kinda screwed unless u think the four cfls r worth a shot

420grower.cali · Apr 2, 2015

Idk im a newbie but i feel like four in such a small space would give them quite a bit of light

Alienwidow · Apr 2, 2015

Just sexing a plant will make it grow from four inches to probably one and a half feet tall. Cfls need to be within three inches of the leaves to work well. Especially the small ones. Yes i think your in some big trouble. Find a partner who wants in and has money for a last resort, otherwise your in big trouble and wasting your time.

Oh and do u know any sttains that dont really start to smell? Just incase i cant get a carbon scrubber? Becuz like u said the most important part is the light and im getting A 400watt hps when i get money and im putting it in a grow tent and ill have money for soil and nutes and shit but the carbon scrubber may be pushin my budget a little

TheHermit · Apr 2, 2015

I keep 15-20 seedlings/freshly rooted clones under 8 24w cfls. I usually keep them in 1 liter pots for about three weeks or so no problem. Even longer sometimes if I am pressed for room in my main veg chamber. I think you will be fine. I am flowering a 3 foot tall male plant right now under a single 40w cfl right now. It is kind of stretchy, and a lot of the fan leaves have died, but it is giving me plenty of pollen.

your urine is great fertiliser if you are really desperate, just eat healthily and supplement your diet with bananas for added potassium.

Im not gonna be having any money for about three weeks though haha and once i get that i got a setup planned out for about $303.55 not including nutrients but thatll cover a grow tent, a carbon scrubber inline fan combo, 400w hps light setup, 10 northern lights seeds, and fox farm ocean forest soil and like u said with that i wont need nutrients for a while so ill get money before i need that

Did you search for used lighting on craigslist yet?

Depending on where you live you can get almost everything used you need for really cheap
