I have now had a second plant dry up and begin to die!!! There were no instructions on how far away to keep the light so I have been doing some reading up and have it placed about 20 inches from the top of the plants. They seem to need MUCH more water than before so I water them once every other...

Between my wife and I we smoke on average a half a week. But on the week ends when I do not have to work, we can smoke a half in 2 days. Not so much any more as we have 2 kids in collage and a 4 year old now which is why we started to grow. I have a white collar job and no longer get pissed so...

Ok, I set up the new light 3 days ago and placed the plants on the floor on top of a small wood pallet. The first night it burned and dried the largest plant which was about 12" tall. I removed it and am going to try to nurse it back with cfl's with as little heat as possible. I raised the light...

BTW statik I just replanted with Miracle Grow 2 weeks ago. It's the kind that has up to 3 months of feed already in it as well as small water retaining pellets. Have'nt received the light yet but I am completely stoked about it and can't wait to fire that puppy up.

Thanke everyone, I appreciate the comments and help. I will re-do the room when I place the bulb in there and take a new pic.

I am ready to purchase a light for my grow closet and was hoping to get some educated answers as to what is best to purchase. I have read through the Grow FAQ and through MANY posts here and have a current thread showing the 3 stages of my so far laughable setup. I have about $200.00 dollars to...

The edges of the leaves are beginning to change color from green to yellow. I'm not sure what to do.

The top of soil is dry to the touch when I water them which seems to be about every 2 or 3 days. SHould I water them less? Thanks Billybob for the quick reply

Here are a few pics of what they look like as of an hour ago. Do you think they look any better? Would I be better off removing a few plants to allow the others to absorb more light? Forgive my ignorance if that was a stupid question. Also I have included a pic of one that looks a little light...

On the evening of the 31st when I put in the new lights a friend gave me a mylar body blanket out of a first aid kit and I placed it on the interior walls and now the plants are producing LOTS of leaves at the top of each plant. I will load I picture of the tops when my daughter brings my camera...

I began the grow on Dec 15th so they are 45 days old. I really appreciate the Maguiver comment as my father used to say "Give me some fishing line a paper clip some duct tape a hammer and a circus midget and I can fix just about anything" so I guess I learned from him. Kind of embarrassing...

What can I say, I was 10 and not only was it my 1st time getting high and the 1st sexual experience (neither voluntarily) so I didn't know what to do. Again I will say that I do not remember any of it, I have no memory of most of that year I did go to some therapy as a child but I don't think...

My 1st experience with weed was when I was 10 and my older brother and sister were having a party and I told them that I was going to tell my parents about it. They got angry held me down and shotgunned me until I was really F'd up. One of my sisters girlfriends saw that I was really scared and...
