you might want to move your lights above the plants, the bottom of the leaves are very sensitive to light. side-lighting works great for older plants but i don't know about seedlings

New Pics

Hows my setup so far, i got 2 more bulbs i can hang, just waiting on cords and sockets. its getting to be a mess so after the grow a bit more im gonna rewire it neatly lol.

Its about 7 or 8 days since they came out of the soil on the big ones and like 2-3 on the little ones. The little ones have some thick ass stems lol

Yeahhh dude, they look MUCH more comfortable in their new home, you should notice over the next few days that your nodes will start getting closer together. It really doesn't matter if some of your stems are long and lanky either, it shouldn't affect your plant any. It will make it easier to tie down if you decide to go with that method.

To put things into perspective, I've had this one hovering an inch below a 26w CFL for a week and a half and this is where it's at, it's a medical seed, watered generously once a day and 24h lights.


Only one 26 watt bulb will barely keep it alive, but it will not flourish or thrive and grow.

There is ample light, sufficient light and insufficient light.

It's getting over 10 000 lumens in my box :/ is that not enough?


I agree my plant looked haggard at first because I just had it sitting in a window until I found this site. I now have my own grow box seen above and this is what my canopy now looks like after 2 days in it's new environment.


Keep in mind this is the SAME plant you just commented on above.

I thought your post said ONE 26 watt bulb, sorry, my mistake.

10,000 lumens is what the sun provides per square foot and is excellent.

It's actually not my thread haha I just posted the pic to show the guy what mine looked like at the time. But cool that means I'm doing something right now! :D Been doing my homework lately.

Sensi, those look nice dude for two weeks, are you using CFLs?

Looks like a pretty awesome veg box to me dude! Probably gonna have to do some rearranging when you flower, if you want them to get big that is.

Don't know what a two week old plant is "supposed" to look like, but here are mine at around 2 weeks.
