Keep the lights off until they sprout. Good luck.

Dark, warm and moist until sprout.

awesome thank yous so much i hope to be growing 10 star bud i will be starting them inside then they are going outside and should finish around end of september ive never herd of this strain but they were sorta on the lower price range cuz i had to get other lights ..how does 2 daylight cfls 2600k and 2 4ft agrosun flourecent grobulbs sound for starting 10 plants off..might invest in 2 more cfls as they get bigger but for now does that sound good??..also im runnin around 80degrees ferinhegt and lights are on 24hrs then they are going straight to the outside.. or do u think it would be better to put them outside during the day and bring them in at night?? im really new at this so any info helps..but i really hope someone can answer those few questions..thanks so much for helpin me out i really appreciate it!!!

Er, um, daylight CFL's are not 2600K. Are you sure you have your facts straight? This is what I did for my 10 little ones with 5700K, 23W CFL's:

well acctually no im not i lied lmao..i checked again and i forgot i got different ones..all it says on the package was 1600 lumens and i think like 40w maybe whatever 1600 lumens is i think the package said 40w but not sure but i know forsure that they are 1600lumens...sorry about the 2600k thing scratch that..and yah so do u think 2 1600 lumen cfl's and 2 40w flourecent grow bulbs is ok to start 10 little ones off..and do u think putting them in the window sill when the sun is killer bright will be good or just keep them under lights..? and o yah if thats not enough light i might just do like 7 plants cuz 10 is kinda hard for me for the first time like taking them outside and whatnot..and one more think do i have to bring them outside during the day and inside at night when they start getting a bit bigger or just keep them under lights then go straight outside for good i just thought maybe they might get like shock or sumthing if they just go straight outside from inside..hope someone can answer me thanks so much to everyone thats helped me so far!!

Write in English with punctuations and capital letters. Your posts are too hard to read. This is a forum and you're not texting your buddy.

Sure, I'm an ass. One that can only read English.

. sorry im just so used to it lol..Anyways, i went back to the store and got 2 more balbs and i found those spliter things so you can use 2 bulbs from one outlet like you have, i had a very hard time finding them, and i also found out the exact specs for the bulbs, they are 26wat daylight cfls(6500k), will daylight cfls be ok or should I have got cool or soft white??, so i have four of those daylight cfls and two 4ft agrosuns 40w flourecent grow bulbs. So based on those facts do you think that the light that I have will be enough to start atleast 7 or 8 plants??..and also what do you think about the outside during day and inside at night thing??..do I have to do that or can I just leave them inside and then bring them straight outside for good?..the place were I live is not the best for having weed plants outside my house so if I could I would like to just keep them inside till they are big enough to go outside. I hope you will answer me now that im trying my hardest to use proper english, also forums look way nicer and way easier to understand..im truely sorry for that my friend...also I have a plant growing inside it is 6 weeks old and I just starting flowering it yesturday due to hairs showing on 18/6. The strain is Big Bang and I know its a bit small(12inchs), thats from not using ph'd water for the first like 4 weeks, it was at like 7 so i bought some ph down and they are growing so quik and looking so much nicer and skunky..I hope you will check it out and tell me what you think thanks alot!!

Hey, sorry forgot one thing, on my plant do you think I should take some of the bottom leaves off to get more light at the new growth, but not just for that I think it would thin out the plant and look nice, not all of them just like the bottom 2 node leaves probobly..??

I am suprised you posted those pics and didn't say "Why are all of my fucking lower leaves wilting?". You might want to ask yourself/someone that question and figure out what's going on because i'll tell you right now thats not how they are supposed to look. I am not a good person to ask about diagnostics but over-watering, too many/not enough nutrients, and proper lighting is something you need to take into consideration. Best of luck!

Good eye TFM. They look way too overwatered.

It looks like you really need to do a lot more research before you go much futher, Brad. I know it seems daunting, but spend some time searching through RIU (you can do this efficiently using google, by putting the words "site:rollitup.org" after your searches), you will be surprised at how many of your questions have already been answered. Searching "light on seed? site:rollitup.org", the second result is an answer to your question from 2007.
If you can't find an answer to something using that method, try to re-word your search.

