    Default I FUCKED UP BIG TIME. Help! Pics attached

    So here's the deal, to make a long story short i had some bag seed laying around mid July and i decided to start to grow it, i did okay at first, decent soil, good lighting out in the sun since they were only seedlings and only noticeable to other growers/smokers they did fine in germination until it was time to veg in the closet. i didnt have proper lighting..didnt know how to manage my soil..underwatering and over watering...alot of stress on my plants,you get the picture, big noob(Still am) and i kind of got frustrated and just said id maintain them until i could get better lights,well here we are at the beginning Of September, they have alot of stretching but theyve been maintaining, the soil is decent, dry on the top right now, but its organic soil with a bit of pertile and sand and i add in nitrogen nutes from watering to watering

    however, they are stretched like hell, and since i didnt know how to place my lighting its growing in other places, not in some,and its sort of dry in the room

    just today ive introduced a much better fan, 3x 200 w(only two plants) cfl, a 20/4 lighting schedule and i plan to buy a couple more lights once i flower..if i do
    i actually have some money laying around so i can do it right..but id rather not spend too much. might even spring for MH for flowering.all advice is considered but please dont bust my balls :S even though i deserve it.

    doesnt look to shabby from the pics mate, seen worse
    what spectrum bulb do you have?
    isit actuallt 200watts or does it say "200watt equivalant"?


    pics aint the best though, what problems are you having apart from stretch, if any?
    stretch could be wrong spectrum of light, wouldnt say it temp fluctuationn as youve got em on 24/0
    they dont look nutrient hungry, but the droop could be them asking for a watering aslong as they arent being over watered (the effects can look similar) stick your finger in the soil a few inches, isit moist?
    how long do you wanna veg em for?

    Stay Close to the soil, its good for the soul.

    They look very droopy, you have been either under watering or over watering. Cant seen nitrogen claw, maybe my eyes are shit.....or the pics. Let the soil dry out until the pots are light then just plain water until you get a little run off then feel the weight of the pots and water/feed only when they are light again. To counter the stretch you can use a little light LST to start with, slowly bending them a little, there is a sticky in the advanced grow techniques part of the forum. You might also want to repot them into larger pots and get yourself a red spec (HPS) light for flowering, NOT MH.

    I think going into a bigger pot and new compost added with perlite will sort them out..

    @tom starving?

    @poet (also dyno but mostly poet) ill probably end up flushing ,with the whole lighting situation psy, im putting out 2800 lumens it says and yes it is the 200 EQUIV

    for the watering situation, atfirst i got slack on the watering and they were drying out so i watered them, then 3 days later i watered em so i guess i went a little overboard with the watering

    and before i do lst do i want to bury the stems down to the last leaf/node?

    Thats not a lot of light to have on them, mostly why they are stretching I would say, get a 250W CFL in there.
