about 1 month in!

been going at this one for about a month. seems small to me. im using 1 40w cfl bulb. do i need to add more light?

Those are very small for a month old. What are you growing it in. and yes you do need more light. How close is the light?

give it 2 more 40's and it will double/ triple in size in a matter of a week.

Wow ya thats really small for a month. ADD MORE LIGHT!

im just growing it in a closed area. its actually in my spare bedroom. i have the 1 light about 2inches away. i am going to purchase more light today.

for a small space, you can get plenty of light with two 26w cfl's. 6500k. bet they will grow a ton more as soon as you add more light

Deffo more light

will take another picture in a week to show progress. thanks for the help

mh or hps..

lol unbelievably tiny! haha. i thought mine was small at one month.
Dont ever use just one 40w light on a grow.. comlete waste of time.

no offense but mine looked better than that in 3 days with the 400 Hps.

i know mh and hps are best i have a hps bulb but the ballast that i have seen are to expensive for me at the moment. thats why i am only trying 1 plant right now.

any cheap ballast ideas would be appreciated!!

go to econolight and get the 25 dollar 150 watt hps.. or like 6. that'll solve ur problem. and yes all you need is 25

can you hook up a link to those 150 watt hps? having trouble finding them.

U turn lovin that ava... love that nigga in weeds. only one about his botany skillz...... here is a link to my 150W Sun System® HPS 150 Grow Light Fixture from Growco Indoor Garden Supply


and a 40W CFL should be good for the first 2-3 weeks...... they put off 5,000 lumens.... get a red and a blue. and you could go all the way through if you really wanted too....... with one plant. hehe

Unfortunately the $20 and $25 HPS lights aren't in stock anymore. Call me paranoid but once people started buying tons of them the site took them away and put up a red "CONSULT US BEFORE BUYING" sign. Either we killed his entire stock or he doesn't take kindly to our kind... lol. (south park reference) I was just about to get one too.

Now back to topic at hand!! Thanks

so i have been reading around and i found out that purple stems growing are bad (read that i t means its low on nutes) can anyone varify this for me. and if you look at the last pic it shows the purple stem. is this bad??

hahaha!! WTF is that? You cant be serious. That plant is 7-10 days old dude! Why do some people even bother...
