apparently i just found out i was using a 2700 this whole time. how does a 2700 compare to a 6500 during vegetation?
It will be fine. There are people that veg and flower with hps or mh.

The 6500 will cause shorter internode spacing. The 2700 will let it stretch a bit.

It will be OK. Just add some 6500.

You can get 23w cfl at Walmart. They have 4 packs for $8.88. They come in 5000 or 2700 kelvin. A mix of those work just fine.

Any harware store will have light sockets an splitters.

Day 44. Day 20 Flowering.
Added the extra 130W CFL bulb, and can already see signs of bushiness and faster growth.
Only problem is temp reaches 28c - 31c, and humidly goes down to a 35% pretty fast.View attachment 3667793 Next grow project. Im abit of a creative freak.

Your issues look emergency level. You need somthing quick acting. Get $5 miracle grow all purpose 24-8-16 food. Dilute is by half and feed. If you have the money buy some cal-mag and add some too.

thankgod. plant is still kickin.

i went ahead and used some more soil, instead i used another pot just for that soil. i flushed the crap out that and stole all of its nutrients. im now using those nutrients for my plant.

no more crispy leaves at the bottom. now im just hoping the leaves turn green again in a couple of days.

Day 59 from seedling.
there was hardly nothing there 2 days ago.
leaves are much more healthier, not so much the colours, but the texture of the leaves yes. (more bumpy)P_20160513_212218.jpg P_20160513_212131.jpg P_20160513_212302.jpg P_20160513_212157.jpg
