+rep buddy, good luck!the reason why i haven't put the MH yet is that the space im going to use isn't ready yet due to $ problems. but ill have the funds to have the grow room done next week and i cant lower the fixture any lower cuz of how the closet is built, unfortunately I don't have money to build something to make it higher right now.i have a fan on them right now to make the stem on my mamasita's nice and hard. plus i only have 2 that are really stretch out like that.i also have 78 seedling that are very healthy. i see a lot of newbies that have their seedling dieing on them in 1 week so i personally think im doing very good especially having an 82% germination/seedling rate for right now. still have some seeds germinating. i had a partner to help wit $ and labor but he was too fat to carry 2-5 gallon water containers over hills. thanks for the luck i started this journal not to show off but to get help and advice from experts , to do things right, and not have a di*k wad telling everyone that this seems like a joke. if you want to help me out and give me advice thanks. i appreciate the help. but if not, plz keep does type of opinions to yourself and "F" off. im here to learn the right way

Just make sure that you have plenty of ventilation when you change the light to MH, if not you will have a lot of dead seedlings. It will look like the Marijuana holocaust...LOL... It's awesome to see someone trying to help the MMJ community, just make sure the males get pulled before transplant, if not your efforts will be futile. Who knows you may be the next Chilli Palmer of MMJ when you are done...LOL... This sorta thing takes effort and patients, especially for your first grow. Don't get down on yourself if some do not survive or if you have to start back at square one. It took me a year to get a decent first full grow, and it's worked like magic since. If you live in the bay area, check up on Oaksterdam classes if they still run them, they are cheap for weekend classes and run about $250, and will give you that extra special green thumb!
Also test the ph levels before you switch to any other light..Too much heat with too little or too much ph will cause you to have a very bad day. But that is what we are all here for in this community, for support, and not being an a$$ hole like little Johnny Drama over there.. Seriously, this is a stoners commune, not for the ones with Jack Daniels at heart. People come on here thinking that they have all the knowledge about growing and then they put down a Greenhorn for makin mistakes... This community does not support duechbags if I may say so. WALDO! so much +rep it's not even funny! GREAT JOB!

This is a great idea, waldo you should carry this out!
I was going to tell you just to take some 2.4 and make rows out of them and then put your cups on top of them to get an extra 1.5 closer into that light!
Keep on kickin buddy!
Heres another things somebody brought up, when you pull all those males out of those holes you have them planted in what are you going to do with all those empty holes?
Well here is what your going to do buddy, take clones off the bottom branches of your maturing females of the plants you like the most and then go plant those clones where your males were once standing. IE you will stagar your harvest this way thus making it a bit easier on yourself come harvest time and the trimming and drying process will not be breaking your back so much!
Best of luck to you mate and keep on growin!

I have the same name as Johnny and I feel like a disgrace after the things he said! haha even though I was the first one to raise the red flag on him and get pissed for shunning our greenhorn here!
Keep on growin waldo and dont let anyone get you down, if theres one thing I can tell you about growin its that a positive attitude is the best thing you can have..... this is not a joke at all! Keep your spirits high and dont let anyone bring you down because once you get brought down, your babies will feel your pain!
Best of luck to you mate, and never look up when tending your garden of weeden!

Use a stake an some wire to suport your plants at the stalk, put a fan on em to help stiffen em up also. They will be ok. I would ad some Cfls close if the budget will allow.
I use white cfls to start mine, about 3-4 inches away an it gives me very little space between the nodes.
The more you read the better it will grow. I hope u harvest every plant an blow everyones mind. Good luck.
P.S. dont fertilize for 2-3 weeks, soil can t be mud its got to be alittle dry.
Use a thermomitor to check your temps closely heat is hard on young plants.

Very good Waldo. When your using that particular type of light they just need to be really close because the light from those fluorescents dissipates very quickly with every inch.

Wait it out a few more days and see what happens either they will rot or they will grow thats their only 2 choices waldo! If you put them into soil you will have more of a chance of rot I do believe but I guess that depends how far their tails sticking out!
Best of luck and let them have another day to prove themselves before you send them to the incinerator bro!
