Any suggestions? Cheap mans grow

Okay so i have 3 bag seeds sprouted. 2 died. I still need a fan and a ph meter amd all that stuff but this specific plant popped out on 02/13/22. Its in mg only cause its a cheap man grow rn. Now right before this one popped up. My other plnt that was the tallest and biggest. When i woke up it had fell on itself. Tried to bring it back but no luck. The light i have on it was given to me but its still not a very good light. The temp usually stays between 67-71 degrees. No idea about humidity. Its under two 2 foot 12 w led. I didnt have a clue to hang it so i just read around but now im starting to think i need to move it closer. Please help.
My problem is that growth seems to be very slow. Very few signs of new growth but ive been working with it.

Any advice would be appreciated. Honestly just waiting for taxes to come then i want to get everything official.

Welcome to the community. I would definitely move light closer, they are starving for light. You will definitely want to upgrade light asap. Lots to choose from. Hlg is a great choice but there are other’s that will work. Great knowledge here to help you through, this just got to be patient.

How close should i move the light?

Also that seed that is mutated. Does it look like ot will survive? Sorry for the basic questions

From what the light looks like, I would put it about 6in and if they keep stretching maybe a little closer, but watch them, they shouldn’t burn.

As long as it’s green it has a chance, don’t give up.

Agreed 6 inches sounds about right , if you re using tap water put a teaspoon of any vinegar into the gallon thatd at least get you close to the right acidity for marijuana . After you get a lil money definitely upgrade light, get a apera ph pen , coco coir, and 5-7 gallon fabric pots ( and transplant extra deep for stability sake)

Yeah , the light is 12 watts basically to start seedlings. Hands down the cheapest way to grow weed if you can find a good spot is outside. Good luck :+1:

You might want to look into so soil, like fox farm happy frog. Won’t have to worry about feeding for a few week’s.
As I missed in the photo you have 2 in the same pot, not recommended as 1 will probably starve the other one out.
Yes a apera ph pen is a good recommendation.
Also a cheap ppm meter is nice to have as well.

So if you can carefully transplant the small one asap, and see see if it makes it.

Not sure what the plan is for a room, but they have lots of tent kits on Amazon, I’m hoping someone can guide you with a good selection here.

Good luck and happy growing.

Thank you all really. I woke up this morning and moved my light about 6 inches away from the plants. I do plan on taking the mutated one out. It honestly was one i didnt think would grow. It was kinda light colored seed. So me being high i threw it in the soil and it sprouted but with the helmet head problem so i put a little water on it and worked it off with a pair of tweezers. I just wanted to make it stronger before I transplanted it. Also. If i have two lights that are connected together each light is 12w so would that make it a total of 24w? Curious

Ya I wouldn’t buy into any of the posted wattage from retailers. Download the photone app on your phone and keep the numbers in the range below.

Yes but won’t get you much past seedling stage. Will need to upgrade asap.

Yeah with that light of have it like 6minches away from the sprouts 12 w is almost nothing lol. Any further than 6 to 10 inches they r gonna stretch bad. For flower r u planning on moving them outside or u wanna get a difffer re not light for flower time. pH is gonna be a must I was u til I got pH meter use distilled water til u can check pH of anything else distilled has no pH so it’ll take on what it’s poured into.

I plan on getting everything as soon as the irs stops bullshittin :joy: they seem to be loving the light now. Leaves are very natural green and are getting fat with new growth in the middle. My last grow i used a hps and auto seeds. In ffof using ff nutes as well and it cane out beautiful. But had to leave my shit in Florida :roll_eyes:

I’ve grown seedlings to veg using a50watt bulb. And i moved it daily outside for a few hours then back in. Once in flower though i just let it outside. This was back in the beginning when i had nothing but a seed and a dream. Haha.
I’ve seen plants grow in the same bucket but that looks a little too close for comfort. Move the light closer like 6 to 8 inch from em. Maybe consider a dome to help with warmth and humidity.
