Hi!

i am growing my first plant indoors. I'm using 4x CFL(actual 20w) and nutrient what I bought from netherlands.
I have a fan circulating some air and its warm enough too. BUT my plant looks really wierd..
Could someone smarter give me some advice what I should do? :)

Thanks in advance. Peace bongsmilie
 
She is stretching quite a bit. You can moe the lights alot closer with cfl. About 2" away and you'll be ok. Also, you need to have some perlite in the medium. It helps darinage as well as moisture retention. What is that medium anyway? cocoa?

The best suggestion I always offer newbies is too read and study the stickies and other posts on this forum. You will learn everything you need to know and more.
 
Just my .02c I would take that foil off the edge of your pot. It really isnt going to be doing much if anything beneficial to the plants.

I'm thinking it's the dirt looks real black and rich.
It maybe okay for an older plant but not 4 seedlings.
Or may not be good to use 4 weed plant at all~
 
So, I whould replant it to another dirt?
I bought it with highest ph level, still was low for weed but best i could get at this time..
Seed is bought from Amsterdam Sensi seeds shop and its 100% feminized. It grew about a week like it is supposed to but then the growth stopped.
The lights are about 2-3" from plant.
I dont understand why leaves are streching up?
 
Kinda looks like the plant is locked out but it is kinda hard to see. Not 100% sure, but if you change your soil it might help. Or it might stress it to its final moments if you catch what I mean.

with that foil there, its under laser attack. group your little guys together, and put them under 150 watt eq. or so, right up on them. measure your temp right where their tops are. i like 76-80F. "highest ph level".......and what might that be? 6.4-6.7 is what i shoot for in soil. make sure they get air; a breeze. let us know the outcome.

What you mean by locked out?


PH level is about 5,5-6,5..Temp is about 76-80F.

Im using 2700K CFL lights. 4 x 20w actual, equal to 400w.
 
View attachment 1948782 This is a explanation of nutrients availible, under amounts of ph. If a soil is to acidic or alkaline certain nutrients wont be availible. Hence the turm lockout, because the ph is fluctuated to where the plant cannot absorb the nutrients that are availible so dont go and fertilize it, cause they are their just not availible . But see with a ph of 4.5, pretty much every nutrient is locked out and not availible to the plant. Hope this helps some.

So i understand, that I should replant it to soil that has bigger pH level?
 
I would look for a potting soil that is more neutral around a ph of 7.0 most potting soils are pretty nuetral except for accidic soils for cactuses, or orchids. But even some Miracle grow would probably be better than that soil your using now. I actually did a pretty good summer grow last year with miracle grow organics and perlite. Hope that helps man, happy smokin and growin.

don't worry about the foil dude, it is just an old wives tale that reflected light off foil will burn your plants, it won't.
 
So I replanted her to the best neutral soil that I can get in here. pH was 6.5 and it looked a lot like peat and it was more of brownish color.. Anyway lets see if it makes any difference.
Also i noticed the small round leaves has little yellow or brown spots. I added pictures of my setup and of my plant, if ya zoom the picture you can see the spots.
