Sorry robbo could you expand on that, don't know what it is you are talking about buying. Looked up the plant n grow on amazon but all I'm getting is foods for the plant, soils and lights which I have already.

Thanks but the one thing with amazon is that it won't deliver to my area. I'm going to try eBay for one there now.. great news too my first 2 food leaves are showing 4 days in .
Just look up hydroponic timers pal there will be loads knocking about

Quick question for anyone who may have the answer.
Should I move my light closer to the plant or is this normal? It appears to be stretching to me but I'm not sure if this is how this strain should start. You can't really see in the pic but the stem is just under an inch long about 2cm keeping in mind this just surfaced yesterday.

Here's a better pic. The ruler is measured in mm.

This is what I do...
Put my hand under the light the distance I'm thinking the plant should be from the light
If the back of my hand gets too hot within 30 seconds
Then that is too close if not then the plant will be fine
Make sense?

Yeah I've sorted it out now. I have it 5.5/6 inch away from the top of the seedling.

Now that it's surfaced il be switching lights off at 5:00a.m and back on at 01:00p.m 16/8 light cycle and I was thinking for flowering I might switch up to 20/4 what you guys think would that be a good or bad idea?

Would it be a good idea in terms of yield though? When it's flowering I was thinking of giving it more light so that they could grow nice and big. Or should it be ok to just use 16/8 throughout?

dont change the light keep 18/6 the gain from 20/4 wouldnt pay for the extra electricity bill ... thats my opinion atleast
anyway ... ill hang around abit

Welcome on board.
I was running a 300watt led light but the power was cutting out. Then because I had the grow started I couldn't wait for a new one so a friend gave me a light he had at his place (fast fix) led also but only 10watts so electricity isn't a problem for the extra light for flowering if it would be a good idea.
10watt ... your cfl probably has more ... i dont know did the 300w had like veg and bloom settings ?
i had a situation where a electric heater was pulling to much power for my breakers combined with full agro led setting ... it helped by running just veg and heater... luckily i didnt had to run the heater for long ... and i had an auto plant as she spent a few times in the dark when the circuitbreakers jump when nobody home ....
your lights is 70% of your yield

That's what's happening to me when I'm out the electricity is cutting out. I have no cfls just led first one the 300watt was full spectrum, this one is too but It's only 10watt, hence the reason I though I should lower it as I though the plant was stretching too it for more energy.

You need to split the usage to different circuits
Too much draw on one circuit
I use 4 different circuits , lights, heat & fans, AC, extractor
My room is 5'X7'
