Let There Be Light!!

Oh boy, oh boy..

Ok so this my first grow... day nine.. being that my budget is tight, I was forced to take shortcuts..

From germanization to now I had my seedlings under a regular household cfl... and oh boy do I see issues already... like the seedlings are skinny... stretching for light... in danger of falling over...

Also, Im starting to notice brown spots on the leaves ... so I scrapped up enough change to buy a Hydrofarm cfl.. 125w.. came with reflector...

I transferred the surviving seedlings into larger dwellings, buried most of the stems, and also applied that fox farm big bloom.. I have a fan on 18hrs, and crossed my fingers...

Is there anything else you guys suggest??

thanks on advance and happy growing!

Don't feed em for awhile,
. Babies burn easily.

i think you can buy some led grow light, it is popular.

house hold one would be rubbish but with enough wind it will be ok to put it really close and would be ok to make enough for your next grow ...... never feed babies the soil should have enough in it for them itself for the first 3-4 weeks

Now that you have a decent fluro things will improve.

thanks, I hope so!

I know.. I seen some pretty sick ones, but my local hydro store doesnt have them..

the brown spots seem to be going away on one... aswell as the stem is getting a purple-ish tint...

the other one may have to go unfortunately...
