25 day and 18-20 night im using a 24 watt t5 fluorescent 6500k jiffy hydro light
Any recomendations for lights ? Looking to stay on the cheaper side of thingsYeah 18c might show some signs of purpling. CAn bump the temps up to 26-27c day and 22c night and see if it helps. Not something I would be overly concerned about. I would suggest a much stronger light though
That depends on the number of plants and area of the grow spaceAny recomendations for lights ? Looking to stay on the cheaper side of things
If you wanna keep the cost down this is probably the way to do it the cheapest.It looks like you're watering around the stalk? How often do you do that?
Cannabis likes a thorough watering (with maybe 10% runoff). Then let it dry very well. Many people judge when to water by how light the container feels. It should be alarmingly light (but not so dry that the leaves wilt. If it reaches that point, they'll bounce back within 20 minutes of watering. But, you shouldn't do that in seedling or flower stages.).
That 6500k light probably isn't enough/balanced spectrum. You probably need a warm white too. (How many watts is it?). Is your CFL just hanging in the air (no reflector?). I just replied to someone else (<<link) about that sort of thing. And, another post (<<link) along the same topic (using LED lightbulbs). Those two will give you some ideas about how to use ordinary lightbulbs (cheap!) to get more/better light.
Yes iwater my seedlings around the stock and water again once the top dries. I read that this is a better.Way with seedlingIt looks like you're watering around the stalk? How often do you do that?

Any input on the ak 47 been growing since may 12 th and is a month into flower
It's 24watts.How many watts is the CFL? What is the space the plants take up?
As said previously, you should have some warmer light. Especially for a plant in flower. 6500k for flower isn't the right spectrum. I do one 5000k bulb to every three 2700k. (In veg I reverse that. 3 cool, 1 warm.).
Lack of light.Any input on the ak 47 been growing since may 12 th and is a month into flower
Ak 47 is using a 3300k 19 watt. Led and it hasmore then doubled in size in the last month thats the bigger plant in original post not the smaller plants they r using the t5 24 watt 6600k jiffy hydro grow lightLack of light.

Yes one tube 24 inches long for the auto séedlingsWhat kind of LED light is that? A photo of the entire grow space would be good. If it's a globeless lightbulb, that would cover about 1sq ft. (If it were me, I'd have maybe four 11-watt LED bulbs on it. That would be 1.5 to 2 sq ft. (I'd rather have more lower-watt bulbs for coverage. But, it's more work setting it up.).
Are you sure the T5 isn't T5HO? (both exist). How many tubes are in the fixture? How long are they? (It sounds like 1 tube, 24" long T5HO.).
Without knowing the space your plants take up (width x length), it's hard to say what you need.
