hello all great site. my problem is that i have two females in a cuboard on 12/12 they have been on that for 5 weeks and are doing great they were only baggy seed and are only under flo tubes so didnt expect much but all is well. so i thought as u do if i can do this with these why not get some good seeds.so i did got some skunk no1 seeds germanated 5 and to my joy 5 came up.all well so far,now they are on the window sill thay are about 7-8 days old they are very spindaly i have put them in big pots 30 cm and poted them deeper but they still seem to be weak am i doing anything wrong or am i just worring.ps i have just got a 400watt hps awaiting delivery.when i get this,it will b going over my 2 girls and the flo tubes over the 5 babys till thay get biger hopfully by the time the two girls are ready 4 harvist the babys will b big enough to go under the 400 thats if they r still alive so any advise would b great thanks colin

hi colin sounds like there not geting enough light mate . 30 cm pots are a bit big for the age of them as well .put them under the floresents for lights on then put them back on window sill before lights go off

Yip as Kali said. Smaller pots and then pot up I go from 1inch to 3inch - 6", let them get a nice root ball and then pot on

Sounds like to big a pot for week old seeds.

haveb you any extraction in your cupboard Youll need it for a 400w

yea mate,watch that 400 watts in a little drobe,they kick out a fair bit of heat.
and maybe try a fan blowing on them,i'm no expert but a little breeze mite strengthen your stem's - that should also thicken them up.
maybe someone could varify this as i'm new to it myself.? good luck buddy
