MORE LIGHT!!! i am changing all my lights to 100w or 27 watt instead of a 40 60 and 100. i think with the foil surrounding my plant it will be much better and stretch much less. i use the non shiny side of the foil of course to minimize hot spots.

ROOM UPDATE:

alright more light mutha fuckas. im now running two 150 watt cfls one 100 watt and a 40. this is the watts seen or what ever not the actual wattage. i believe its like two 28s one 26 and one 14 or something like that and i added some foil. hopefully i will have pics soon, but that shit is BRIGHT i need sun glasses to go in there!!!

I am able to see your pictures so I'm not sure why he can't. I think you'll actually be okay. Not ideal, but okay. I'm following a grow that has so far only used 2 2' full spectrum fluoros for 20 days on veg and the plants are looking pretty nice considering the extreme low amount of light (and 11 plants). The lights will be changed to 10 23w 2700k for flowering tomorrow so we'll see how that affects everything.... but remember, thats for much more than 1 plant. I am in no way a knowledgeable person on the subject as I have no personal experience but I've been researching growing and have gathered a decent amount of information through others.... here is the thread i started with those 11 plants if you want to take a look... i'm going to try to update it as well as I can.

Fuck me Unkie, that is sad looking little fucker.
Ease up on the water, it's stressed from moisture.
Under those lights I'd be watering that every 10 fucking years!
You need better lighting, ventilation, etc.
I've never seen a seedling propped up like that!
It shouldn't need it.
I'm here to help.
What do you need to know, and how much money can you devote to getting it right?

well shit its now strong enough to support itself, i removed the q tip lol. i figure i have good ventilation i have a fan blowing on it all the time. i wait until the soil is dry all the way down my finger before i water. and i cant devote much money at all really. :( i dont want to lose this one

OK, lets work with what you've got.
Don't top it until it has recovered, it needs all the leaves it's got to transpire out the moisture from that over watered soil.
Let the soil dry out like you said. When you are ready to water give it some nutes high in Nitrogen but no more than 150ppm. Or use about 10% strength if you don't have a TDS meter.
Make sure when you water that you get plenty of run off, this will stop the build up of nutes in your soil.
Keep me posted.

yeah after i determined something was wrong i knew not to top it.

i transplanted it today and flushed it last night, it does not look much better yet but the leaves feel slightly more moisturized than they did before it could be me though ima upload pics soon.

i have also been using a little molasses does that mess with the acidity of my water? i dont think it should right?


if you thought it looks bad just wait till i get these pic up OMG im so scared.

im also going to improve my lighting by making a grow box with proper reflection and all that but not until friday.

i also use co2 from my paintball markers as a supplment for that not much just a spray e few times a day.

Dont fucking spray the little bugger with anything, including water.
A plant that size has enough CO2 in the air.
I know it looks like shit but hopefully it will pick up soon for you.
Watch and wait is all you can do now.

You know, every time I look at it I feel sorry for it.
Good idea with the grow box mate.
Even if you just move it into a corner of the room or something, for now, it looks so lonely out there all by itself.
Play it some music or something to keep it company.
You need to make use of reflection for those lights.
Your set up looks like it's in the middle of a large room.
Get some reflection happening, yes.
I really want to see this little bugger pull through.
Did you say it was a chronic seed? Is it a fem?
Also what's the PH of the new soil?

Hey man it looks to me like the lights are to close to the plant. Try pulling the lights back an inch or two and see how it does for a day or two. Also it is wise to grow like 3 plants at once because the odds are that might be a male and if it is then it would be a waste of a month growing that plant. hopefully that is a female and u are not wasting your time with a male. Well anyways good luck and I might not be the best grower but I have a little experience with cfl and fluorescent tubes.
