Help?!?!?!?!

My Bubba kush strains are a week old (since buying them). I brought them home, put in soil, gave an initial feed of "miracle grow", put them in my closet with two floresent lights, and a fan. They are both a BEAUTIFUL green, but seem stalled. I don't see ANY form of growth, (nor death). The lights run 24/7 and are no greater than 2 ft. away from them. I don't have ANY type of testing epuipment, nor any "professional" nutes. WHY aren't they doing ANYTHING??????

those lights need to be a lot closer .

First of this is true, the lights have to be at lest half the distance if you are going to get any of the necessary penetration from fluorescents.

It sounds like you had them in some soil that provided nutrients for the first few weeks and now that those nutrients have reached their expiration date, your plants are starting to be flushed, which you obviously do not want at this stage of growth. You will need to go get (at minimum) a basic indoor plant nutrient that is high in Nitrogen. I highly recommend that you start testing your ph (at certain ph levels your plants will not absorb the nutrients) and if you can afford it you should get a ppm tester as well, other wise it is a guessing game, and it is not good to leave all your growing efforts up to chance.

Thanks! I ended up at a hydro store today and got a ph tester, some ph down, new soil, and something much better than miracle grow. It seems I had put the two into a couple of 3 gallon pots instead of something small to get a good root base. Solved now. Oh yeah, also the ph was at 8.3!!!
