Need more light. That’s why they are stretching so much.
I’ve struggled throughout my first grow attempt (seeds were germinated in paper towel, planted into HF soil alone on 4/20)
Began with a KingLED 1200 blurple light and switched to a Spider Farmer SF2000 a few weeks ago. Growing in 3 gal pots in a 2x4 tent. All Granddaddy Purple autos from ILGM.
Middle one was almost dead recently, possibly root bound among other initial issues. Had to transplant this auto almost 40 days in… no bueno… into a 7 gal pot with fresh soil. Been about 72 hours since transplant.
Other two are having no super issues, although stunted (again, growing basics, small pots, very cold temp issues very early in seedling/veg stage, lighting, water issues, etc).
They are doing alright with my dumb LST attempts and have entered flower.
I’m pretty proud of myself for my first time and always looking for more info!
All of your guys plant babies look fantastic by the way. A lot of you make me very jealous lol
@Nickknowsfunny is correct that lighting is an issue. How far are your lights from your plants? Is the light you now using suitable for how many plants you have? happy growing
Ok picks of the grow room in a few. I’m growing in a converted sauna. 4’x5’ it works great. Although I don’t recommend using a $5000 spa for a grow room. (Came with the house) Plants have a killer stereo.
Inside grow room. I’m running a HLG100rspec with a home built light.
150 samsung 10w LEDs. Pull 700wts at the plug. So I’m probably running equal to about 800 or 900wts of real light.
Just flipped. Late finishers got kicked out.
Kicked to finish in veg tent. Along with current girls clone, who gets moved to prop table for a few hours a day.
So another long day in the garden. Replaced allof the poly, ran new electric, so that all of my plugs are in the ceiling. I widened the aisle so I could put the ac on the ground,and insulated the exhaust from the ac. I lowered my tables 8 inches and raised the lights 4 inches, to get another foot for stretch. Just pretty excited about how everything looks.
Wasabi all. 1 month old. Except for the lil gmo that’s 1 week old. Pretty good looking plants if I say myself. Fingers crossed for a deficiency free grow
You missed some …
First time starting from seed, I usually grow outside with clones, finding the indoor a lot more work because of the initial set up but I love it! These are from the Baking & Sweet Mix packs, not having as much luck with the Blue Mix pack. Only 1 Blue Dream sprouted.
Can anyone help me start a grow journal? Plz & Thx!

@J.Gro if you hit the magnifier there should be a box under the search bar to start a new topic. Then select the appropriate options and you’re off to the races!
Newbie here. I have never grown pot before. It has become a true delight. Outdoor grow. Fabric bag grow containers. Planted Blue Dream Autos in the middle of March in some basic potting soil I had. They seem to be doing beautifully.
It is true…ILGM!
