never plant more than one plant per pot, i would put them in party cups and then transplant the females to your bigger pot. Get rid of the tin foil, go to k-mart and but a 99 cent mylar space blanket. i would look into some more lighting, the one plant is super streched.

GOOD LUCK and keep growing

Looks average,

are they fem seeds? If not more then one in the same pot is a failboat waiting to sail. also foil is bad, clear plastic tupperwear is bad and yea most of what I see is bad. GL tho if you fix the issues no reason you cant grow a good plant or 2.

nope they are just seeds i took out of some shitty weed. all i could find. and i ran out of soil thats why they are 2 in 1.

At least the herb gets a little stronger every time it grows new gen from seeds and with the proper care you may end up with some decent smoke maybe 1 blunt instead of 2 to get high =D Oh and most brick weed is a mix of male/female/hermies and morphs . Not much care put into growing by the 1000's , so when sexing comes around you may have something much better than you expected .:clap: I started with CFLS, bumped up to Fluoros then to led pannels just to realize that it would have been cheaper to start with a CFL even a lil 250 like someone earlier said, try your local craigs list for an inexpensive cheap system.

If money is a super big issue and you plan on going full grow with no HIGH OUTPUT LIGHT, then at least get a few 4 foot TWIN light fixtures from walmart i think they are 13.99 each for the 2 light hoods. The bulbs you can get are VERY specific in spectrum's and are dirt cheap. so you can mix and match for different stages of growth. For 2 or more plants your going to need MORE LIGHT, the more cfls or normal fluorescent bulbs you have the better.

Sorry for confusion I meant it would have been cheaper to just start off with HPS high pressure sodium system. not cfl.

hey tpimp, looking good. i have a few comments for you though.

First I am glad your plants bounced back so good from the early transplant, but some of them look like you didnt put enough soil on top, and I almost think I see root s in one pic. just add a little dirt. I would go so far as to pull soil out of the yard, sift it for any crap , and place around top of plant.

Second, there are a lot of helpful people on here, and you have been visited by a few, but try not to jump to quickly at others advice. I say that cause you probably could have let them grow together and get a little stronger before the transplant. Bug spray is a difficult issue to discuss. there are a lot of different opinions on it, but do some searches on other peoples solutions for ridding of them. some bug spray may kill your plants.

Lastly, many people HATE CFLs on this site. But there is nothing wrong with them, if you have enough of the right ones. people pull oz's and more off of CFL grows. You need daylight for veg (4000-6500kelvin) and soft white for flower (2700kelvin and lower). Get your feet wet with CFL's, then if our not satisfied, or ready to evolve to the next level, then try an HPS. I have heard, not experienced mind you, that the following 2 sites have good systems.

http://www.sunlightsupply.com/hort/products.aspx?request=pl01&type=subcat&title=Complete%20Systems&pagenum=1

Your doing fine for now. look for a few more high wattage (actual wattage) cfls in the blue (daylight) spectrum. You are doing good so far, so dont worry to much yet. Happy Growing!
