3 of the 60 watt coil fluros... in hanging fixtures . We started them out for the first month at 24/0 and after the first week in the bigger pots i switched to 20/4 the stems looked really fluffy and white is that normal??

honestly the best thing to do is 24hrs if you can, and give them lots of light. also make sure to not over water, what type of water are you using? tap, bottled,distilled?

Well i heard a few things about water...
right now we are using regular tap water after sitting to room temps, and open to evaporate most of the chlorine, is this a good method. And i bought plant food mixture that mixes one gallon to one small scoop, i water with the mixed water every other time.

i have a buddy that was doing that with tap water, he lives in a city so its pretty bad water, i saw his plants after he watered them once and i told him to buy some bottled water or distilled, so he did that and his plants have taken off, and dont over water them. you have to figure that out, trial and error.

Hey yoyo, wait a minute, I have a question if you please. Are you saying those plants are 5 weeks old? Seedlings do not require additional nutrients for the first few weeks in soil, just plain ph'd water is fine. Maybe I'm confused ( or high).

During its fall it might pick up some dust that will settle in the bottom of the barrel. Leave the dust in the bottom and you will have great water. Where did you get your information. You hav:hump:e done some studying yes?? VV

We are thinking of going to switch HPS lights do you think that would be a good idea and how many watts would we need. Trying to get one of the huge spot lights ? What do you think?
