Right now the light scedule has been a little random i need a timer and my light just burned out it was a 75 watt growing light_ what kind of light would i use or anE help Would Be Tities!!!!! Thanx GrowErs

Start by reading the noobs guide to growroom setup in growroom setup, and the noob instructions for growing the dankness in basic.
Random light = hermies
Too little light = stretch.
That plant only has 4 nodes and is not sexually mature yet.
Tinfoil is not reflective.
Fill out the troubleshooting form like people have suggested in your other posts so we can fix it.

If ANe ONE COUld HELP WOULD be TiGht You SeeN The Pics iT's So Skimpy I got Ride Of the tin FoIl??

Miracle Gro soil has fertilizer in it.
Miracle Gro fertilizer is WAY too strong and harsh for seedlings.
Your plant, having only 4 nodes, may technically still be considered a seedling.
Never fertilize before 5 nodes.
It's lucky you are not growing a light feeding sativa or it would be straight up dead by now.
Also you did not answer your lighting question.
You NEED ventilation or you will suffocate the plant.
Why is your lighting on random?
Why can't you ventilate your grow?

With all the stressors and problems, you might want to reconsider growing until you can build a proper grow chamber with a real exhaust and real lights.

Seriously, read throuhg the grow guide in my sig.

ALright im checking it out more.. I can get ventalation but what do you consider to set my light at?? 18/8 hours idk?? they look healthy just need to broaden

18/8 only if you live on a planet that has 26 hour days.
I ask again for the nth time: WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR A LIGHT?

120 watt R40 plant light, tinted blue?? sorry bro...

He called you bro.....

I was Thinking 16/8 hours for now?? I also heard that males grow faster than females?? because i have three plants and one is more than double of the others but i thought it was just light position or something??

I've gotten better results with straight up CFL's.

You might try looking at some of the CFL logs as well as looking at stinky's newb guide. I think its stickied.

I like 24/0 light during veg. Do some research man it is all in the forum or on the boards.

if you're highallthetime, that means you have plenty of time to do some reading. which seems to be what you need to do.

you see those links in StinkyAttic's signature(below her post) click on the very first one. Start from there and begin reading ALL of the BOLD GREEN TOPICS!!!

they are there for a damn good reason, utilize them.

dont take me as an ass, im just saying blaze a bowl and get to reading. the more effort you put into your grow, the more effort the grow will put into it's self. if you catch my drift.

Look up the difference between incandescent and flourescent and HID lighting. Incandescent is BAAAD.
It's not 16/8 it's 18/6.
Do you know how to set up yoru ventilation and what to use?
Have you read the grow guide yet? This stuff is all explained in there.


Oh- that's 'sis' to you.

sorry sis!! thats my bad just used to it!SaME MEAnInG!!! lol but i have been giving my green 24 hours of light because i need them to get enough nodes so i can start flowering. right now i have 5 nodes and it is over a foot tall.wtf but one of my smaller plants are starting to get a RINkLE to them? and the are under the same cercumstances as the others and farther from the light?? IdK... ThIs DeFF.. TakEs TImE!!! ThAtS 4 SurE... tHaNkZ SIS!!!!!!!!!

yeah man. its not just like you can throw them in a pot get them to sprout and you have beautiful flowers. thats not the case in any sort of gardening.

i suggest you go to wal-mart with about $50 and invest in some cfl lights, a bathroom fixture (i would get a 3 bulb) with the Y adapters to give yourself a total of 6 CFLs in there on the plant. a couple of cheap fans for circulation, (this is a HUGE portion of the grow, please don't underlook this. you can do hours upon hours of reading just on ventilation, i highly suggest you do this also.)

but start yourself a grow log (not sure if you have yet or not) in the indoor or grow log section so it will be much easier to assist you with further questions you may have.





do a search here on the boards and

Yo bro, read up on lighting here:

Answers about CFL, HPS, How Much lighting, etc. I would strongly suggest CFLs, they work wonders for first time growers and are reasonably priced.

In fact, go into the Basics or FAQs section and read every possible stickied and (not stickied for that matter) piece of information you can possibly read about set-ups, lighting, ventilation, watering, nutes, soil etc etc.

If you don't at least cover the basics (light, air, soil) you aren't going to be able to flower anything, especially a dead plant.

Oh yea and listen to Miss Stinky, she's a very wise woman, and she has a good point about waiting to grow until you can give your ladies what they need.

READ READ READ. Just my opinion.

Peace,

Hey man, cfls (compact florescents) are really easy to grow with and they don`t put off a lot of heat so you can hang them right over the tops of the plants. You won`t have the plants stretching for the light. Go to Home Dumpo and buy some cheap shop lights that use 40 watt cool white bulbs. You`re plants will love it. Also make sure you have a timer connected to them, the fan etc.. I hope this helps, take care. Chili

I have been giving them 24/7 light for now because i was told that before i didn't give my babies enough light so they were stretching and i needed more nodes to start 12/12 flowering... So what do you experts THINK?? I believe the white marks on the flowers are because i usually have my light very close. Because i have distilled water and it only happens to the top leaves closest to light... And my shorter ones don't have any marks on them nice and green..
