Please help!!!!!!!

JSM420 · Aug 28, 2009

Yeah, I really need help with my plants/lights and I need to know what I'm doing wrong. Im keeping light on a 24 cycle and watering every 2-3 days and misting twice a day, idk if it matters, but i'm using lawn starter soil, only thing I had. Look at the pictures and please give me some advice, I'm at like almost a month of growing and they suck. PLEASE HELP!!!

Posted some pictures, please look at them and let me know something.

think its the lights im no expert but plants do need the dark 2 ,always thought they were on timers or some thing

i think your probably using the wrong lights, or the wrong way and your probably over watering too

Invest in better soil. It looks they are burning to shit, I can't imagine that lawn starter soil would be any good.
Also you don't need to be spraying them so much. What light do you have?

JSM420 · Aug 28, 2009

4 40 watt florescents, 2 of which are "grow" lights and a little 26 watt floro

plants do need darkness but they can be grown under 24 hours of light. Also plants that are grown under 24 hours of light actually grow faster than those that do have darkness. Its all a matter of personal preference.

It looks like your using fluorescent lights? But you have them WAY too high. Your plants are stretching and not getting enough light. They need light for photosynthesis. Those bulbs dont get too hot so put them about 3" or so above the plants. I think you need to think about a HPS or some other type of HID lights system.

yeah i think your overwatering as well. seedlings need barely any water. You probably should only have to water those every 5 or so days. Just feel the weight of the cup when you finish watering it. when it needs water agin you will be able to tell because it will be WAY lighter.

alright, thanks i appreciate it...ill go and adjust that right now

Also if these have been growing for a month none will probably end up being females. They look like they've been stressed their entire life. You might get a female but it will probably show signs of being a hermi short after. I hope im wrong though. Good luck with your grow.

alright thanks, i just lowered the light, im gonna get better soil today hopefully...so i hope i can save some of them and try to get some bud off of any of them, they really stink though, so idk

JSM420 · Aug 28, 2009

jsm best advice is to read up a lot, the FAQ section has rock solid info that will get you geared up!!
lol if they stink now to you, then you'll pass out from a full blown flowering plant..
Good luck
