your biggest problem i think is the ph its to high and those little ph meters from lowes is plenty accurate for what were doing.get your ph down to 6.o or as close as possible. now go get some 42 watt cfls they shine as bright as a normal 150 bulb. walmart sells reflectors with socket for like six bucks get you atleast six of them. use these and all u got i u can and i promise you will be happy. also from my exsperience get a small fan to blow directly across the plants it helps with the inner growth and stem. this pic is my current grow.

alright cool i actully do have 2 fans in there one on the top shelf and one on the floor that moves so all the plants get hit

no cutting needed just keep things like that until u either get more of the cfls i mention or buy a hps light. sunsystems has a cheap 150 watt hps for i think 75 bucks. or like i did when i went into flower got my hands on a 1000watt hps.

i seriously doubt your ph has anything to do with it.. its just the lighting problem... you can fuck with the ph if you want.. but no matter how spot on the ph is if you starve your plants of light they wont grow... you only need a 250w light if your only growing a few plants... im sure you can get one for like 150 bucks.. maybe cheaper on ebay... until then the more floros the better

simpsoni seriously dout the only problem is the light the ph he posted was 8 thats locking out lots of nutes mainly used in veg. and if you are going to spend 150 or more dollars why bother with 250 watts with just a little more money u can double or triple that wattage. just read the thread before u make a suggestion.

i have just 126 watts all cfls veging 10 to 12 plants until there 10-12 inchs. ph is important to the growth of the plant. and some soils are harder to control when there cheap and yes i have used cheap ass soil.

hay weed think like this. ur gonna get more light cfls,hps what ever u can. your first grow might not net u a bundle but alittle hustle and a couple bucks the first one can make a big difference in the next grow. it may take 6 to 8 months to get the ball rolling but then it will be a lot better and u will know a lot more.

hey thanks but yeah i kind of wanted these plants so i can clone cause getting the seeds off of the internet is kind of hard for me since i only have a debit card a week or so ago i tried to order some seeds from attitude and when i clicked on visa debit cards it told me i had to contact them and i just didnt think that was a good idea

if you want clones off these no problem u can. i would wait until the lighting is improved. and read up on the coloning on this site lots of different ways to do it. now do you know if you have all girls already? now if u dont know if there girls take as many clones off them as u can. and if done right itll be like topping all of them and the might help increase ur first yield alittle. do you have a local grow shop or hydro store. search around this site for a thread on a cfl layout that is said to rival a 400watt hps. and make sure that the cfls are 2700 for flower and 5700 for veg. i use 2700 only but some say use the higher kelvin rating for veg.
