Oh ok...How far is the light away from the plants? You may need to move them closer? A pic of your set up would help.,,,,:cheer:

the lights are about 20 centimeter away from the plants atm ...
 
queen and warrior , you guys think i should do 12/12 from seed or 24 untill i want to make them flower ? i realy need help with this , im not very worried at this moment with the fact there is no signs of life atm , i planted both the seeds very soon , the roots on them where still prety small , but i belive there is no problem with that , it will just take a little longer untill i they pop out of the dirt :) (i hope lol)
 
From your pics, your lights are above? I would try to bring them closer. Anyway you can be creative and do that? How you want to do your time is completely up to you. I don't feel anyone can tell you which one to use only how using it benefitted them. Know what I mean?

I have only used 12/12 when it comes to flowering. I veg mine 18/6 and in my first grow I did 16/8...I may try it one day. I just can't afford to have the lights running 24/0. Also, no one knows your schedule like you do, your daily routine.

I doubt you will get 25 grams out of these, with your lights.

You are intending on keeping these small anyway, so even if all three are female, which the odds are against, you shouldn't get very much out of these in the finished product.

I'm taking it that's 25 grams total for all your plants? If they are all 3 fem., you may just get that much but the odds are very much against that being the case.

Like I said before, 3 out of 3 being female? slim chance at best...you should be fine bro...cool?



Remember; more light=more bud production

warrior i only have 2 plants atm , the rest of the seeds are still stored for latter use , there is NO WAY i can keep 3 plants healthy in such a small box as mine , so probly i will have 1 male and 1 female , so i realy doubt i can get 25 grams of just one plant with just 60w cfl light :) wort case scenario i kill one or 2 of the buds and done , problem solved ^^ i could have 50000 plants in a giant weed farm ... but i prefere to keep it as legal as possible , but still here in my country growing marijuana is not well seen , so im gona keep it to myself ... :420: :love:

i was here at home watching weeds (yeah i love that tv show weeds , thats what first raised my love for this plants) and thinking ... since i first started germinating my first seed 8 days have passed , so i belive it takes like 8 days untill a plant burst out of the ground (the usual 4 days in the dirt + 4 days germinating) sooo , if im right about this , i should have somthing anytyme soon ! can some one tell me if im right about this ? :p

Sorry girl, just been reading some news posts and doing some research. Doing some favors for friends...you know me? I love to help...LOL


K? Did your plants pop up yet? Is the soil cool when you put your finger in it? Take a tooth pick and very gently flake the soil back a little at a time and see if you can see a little white root down in their...I have done this myself many times to see if it's dead or just being slow about popping.

Let us know what you find. if you find the seed has not taken root, it is not working at this point.

You should water them a little if you do find a root tho, I like to use a spray bottle for this because you can wash the soil back down easy with a gentle spray.

We will keep our fingers crossed until you get back to us...ok? :goodluck:

What kinds of hardware stores do you have close to you? You need to look into a clip-on style work light and a dual or "Y" socket for your bulbs so you can move them anywhere you need to easily.

If you have a home depot or any kind of home improvement store you can find those Y sockets and that clip on style work light in the same area as the extension cords and wiring, usually.

It's kinda hard to know what your dealing with in your country because here in the US, we have so many of these stores and I'm not sure what it's like where you live...I'd love to visit sometime but I have never been their as of yet...so, IDK?
 
well warrior , i will check for root signals with a toothpick in about 1 houor from now (when the lights turn on ) as for the Y socket im realy trying to find one , but there are no such things as hardware stores here in my contry , we have some stores that sell light only related products , they probly have those sockets there , i will buy one as soon as i can :) in the meanwhile i will have to stick with this poor setup , in about 1/2 weeks my improved grow box (55cm x 55cm x 55cm ) should be redy :) so when i set her up i will try to improve my light's system (to be able to move the lights) sooo lets keep our fingers crosed for my tooth pick inspection 1 houor from now ... i will try to take a picture .... i dont promisse anything , i dont want to risk the health of my baby ;)

im sory for the realy BAAD quality ... but my camera sucks big time , specialy at close ranges ... but i think i have some good news , the head of the seed looks green (no traces of the seed shell found ) and the root is prety green too with a little white if i remember correctly , the root is about 2 times the size o the head at the moment , no ramifications found , ( i hope i didnt riped some of them out ) im glad i this is inspection warrior ... the seed was waaay to buried on the dirt ! like 2 inches below the surace , now i placed the seed about half an ich under the dirt and whatered it to make the dirt settle down :) let me know what you guys think :) im in debt with you warrior :love::Namaste:
