How should a plant look after one week, 2 weeks ect?

you might want to move your lights above the plants, the bottom of the leaves are very sensitive to light. side-lighting works great for older plants but i don't know about seedlings

I did they are above them now, ill have pics tomorrow, hey do the sell breakers that can go inline with a plug?

My old lady is worried about the house burning down by me leavin em on over night. so they have been getting like17/7 or 18/6

New Pics

Hows my setup so far, i got 2 more bulbs i can hang, just waiting on cords and sockets. its getting to be a mess so after the grow a bit more im gonna rewire it neatly lol.

Its about 7 or 8 days since they came out of the soil on the big ones and like 2-3 on the little ones. The little ones have some thick ass stems lol

Yeahhh dude, they look MUCH more comfortable in their new home, you should notice over the next few days that your nodes will start getting closer together. It really doesn't matter if some of your stems are long and lanky either, it shouldn't affect your plant any. It will make it easier to tie down if you decide to go with that method.

ten days



12 days


15 days



17 days





20 days

To put things into perspective, I've had this one hovering an inch below a 26w CFL for a week and a half and this is where it's at, it's a medical seed, watered generously once a day and 24h lights.

Only one 26 watt bulb will barely keep it alive, but it will not flourish or thrive and grow.

There is ample light, sufficient light and insufficient light.

You really need to read this on How Much Light:

CFL Tutorial -

It's getting over 10 000 lumens in my box :/ is that not enough?


I agree my plant looked haggard at first because I just had it sitting in a window until I found this site. I now have my own grow box seen above and this is what my canopy now looks like after 2 days in it's new environment.


Keep in mind this is the SAME plant you just commented on above.

I thought your post said ONE 26 watt bulb, sorry, my mistake.

10,000 lumens is what the sun provides per square foot and is excellent.

heres my two week plants both are about 2 1/2 inches tall

Ok, i got some new pics brahs, we have em set up in a fish tank lined with aluminum foil, i just dont have a top on it yet. The lights are about 3-4 inches above the plants now, cant do much about it they should still get plenty of light, they are gettin 11000 odd lumens.

One of is my dog with socks on...for teh lulz

Looks like a pretty awesome veg box to me dude! Probably gonna have to do some rearranging when you flower, if you want them to get big that is.

Yeah, is there any danger in leavin em on 24 hours with extension cords, i dont wanna get hermies..... and i cant get a timer yet.

Don't know what a two week old plant is "supposed" to look like, but here are mine at around 2 weeks.

Here are mine after bout 2 weeks, maybe a lil over that, Im guessing it depends most on the strain that u have!
