right i bought 10 female white widow seeds... but only 7 germinated..... heres a few pics as they growin....








Tell me what you think, are they growing well? all tip and pointers are always needed!!!!

thanks guys il keep you up to date ok....

wow man your seedlings look pretty bad.. you need to give them major light..
I'd put them under your 600w (a few feet away) for a week so they can recover and grow properly
or get a few CFLs a couple inchs above them, ASAP

they look like sunflowers rather then marijuana

are they really looking that bad?

movd under 600wat light, kept it a distance away from them...shud they be ok or is it worth starting fresh?

how far is the light away from the plants??? get it a little closer if its like 10 ft away

what you can do, is repot them, and plant the stem in like a circle, so that all that shows is a little bit of stem and the leaves. and then move the light a bit closer.

The plants are ludicrously stretched as your hid is to far away.
As long as the hps is about 24" away from the seedlings and you have a fan blowing at the lamp,not on the seedlings yet as they will probably fall over they will be fine.

Put them into coffee cup sized pots and plant them right back down so that only about 1-2" of stem is visible above the soil.
If they continue to stretch like they are they will probably topple over and snap and die.
Nice equipment and grow room though

Yes, try and save them but I would suggest germing a few more seeds just in case.

Dude, transplant those seedlings into their pots and bury the majority of the stem. That will give the stem support. then get a few fluorescent lights within a few inches of the seedlings to stop the stretching and encourage more horizontal growth. If you put them under the HPS they will either continue to stretch or fry.

Also, your set up looks cool as hell. Try using as little duct tubing as possible. I noticed from the picture that you have plenty of slack in the tubing between the fan and the hole in the wall. You loose a significant percentage of fan power for every foot of ducting.

Yeah i have a dual spectrum hps,if yours isnt dual spectrum youll need some cfls or fluro tubes to emit some blue light

il reset the light to about 24inch's away from them, got a fan blowing on the lamp....il repot them and only let about 2inch of the stem show above soil level....the lamp is a son-t sodium....nooby at all this so dont no about ti being duel spectrum or woteva...when i bought the guy sed it perfect for both veg and flowing cos it acts like a matel halide does....dunno for deffinate....il post more pics as i get um....that for the help guys keep it coming....

they grow up so fast

new pics please

just put them under alot of light so the stems can get thicker and support the plant

ok will post new pics tomorrow as im goin to work now...( prays everythin will be ok )

Sweet little Grow space. Next time go to Wal-mart and pick up a $15.00 Shop Light for your seedlings. A Shop light will save you a couple of bucks on your electric bill. Never start plants under a HID. It's a waste of time and money.

ok guys heres some more up-to-date pics taken this morning.....









there they are leave your feedback!!!!

they look like they're stretching

Add more soil to your pots and bury the stems a tad bit more!
