hi im new here. I started my first grow a few weeks back from seeds. And ive already burnt my poor babies.

i dont really have anything to ask just yet any simple tips would be a help thanks.

here's some pic's



this was a cutting what a friend gave me but she died could not get her rooting system going.


now theses are my lil babies what ive made a good start on apart from burning me tips.


as you can see here i have 1 that's not growing the same as the rest would be nice to see what that has in store 4 me.

now this my last but not least

What's your light source. Try standing the ones that are falling over up with toothpicks or somthin. Other than that it looks good. Keep those pics comin.

the more light the better.... with cfl u loss a lot of the lumans every 12 inchs... around the bulb.....so if u got that light more than 12inchs away.... ur pumpin about....6,000 lumans... which is good for the veg state... but for flowering ur gonna want more..... about 10,000 per sq in min. ...thats y people precech keeping the cfl light as close as possable an inch or so... i dont know ur sizes of ur box..... but... foil will make hot spots... even with cfl...





if anyway out there dissagrees... let me know....


flat whites the best, do two coats!


Material Percent Reflected
Foylon 94-95%
Reflective Mylar 90-95%
Flat White Paint 85-93%
Semi-gloss White 75-80%
Flat Yellow 70-80%
Aluminum Foil 70-75%
Black Less Than 10%

ps the trick is to have all around quilty buds even at the bottom.... if ur rooms bigger than 3X3 i would add one more off them for flowering....

not right now your plants are small. Give em a while like a week then start to lower the light a little each day. I think you want to end up anywhere from 12" to 18" away from the light. You loose lumens the further your light is from your plants.

In all reality you should limit your watering, wait till the top-soil is dry, not peeling away from the sides of the medium, but dry to the touch, dont want to over water/feed.

other than that, lookin good! keep it up!:weed:

The main prob I see is the soil. Need to mix in some perlalite in your soil for the next repot. Perllite will help the pot drain better after watering. Also you need a place for water to go. Use somthing like this




I put the white closet shelving over the top of that. I support the shelve so I dont have to move it to remove water

lol that shelving did you do that cus id kick whoever hung that IMO... but yes foil is bad get it out use flat white paint , mylar, cheap substitute for mylar is the shiny wrapping paper at the dollar store, car windshield visor, etc thier all better than foil...
second thier streaching move that light down 12 to 3inches from the plants jus make sure the heat isnt gonna burn them ( yes high watt cfls do create some heat) good rule of thumb is if its too hot for your hand rite at the top of your plants its too hot for the plant

and if you dont have a fan ur gonna need one to stengthn the stems so they dont topple over
