Hey everyone!
So recently I have just started my first indoor grow. I decided to let her grow in a closet area i have made. So i started with 1 measly light: CFL 2700k 1760Lumens 26w.. i was doing proper cycles with that one bulb and she ended up looking like this: after a week! the cfl was about an inch away from the seedling. unfortunately im pretty sure im not getting the light i need. as of this morning i checked and the plant appears wilted and just plain sad.... i jumped up, put another one of the same lights and then a fan to blow around in the closet, hopefully i will see her perk right up! ..... If someone could give some explanation , or point me to a forum post which has the answer thatd be awesome and greatly appreciated!
what CFL should i really be using for my seedling ( 1.5 weeks old ), and the rest of veg? what Kelvin, what lumens, and what wattage? This is a budget grow, so whatever decent cheap lights will work, i will use!
heres my grow:
Soon it will all be put into a convenient grow cabinet or 30-50 gallon storage box with built in fans etc.
thanks guys and gals!
