they are really tall. the first 2 days i was putting them by my window sill but now i am putting them under cfls. the two larger pots i know dont look the best the right one was the one that sprouted the fastest.
any input on what i can do to make it better
right now i only have one cfl so i have been thinking about keeping one plant just to start. which one do you think would work the best?
any input in general wouldbe nice

what kind of seeds are you growing if they're not feminised seeds then I would keep both plants because odds are one of them is male.

it is bag seed, so ya most likely one is a male.
i will try doing both the only thing is i cant get ahold of another desk lamp or the money to buy one. i know with cfls they should at least have one light 1" from the plant. i have no idea what to do when they get bigger.

p.s. isn't it wierd the small one by itself it is actually missing one of the main leaves and the leaf itself has branched out very strong in one day, as if it took the place for that other leaf. it has a strong will :]

more light the better im afraid or you will get very little return,if your hand doesnt feel to hot then the distance is ok.best of luck.

don't have to only use desk lamps as the socket if u don't want too.... At home improvement stores and even walmart sell regular wall socket adaptors, where u can plug it into a regular wall socket and have a bulb outlet... Also y adaptors to split one outlet to 2...if u want, mount a surge protector and then get however many of those adaptors on em, there u go, those sockets dont cost much, like 2 dollers or somethin

well i am going to think about the sockets
but i got a splitter and a 43w actual light connected.
only one plant is really alive. and i think i burned the tip of the leaf with it because its yellow, but just incase i am going to have to buy some insect killer.
