A few pictures of your growing equipment would be helpful.i have had three plants one died at several centimeters and so i bought a 5w led and my plants made it to several inches. how can i get a plant farther a long than this?
That's too cold. 75 to 80 is better.my temperature is 65-70 and minimally stress for watering.
How much and how often do you water?did i not water enough?
Five watts is not enough. 100 watts is probably the bare minimum. It depends on your grow space. My lowest wattage light is 130 watts and it's in a 2x2 tent. In my other tents, the lowest wattage light I have are 240 watts.is my light not enough?
Mid 50% is good for the vegetation stage. I suggest reading about vapor pressure deficit VPD. If the humidity is too high, there's a risk of mold. If it's too low, the plants may not be able to transpire adequately.is the humidity?
Big topic. Get the growth factors dialed in and you won't have to worry (much) about stressing the plants.stress?
We need to know more about your equipment and practices. Do you have a tent? What other equipment do you have? It's easy to spend nontrivial money on this hobby.please anyone with experience help my skills to get the plants into the advanced stages of life.
True, but the OP's present concern is young plants, which are more sensitive to humidity.you can grow at 30% humidity it is not great or advised but it doent make the plant die.
looks like my second two plants failed to grow the leafs like you were sayingI have a 60w lamp works amazing even that 5w cfl could work for a few days but you have to put it 3mm away from the plant you can grow at 30% humidity it is not great or advised but it doent make the plant die. Maybe you watered too much small plants need a little bit of water like a shotglass a day...
If the light is weak plant will grow tall but wont make leafs it will just stretch
thanks love. im putting up 3 35w led redblues in a 6x2 closet with a internal loop fan for the humidity. its not set up yet. it will put out 450umol.We need to know more about your equipment and practices. Do you have a tent? What other equipment do you have? It's easy to spend nontrivial money on this hobby.
would you say its safe to put the 450 umol (300 per meter) over three 4sqfoot locations and add up to the amount or does it need to be directly in one spot?Get the ppfd meter app on the phone and check how much light you gave them
< 15,000 lux – sparse or “stretchy” growth – plant isn’t getting enough light
15,000 – 50,000 lux – a good amount of light for healthy vegetative growth
45,000 – 70,000 lux – the optimal amount of light for cannabis plants in the flowering (budding) stage. If grow lights produce a lot of UV light (such as LEC), stay on the lower side of this range
70,000 – 85,000 lux – a lot of light, some strains thrive at this light level, but some plants (especially auto-flowering and Indica strains) lose their top leaves early under this light intensity. At these levels, lights need to be kept further away for healthy growth
> 85,000 lux – at this light intensity, you’ve hit the plant’s “saturation point” which means your plant can’t use all the light (most strains will experience light bleaching or other major signs of stress at this level!)
Definitely need more light, that's why it's stretching so much.looks like my second two plants failed to grow the leafs like you were saying

You need a real grow light and then go from therelooks like my second two plants failed to grow the leafs like you were saying

I dont know those numbers umols maybe somebody else can help you.the app is free and has a lux modewould you say its safe to put the 450 umol (300 per meter) over three 4sqfoot locations and add up to the amount or does it need to be directly in one spot?
