Lighting?

IM LOST! I have no idea what to do, I have germinated my seeds, I have 4 plants sitting in a box right now, tallest root is about 3-4 inches the others are between 1-3 inches, and I had this bright light with 60 leds in it, but it only last 5hrs before the light burns out,

It basically doesnt look like there growing right now I cant tell. all of them have 2 tiny leaves,

SO HERES MY QUESTIONS

1. I have this cheap discoball, with a bulb inside, im not sure how powerful it us, but when I turn it on, it get hot right away, am I risking a fire by using it?

2. On one of my plants, it has the 2 small leaves, yes, but on the tip of one of the small leaves, its like dried up brown, is that heat exposure?

3. how much light should I be putting on these babies?

4. What height should I wait for until i can tranfer them outside into the nice warm soil?

5. Any other advice or tips I should know?


:wall:



I can take pictures if it really helps answer my questions, THANK YOU!

3. how much light should I be putting on these babies?

depending on the lights you choose, I wouldnt reccommend less that 150 watt of CFL (around 500 equiv). or 250 HPS.

4. What height should I wait for until i can tranfer them outside into the nice warm soil?

are they in cold soil??? They should be in warm soil now.

5. Any other advice or tips I should know?

read, read, read, search, and read some more
 
Ya im not good with math, so I dont know how much light is coming off all the bulbs I have and whatnot... and also there not in cold soil I was just meant it in a way that when can i move them outside :P

A fucking DISCO BALL!! Read a grow guide before you try again. This grow is toast. Dont give up, just learn a little more before you burn someting down.

growing is a science. the science of botany. science has math involved. real lab equiptment costs money.

get a job untill you can afford all the supplies you need. it will be worth it.

this is not a grow light. it does not emit the proper spectrum of light for cannibis to grow properly, if at all(the exact problem you are having)

pictures would be awesome.
lets see this.:fire:
