I used the CFL's for quite a while.....about a week ago I went to the 75 watt warm white and made sure it wasn't too close to her. I have no idea what the lumens are. But the growing space is roughly 23" x 8'

She started out in the same MG that I transplanted her into. What do you think about the orange 25 watt orange light? Good? Bad? OR won't help at all?


P.S. Check out my avatar for pic. If you need another view, let me know.

Wait, are you saying you took out a compact fluorescent bulb and put in a 75 watt standard household warm white bulb??

If so, we just found your problem. If not, can you please explain just what type of bulbs you are using? We need a little more info to help.
 
:rofl: OH my head hurts!:rofl: :rofl: I"M confused and I'm not even stoned:rofl: :rofl: I don't mean to laugh at anyone's misfortune but I am in tears :rofl: Someone please walk our poor friend through the steps for this so I don't die laughing at the confusion this is causing.:rofl: :rofl: I don't mean to offend anyone but I'm laughing so hard I can barely type :doh: :rofl: Oh my head!!....Don't stress Gypsy, these peeps will get ya straight

Yes, I took out the CFL bulb and replaced it with the 75 watt household warm white bulb. I have switched back to the CFL today. So, I guess the household light was the mistake.
 
Gee Hush. Sorry I'm not as experienced as YOU. You really shouldn't pick on people who aren't as knowledge in this field such as YOURSELF. That was just plain rude.
 
You need much more light....much more! Adding one or two CFL's won't do what you need to do! I urge you to look for a HPS system or (yikes) enough CFL's to do the job...which will be several! Until you have adequate light, you're losing the battle!
 
Try to get a 150 w hps. Those are cheap and do not give that much heat.
 
I really want to suggest that you do some more reading/studying to understand what mj needs to grow. The Resource section is a good place to start. Also check out the Stickies at the top of each individual forum.

The first thing you need to correct is your lighting. You are going to need more and better light with the correct spectrum. I would suggest setting up a small space that is enclosed and has enough lumens. Run the lights 24/7. She will continue to put out those single leafed blades for a while and then go back into veg, developing normal leaves. You are going to want to let her veg for a month or so to get some size to her. If she is flowered now, you won't get more than a few grams as she is just so stunted and small with virtually no bud sites.

Get some ventilation in your space. You need an exhaust fan to remove old air and an oscillating fan to move the air around. What are you feeding her? What kind of soil mixture is she in? I would recommend starting several more seeds to veg along with her.

This is a hobby that takes some studying--there is far more to it than simply sticking a seed into dirt and putting it under a light bulb. The more you know about the biology of the plant and the environment that it likes, the better bud you can grow. And there is simply nothing like growing your own dank.
 
Well said.....I am merely a whiny pup at this myself, the buds I am growing make me very happy though! It's a great reward, but it takes a bit to get there! And a lot of reading, listening and trying!

I apologize for offending yu.:eek: I wasn't laughing at yu, just at how everyone got so confused. Everyone here is passionate about growing and each of us have our experiences (and ugly failures). But we are often very zealous about helping others who are just starting out and we end up tripping (in more ways than one :doh: ) over the details in the situation. The one thing yu will notice is that there is some variation in methods and opinions, and that is due to there being more than one viable method for growing, but all here want to see yu succeed at producing a satisfying crop (even me :D ). I am hardly an expert in this field and have far less experience than many who were extending yu a helping hand. I know from your perspective it can be frustrating as I have been there, but from my perspective the whole situation kind of looked like 5 ducks after one june bug:laugh: Again I apologize, and I wish yu good grow mojo;)

Good catch!!!! +rep

Usually it's the last thing you've you've done that is the cause of your problem, in this case, changing bulbs.

Way under lit though.
