Ok, I've had great results with using a dome until the leaves are touching the container. They still get airflow but humidity stays a little higher a little longer... (or) raise the humidity in the tent for a while....maybe 70% or so...? That's what I give mine. But everyone's (strain/grow room/setup) are different. IMO, they are not in veg yet and seedlings require higher RH in the 70-80 range. Is that Correct? Just tryin to help...
I had the light very high. I lowered it when I saw they were stretching. it's 3 feet from the canopy.
seedlings stretch for other reasons than light distance.. like too warm a root zone and a hot ambient temp can make them stretch., so watch lowering your light on those babies
Thanks my friend.
I thought about using the domes. But I had 6 seedlings dampen off the last time I used domes. And they were Barney's Farm that I paid good money for...
I feel ya as you have to really go by your own experience. I have done both, the dome helps when I cant put them in the tent at the needed humidity. If the tent is open and can accommodate the higher humidity then I put them in without the dome. It all comes down to what the plants need at the stage they are in. AND your previous experience with it. My own quote... "SO many variables" lol --- My current grow - Afgoo from Growers Choice. 4th Week in flower. These were domed. The Rh was raised to about 80% during this time as the Tent was in use for drying.
RO water kills my plants....There's nothing in it, the only nutes you have available to your plant are in the soil. multiple watering with RO depletes the available nutes in the soil & your plant......You need to add everything your plant needs to survive seeing as a lot of it has been stripped out using RO water........
Growing in coco not soil. I give em plenty of Grow nutrients and a lil Cal\mag. The ph was too high and not all of the nutrients were available. I think I got bunk bag of coco. I used canna coco bagged. And I used it right out of the bag. But it needed to be washed and buffered .
I know knot about coco other than it gives those that don't know how to use it troubles. I'm in promix and its a very simple water / feed/water/ feed from 3 weeks until the end. The first 3 weeks the soil has enough in it to sustain my plants.
c’mon sometimes things do get delayed but they’ll help when they can..
That sucks man, there's always next time. I'm nowhere near a precise enough gardener to even attempt coco, too finicky, and autos are also not forgiving and finicky. I like good old fashioned dirt. Currently doing my first auto and I too am not having a fantastic first experience with them. One got stuck and I had to manually remove the casing, so it got stunted obviously, the other was looking great then dropped balls at 3 weeks and I just sent him to the great weed field in the sky on Saturday. Can't win em all. My runt is looking ok now though, yours could make a comeback.
