1st Attempt at growing!

so i got my new light today..took like 3 hours to set everything up..did up the wiring, lowered the boxes a little...
now theres 3 plants to a lamp...
the bigger ones get the orginal and the smaller ones get teh new one..
and already they grown! yay =)

nice new setup, you might want to add dirt up to the first set of leafs that might make the stem more stable and less likely to bend

Don't worry to much around day 18 stems will start to harden and they don't seem to fall or tip after that.

i tihnk the adding soil would help....but just now i just put some straws next to the stems and twist tied them...but im gonna take them off in like a week...

if u can bury the streached stem then do it up to jus below the first node.

i got more soil and filled it up...but i think when i poked some straws down i damaged some roots...cause the first leaves are like limp...and i cut one of them...so sad ='(

maybe straws wasnt a good idea, sorry for ya loss

i know people that use 2 hooks or hangers and they hook one end around the stem and then the other part of the hook on the pot and then do the same for the otherside... so that its pulling or pushing on both sides to stand in the middle, it also helps the plant not fully 100% depend on the support making it easier to take the support out. i wish i had a pic to show you what i mean but if you need more detail just let me know and i will try... everyone that i know got great results and thicker stems..

I used to use colored paper clips to lst when clones were really small.. I'd just unfold them except for the last fold, then I could mold that end to serve any stem holding needs.. The plants never seemed to mind the jab from something that small when I pegged them in..

its good...they recoved

glad to hear that man. do u think they will be ok now?

i donno just waiting til my plants get bigger..their stil kinda small right now..but shit..i want more lights...once they almost reach their harvest time

whats stopping u getin a decent light? I got a 250w hps floodlight for 80 notes

i just got one...and its gonna get too hot in my closet...but i would once they get a bit bigger....
and it normal for the leaves to just limp?

cause i think i damaged one of my plants roots....
and now my first set of leaves are yellow, and limp...hope it gets stronger as the week goes on

well i took some pictures for you to see what i mean..
my plants lower leaves are all dry yellow and shrived..

i had a seedling that didnt make it after some root stress. I just keep a close eye on em and water them as normal and hope for the best.

i hope it they make it...the big one looks bad...gosta keeep it moving

yeah i have had that a couple times where the lower leaves yellowed and shrivled up and i would just pull them off and only thing i noticed is more growth for the plant you doin fine keep us updated

my plant(s) has gosta worst... the leaves are even more limp...not dry tho..but looks like it dryin...i been watering it..alot since it looks like it uses alot of its engery
