Get a few of these:  They are 3500K color temp which is red and blue together... 30 Actual Watts... 2000 Lumens (At the Home Depot)



Then some of these: Y Sockets



And some of these: Light Bulb Socket



Get an extension cord and cut the end off and wire it to the sockets (like in his photo demonstration)

Or just take your 150 dollars and get one of these, you'll be happier in the end and a 150 won't put off too much heat, or if you have bigger balls 250 is what I would start at...You Want This HERE!!!

the fact that hes doing it in an open room he could use a 1000w and not worry about the heat :crazy2:

unless you meant heat like the fuzz. if youre paranoid about the fuzz on you, stick with the lower watage hps like 400 or less :lol:

thanks for the real pics inverted :thumbup:

no, what i meant is that it's not getting enough light.  There's a ton of stretch and almost no new growth on the top.  The leaves don't look to healthy either.

well i bought rooting hormones and i put it all over the plant and it got on the leaves, which is what those white stains are from.

Maybe I should get a different grow light, will that screw up the plant? it's already been in for 2 weeks now

why would you cover your plant with rooting hormone?  Rooting hormone is used for cuttings, you dip the stem in it.  If you're talking about a b-1 supplement for root growth, that should be added to water and fed to the plant that way.

it won't screw up the plant, it'll make it better.  Before you go wasting money on crappy equipment, research first or ask a question on whether or not the light is suitable.  For example, don't go to wal mart and buy one of their 2 ft fluro "grow lights", they sound like they would work but they don't put out nearly enough light as other solutions.

I followed the directions on the bottle when I applied it. It said that I shouldn't worry if I put a lot on.

As for the Light, I am still sick at home, but when I get better I will look into that. Any Cheap good ones I can find at a local store you may know off hand? CFL's or only for flowering right?

cfls can be used for veg and flower.

theres different lumens.

and the rooting hormone, you just put it on the stem right?

like dipped the cut end into the bottle?

you didnt wipe it all over the "plant" like you say leaves and all right?

Now your avatar makes me smile instead of creeping me out. :grin:

Take a picture of the bulb you are using, describe the bulb if you can't take a picture easily. If its a usable type of light you probably just have the light too far away as one florescent would be enough for a little sprout like that at the moment.  How close is your light to the top of the plant?  It should just be a few inches if its a florescent.

well when i bought it[the clone], it was in this square shapped thing with roots already coming out of it, i asked growery if i can dip the end in the hormones and plant it in the soil with the block, and someone said it was fine, is this wrong?

And i didn't purposely get it on the leaves no. That was an accident. So that was just a little.

I moved it closer, but it was the most generic grow plant target had, i'm sure the problem is the type of light. Although it gets sun during its day cycle, does that help at all?
