Those seedlings are stretching too much. You need to put the light closer to them. I'm guessing you're using fluorescents, if you are then dont be afraid to put them an inch or so away from the plants.
If it doesn't burn your hand, it won't burn your plants.

I'm restarting that with more lamps, reverse the fan, and put a new planter with ONE plant in it, and a 'lid' on top to help stop the mites.
Outdoor grow of a friend of mine.

Took us 4 hours. Here's my share. :v: [IMG]http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/710/dsc01108o.jpg[/IMG] I'll post more pics as soon as I get them.
I've restarted my grow. [img]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/1854/image153a.jpg[/img] So the metal box in the corner is my fan, blowing upwards, the pot in the middle has a poison lining on the side to stop the mites from getting in [it's the green stuff if you haven't noticed...], and as you can see i've doubled the lighting [got some electrical experience from doing that] and lowered it for comfort. I pray that this grow works out :ohdear:
How many lumens are those bulbs giving you? To be honest, it just doesn't seem to be enough light. You'll want to lower them even more.
sorry monkeyman .. i can't get you those seeds :( .. i dont really hang around that guy anymore ..if you still want some seeds, theres a list of legit seedsbank here [url]http://forum.grasscity.com/seed-banks/323640-current-legit-seed-banks.html#post3734567[/url]
No big deal, pal. Thanks anyway.
[QUOTE=MonkeyMan44;17406588]How many lumens are those bulbs giving you? To be honest, it just doesn't seem to be enough light. You'll want to lower them even more.[/QUOTE] The 15watt puts out 850 lumens, and the 12 watt outputs 650. Totals to 1500 lumens... that [i]is[/i] enough right?
You want around 5000 lumens per square feet. So, no. It's not nearly enough.
Damn. When i open the box it's as bright as day, so i don't think it will make the plants stretch too much. If i could find my other 15watt bulb it'd help... Maybe replace both, because a new 15watt is supposed to output 900 lumens, but the ones i have are a bit old.
Just because it looks bright for [b]you[/b] doesn't mean it's emitting enough energy for the [b]plant[/b].
Looking like it emits alot of energy =/= emits alot of energy.

Yeah and I have to admit, as my experience grew, my plants shrinked. My latest grow was the tallest, but my first one was the fattest. Looks like I have to grab the ghetto set up again for the next grow.

Just splash out on some decent lights, you'll wonder why you even bothered afterwards.
Me and my friend found some seeds. [IMG]http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/2133/29040826.jpg[/IMG] Just two of them worked, and I have no idea what strain it is. We found seeds in the weed we bought. It´s probably some low quality shit or something, we grow it just for fun. I just got a 20W and a 5W lamp, how long can I use that? I just taking care of the plants until my friend is back from his vacation, one or two weeks.

You want atleast 100 watts for a full sized plant, if you want decent results that is.
Ok, but I just going to have them like 10-15 days.
ok, i'm placing an order for more light sockets. But light isnt my problem... Those mite fuckers have moved in again, and are raping my tiny seedling! If anyone knows about them, let me know. The mites i have to deal with are tiny (0.5mm in size) and white/yellow/cream coloured. They are flightless, and live in and on the soil, and climb all over the plant. I can't seem to kill the fuckers, they are very nearly invincible, nothing i've tried seems to kill them! Anyone got ideas on how to eliminate them?
I bought some weed that was jacked from near a town a ways away from here. Its really chronic and fresh and sticky, its out of about 15 pounds I guess.

Just a question, how much are you guys paying in electricity bills for your bulbs? Say a small grow op, one or two plants.

You best believe if I lived in those apartments near you Id be jacking those bitches

:O
Harvested my girl, but I'm sick as a dog. :( Bought some nice airtight glass jars though. Perfect to keep my buds fresh. :c00l:
