hey so, hear me out, this is my first grow and i though none of the 2 seeds i bought had actually germinated, but i decided to plant them anyways. i ordered proper LED lights and materials to make a DIY carbon filter with exhaust fans (wish me luck) at the same time i ordered the seeds but the leds haven’t arrived yet: i needed to work with what i had. it looks janky and honestly dangerous but it’s what i could come up with for the time being. the bulb is led so it won’t fry the plant, soil is humid and watered as needed and i just installed what has arrived from the “diy carbon filter” - it’s just a fan. this is in NO WAY ideal but it’s what i have atp.
i didn’t expect this plant to develop, i’d kinda given up. the night previous to it surprisingly popping had been really really sad and difficult for me so i think this little lady popping up was a sort of “hey, you got me and i’m here”. i plan on taking care of her the best i can and i hope the rest of my equipment will get here soon. thank you if you’ve taken the time to read this, happy growings! 💚

i noticed my seedling has stretched a bit further than i’d like, especially in the first five or six days (probably due to insufficient light, i’ve upgraded it since). right now she’s sitting at 23cm from the light (9inches), is that a good distance, too far away or too close?
hi there mrsomething, you're better off now than you were, but you can get a bit closer like 6 to 8 inches max, it feels too close, but it's actually better that way. Hope this helps ! 🚀
Hi there, a couple of things to help:
I keep seedlings cand clones with just 24w of flu old T5.
If its a house common light bulb bring it to 2 or 3 cm from top of the plant, that Will work much better.
Other thing, start with the smallest pots possible, couse plant Will always stretch with this lights and for first week adding support is a must, then transplant them to slighter bigger pot and bury the plant up to first round leafs. This way they Will not bend or break with the heavier top!
Good luck!😉
This plant will contiue to stretch I can guarentee it the light is not the best for growth the plant will reach for the blue in the specturum making it go higher and higher full specturum led lights hung at the correct height can often eliminate this though growing with a bulb like this I would say anywhere between 20cm to 40cm. We all do the best with what we have though I fear this will not work my friend and if it does it certainly wont yield very much at all. Though I hope you prove me wrong :) Best of luck :) 👊
