I have two plants that i planted Jul 29th so as i am typing this they are 3 weeks 2 days old. I have them under two 42 W CFLs. Lighting is standard 18/6. I have the lights alil high becuz i was told that would promote upward growth. I overwatered alil before but from now on i am going to water them every 4+ days.

Any advice would be great and if any1 culs tell me when they look like they shuld be transplanted that would be great.

I'll keep the pics comin' as my babies develop.









Plant 1






Plant 2

it could b because the lights should be over the plants and at least 3"-4" from the top of the plants. or it could b a nutrient problem

blue (more commonly known as "cool white" fluorescents are better for sprouting and vegging, but red ("warm white") are better for budding. As for transplanting, i think they are good as long as there are nutes in the soil or you are adding them. organics usually need a larger space. once they are about twice that big i would transplant them.
sorry i can't help more

For sure. I just got the two 20 W Flourescents on 'em for now to see how it goes. I think i am going to transplant them when i get $ next wednesday. It looks like the two bottom leaves on each plant are gunna die from that overwatering but for the most part they look good. I'll post pics in a min...
