OK so a little help would be appreciated. I have a tight budget for now and was wondering about the setup i have for the flowering stage. I have 2 cfl round lights hanging from the ceiling, 1 is above the plants and the other is in the middle of them. The one in the middle, is this going to be a problem where it is located? Should I move it so it is above the plants like the other. I have had the plants under this setup for about 4 hrs and already the leaves are drooping down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How much are you watering? Too much or too little will make the leaves droopy. You don't want to water it too much.

Also, for flowering, you want as much light as possible. What are the specs on those lights?

I'm not sure if you want that one lower down, because it looks like there aren't too many leaves down there. I'd say put both on top side by side. Try and get em as close as possible w/o actually touching the leaves.

put them on top.. so they have a direction to grow...also lights on the bottom are not as effective as top.. the leaves are designed to harness light the bottom for suport.... your plants are droopy due to how much water you used to water your plants...

This is what you need to buy if you want a great grow...

pH tester for your water.
and maybe a moisture meter...

Bother under 6 bucks..

THATS IT!


pH your water, dont use nutes yet and dont overwater and you will bet set.

I agree... The Lights need to be above the leaves and the should be side by side...

O O <= Like that..

Also if you are flowering, You may want to get a compact fluorescent bulbs warm spectrum... they're cheap and better for flowering.