When I first started to use RIU, I read the "classic" grow journals like that of Al B. Fuct and Stinkbud. I recommend you do the same, or at least the first 15 pages of each. The dialogue and information in those forums will give you good foundation for growing, even if their methods don't suit you.

Yea, you are. You made a special post just to be a snob about his grammar. Like you said, this is an internet forum. Not everybody has the same educational background.

yeah boy wit the busshy plany you should fix that trim a frew nodes off.

Damn FaceMelter is sooo right This baby is suffering. Most likely from overwatering, but watching the leaves turning somehow inside might be a bit of nutburn aswell.. You've said in your first post that you have 10 sprouts. DO NOT throw the 3 that you think are too many but instead see wall-mart again and buy 2 more CFLs. From 10 seedling, under heavy conditions and from bag seed you can only prey that you are lucky enough to have 5 girls. That means that after they start showing sexes you'll have more room than you initially wished for.
Don't cut any leaves. Better yet buy 2 more CFLs to put under the plants, next to the pots. this way you can make sure every leaf gets light in order to feed the plant.
You might say i'm too generous with buying CFLs. Don;t know the street weed's price where you are but here is about 12 bucks/gram... and that means a light bulb for a gram and also every bulb might mean a few grams more on your lady so twice the economy.
Answering another question of yours. Putting your plants in the window won't help too much unless you keep your windows wide open. Modern windows have UV protection and alot of the so needed spectrum is filtered by the glass. Plus you get them some extra stress from moving them and from temperature differences that may vary alot.
I hope this helps Good luck, happy smokin'

well im not sure there newgrows60s im using a 400w hps light to grow 1 plant and im using all advance nutrients and i thought i had a nutrient problem like u said so i went and got revive made my adsvance nutrients, cures all nutrients difecincys, and just all the most common plant problems..ive been using it or 2 weeks now..little differnce with new growth and the bottom leaves i think are just hurt from before when i wasnt using ph'd water like i said..and i only water like every 5 days and my feeding schedual is water then feed then water then feed... i spent so much time searching for my problem already and have no luck ive tried everyting im using ph'd water, i have good lighting, when i water my plants i get about 25% of the water back from drainage and my temps are stedly running around 77f..like honesly ive seen people grow in way way worse condition than me and just even using floros and all the chepest nutes and ending up with some amazing plants..can someone honetly please help me i feel like such a fool, ive spent like 400$ on supplies and my plants are looking so shity my girlfriends going to fuckin kill me if they dont grow please help..and yah 10$ gram here..if there is anything else you need to know about my setup plz let me know..and this thred is only about my 1 inside plants..i think im all set for my other little ones so if you can just please help me get my ladie back on track..thanks so much!

hello..? where did everyone go, i sit here looking at this living thing as it suffers and i just want it to speek to me and tell me whats wrong..but it wont speek to me unless i smoke abunch of weed lmao..but yah im i need of help i red that over watering thing and that could be the problem because i put like 2litres of water into my plant and when it drains it really pours out alot..is there a way to cure this..say if i dont water my plant for a while will my leaves start looking alot better??..and also would it be a good idea to put two 26w cfls under my plant to give more light at the bottom or is a 400w hps good enough..hope someone will answer me..thanks alot!

and if i do put cfls in with my one plant should it be daylight or soft or cool??

no no i dont water every day i water like every 5 days and i feed every second time, so say one time i will water then the next 5 days i will water feed then 5 more days i will just add water..and no my soil does not have any furts it is just regular potting soil its called premium potting soil premuim is the brand name..and if it was a nute deficency then the revive stuff i have made by advance nutrients would have cured it by now..so then i bought a ph tester and my ph was 7, which is to high so i bought some ph down and now my ph is 6 maybe a little over 6..so ive been feeding it good ph'd water 2 times now becuase im so stupid and i never checked my ph until my plant was like 4 weeks almost 5 so i think it is sorta coming back..if there is anything else you need to know please go ahead and thanks so so much for your help. i greatly appreciate it.

IMO, those plants are over watered.
