im not sure about the lighting of the bulb but i think it works WP_20140106_005[1].jpgWP_20140106_006[1].jpgthe lighting is 14/7.
any and all help is welcome.

Its very wet in there isn't it? Fuckin mold on the leaves ,fungus in the soil etc. Get a large fan and run 24/7, get an exhaust fan with ducting to move the old damp air outside. Also what do you mean the lighting is 14/7??

Did you read anything before you started growing? Not to sound like a dick but it just seems like you don't have a clue. What's your temp and Rh? What soil? What strain? What nutes? Is 14-7 your light schedule? That cfl is way to small. Your light should be 20 on and 4 off for veg and 12-12 for flower. The white spots could be mold and the shroom is probably from too much Rh because soil is to wet. Get all the proper tools needed and read read read. Good luck

I keep my plants in the terra until i can plant them outside the inside of the terra has a temp of 24°c in the day and 18°c at night i water the plants ones every week.
The strain is Ak47, Niggaflower And some seed i found in some weed i bought. im in belgium so i start my plants in the terra and them transplant them to soil outside when winter is over.

oh by the way change your light to a 18/6 or a 20/4
u are close to flowering times this could cuase the plant to start flowering before u want it too (if it is photo) 12/12 is flowering

You need more lights man :shock: those little fellas look really stretched, that one light won't get you much :(

- And the plants don't stop growing on lights out


You can get a bunch of Y splitters and connect em to be able to hold a good amount of lights, that's what I've been doing with cfls and works for me.

There are probably easier and cheaper ways but this seems easy and cheap enough for me :) -

Yeah, they look like spider mite bites. Don't assume they're all gone and keep up with cleaning your plants. They are stubborn little fucks that are really hard to completely eradicate. Just keep an eye on it, and don't listen to the dicks.


Two main problems I see


1. You need more light (a shop lamp with a few splitters comes in around $25 and it could hold at least 4 more bulbs)


2. Your environment is way too humid. I'd simply take it out of the terrarium. You are NOT gaining any advantages by keeping your plant in a glass case, and you are giving it environmental stress. It's a cute idea, I just would recommend against it. Plants need air.

You have many issue with this but you probably already know that. you need a better environment and lighting to grow something successful. as for the mold though it looks like the plants are soaked have you put holes in the bottom of those cups? that might be a good place to start. and what is 14 10? that light cycle should not even exist its generally 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flower. I say keep going and make your mistakes but dont be discouraged if you realize money will be a prime factor in this set up process. just start saving now and finish this one out and see how it goes but if that mold persists then you might just have to pull them but only time will tell on that. good luck.

7 is at the high end ............6.5 is the prefect lvl for soils

1 time a week ............ok that is way to long watch the plant water it with some water when the leaves droop pick up then droop again it is watering time (48 72 hours)

u should move them into a bigger pot .........1 gallon of soil is 1 month of growth (the goodies in the soil feeds it) i would use a 3 or even a 5 gallon soil bag

the soil is important the good stuff is called Fox Farm Ocean Forrest (that soil is made for growing weed) other soils are not perfect they are made for other flowers and veggies so the balance of goodies are not perfect for it

feeding it ok .........infact it helps it grow with soil u want a organic feed system to keep the micros in the soil happy ...........look up GO BOX on amazon full kit for about 40 bucks .........order yourself some 1 ml and 3 ml pippettes (100 or 500 count each)............they offer a plan on the side to fallow ......u mix it up in gallon what ever u do not use for that watering dump it out it will not save(last) untill the next watering (bad stuff will grow in the water turning it foul)

STOP >>>>>>>>>>>>MINERAL WATER BAD...........the balance of goodies it offers is off it is not what u want to use ..................use drinking water or if u are city water fill a tub with hot water and wait until it cools off (this will release all the chemicals they add to the water ) once it is cool u can jug it up (when i say jugs i mean water jugs or juice jugs...not milk jugs the water in them will turn foul u can not clean a milk jug .....bleach does not work )

auto plants are much better then u think they are i just got 7 oz off one plant that only grew for 67 days


yes change your light to 18/6 .............photo plants work on seasonly light u are getting to the point where it is time to flower for them so it will not be the same growth pattern ........the plant is thinking it has only a little while then flowering before winter

Where to start.. as mentioned above drainage holes would be a good start, more light too. And if you are looking to make your plants shorter a shorter night time will do that, the night is when a plant stretches most so maybe 24/0 might be an idea
