Update/ better pics/ 7 weeks vegging non auto afghani KUSH

This is basically an update and better resource for some posts I made going to refer people here from other posts but if this is your first time following my grow your welcome to reply

this is 8 afghani kush non auto in 7th week vegg after several set back with stunted growth over watering and unproper lighting.

they are in a 4x6x8 grow room lighter by 4 40 watt CFl 2500k and one 100 watt grow bulb 3500k

the lights are approx 3 inches above the plants stretching is from prior unproper lighting.

they are on a mirical grow nute food regimen

they are in 1 gal buckets and may stay that was depending on growth, Mite switch to 3 gal

i am dong extended vegg for bigger yield

some plants seem to be showing symptoms of preflowering so some sex photos will also be lilisted

I have noticed leaves are curling slightly

they have a fan and room temp is about 80 degrees

1st pic looks like a male, despite being stunted they look good for the most part. The curling of the leaves is cause by heat stress, add another fan and raise the light a bit if you haven't already. Just let em be and you should be fine.

I believe then by you saying heat stress it could be largely due to the heat we have been experiencing outside, it heats my house up that I'm growing in as well, to the point of me sweating, if I used a dehumidifier for an hour or two would that help any since increasing the fan could cause serious bending issues that I don't need, fan is on medium setting now I can raise lights but due to that they are only cfls it could cause more stretching.

And they look like ball sacs from the pic but their actually really tiny leaves similar in shap to the first leaves that appear when plant surfaces soil as a seedling, unless that's how ball sacs start off, it's in hyper zoom mode these little leafs are barely visible with the naked eye.

yeah, pic one plant is growing balls. they are a nice green, look healthy, just obviously small for their age. more lumens = more growth. I keep a minimum of 300 watts per plant with cfl's, all very close and surrounding the plant. check out my recent lady on my journal. im my opinion, 260 true watts is not enough for 8 plants, EVER. You will get fluffy buds and stretch will be a problem since you do not have enough lights to surround the plants, therefore giving you stretchy plants. add more cfl's or invest in a HPS or Metal Halide system if you want more growth and eventually yield, just my two cents, peace!!

Thanks on the compliments I know my cannibis, keeping it healthy and alive is easy part the growing would be easy too if I had proper lighting but due to the fact I'm a poor ass it doesn't help when I need cweerrtian things for growing proerly, soon you will see a big jump in growth as of my posts on Sunday because I'm adding the Better t5 system. Veg should go nuts and in about two weeks after that getting all bloom bulbs and carbon filter, baby steps with the babies lol

take some risks bro .instead of buyin a bag go buy a 6 pk of cfls and adapters and add to ur grow cu ur not gona get nothing qith the setup u have .. you would be better off building a cardboard box and rig it up

Buying a bag?
my grow room is fine other than that I took down the glossy painted wallpaper I had up and never replaced it with Mylar or anything else reflective for that matter, and I am well aware of the horrible lack of light I have that's why I plan to get a t5 grow light, it comes with 4 veg lights and 4 bloom lights
I chose the t5 simply because I'm getting free in a trade for my Xbox that's old and no longer needing it. Other wise I would be stuck with what I have and as we stated it isn't ample.
Eventually I will go get everything needed but like I said baby steps
