New To This But Loving It

[brazel]

Cmon man lol. Had to post this. Coco coir clones under only 2×45w CFLs and lots of room for potential. They're on a 16/8 light schedule and IMO they're doing superbly but I'm not stepping out any boundaries here.

Yeah they good but like me @heisenbubble and others have said, it's best not to use a fixed fixture like that. Home depot shop lights with reflector and squeeze clamp or flexible desk lamp would be better so you can get up in there and hit it from different angles.

That's good. I was taught to keep the cfls away while I was using a whole boat load at once. And I mean awaaaaaaay(like 1-2ft.) while young plants are starting to take root. But I never kept the lights that far away ever. I mean... they're cfls lol.

But apparently, sprouts don't need much to get their roots going. Just keep the heat off them anyway you can.

And to due credit. These were set to flower under a LED in my tent but its occupied(bad planning) so I have no choice but to complete the grow where they sit. I recently added two more 32w bulbs and I will keep adding more :) GL with yours fellow CFL user.

Your lights are too far, see the stretch in them. Put them close close close use an oscillating fan between to talk to your plants and your lights to dissipate the Heat. that much stretch is not ideal with cfl

You're gonna have to tell me everything, age since sprouted, what grow media, what are you feeding them, how much and often? How far are your lights?

Go to the grocery store and buy a couple fresh coconuts raw out of the produce section if you can't find those then get a bottle of coconut water and make sure it's not from concentrate and feed them that

[brazel]

You used coconut water? Get some kelp meal. What size pots and how much you watering? Focus on new growth. Middle and bottom pic, tips are turning yellow.
Lots of possible reasons. What's your ph?
What kind of lights and watts?
Not dry not drenched, moist is what you want.

Will do tomorrow! Some people say to use some molasses, what do you think?

 

[brazel]

Ask them why do I want to use molasses?
In fact when anyone suggests you use something, ask them why.
If the answer is something like... my plants love it, the buds got way huge, the plant took off like a rocket... etc. Then just enjoi the conversation but don't follow.
I'm sure some of them did notice those things, but for the most part it's just a coincidence.

Pay attention to the answers that come with more info like why are my lower buds smaller than my top buds is it cuz the light? That's basic... look for the one that says apical dominance is responsible for that, auxin is a growth hormone that grows in the tips of branches that only flows through the stems downwards and it prevents sugars from going into a lower buds so it can keep apical dominance.
Auxin is responsible, not by itself though it'll prevent too much sugars from going into the tips and there's also cytokinin. The balance between cytokinin and auxin dictates it's Behavior more cytokinin then auxin Bud growth more auxin in cytokinin root growth.
