1st time grower, seed problems?

[Budw3is3r]

I think your under LED??? Your leaf temps are very like about 5F cooler so that chart may not be accurate

Absolutely @Aqua Man , without an infrared temperature gauge I'm assuming the leaf temperature to be -2°c against the room temperature.

Yes, running the Migro 600's LED.

Typically 2F would be more in line with a HPS or something with a bit more infrared. 5-8f is more typical for LED. I would hazard a guess pretty dam close to 5F difference.

When the plants are 2 weeks before going into flower room take cuttings off your own bro is the norm for continuous cycle.you will soon learn what the strain you have growing now likes..

Thanks @Madmax trouble is I don't really want to have two rooms on the go and foot the additional expense for the equipment and the headache of electricity, ventilation etc. Although I might have to!

Ideally I'd just have an areoponic cloning station like the below (then take the cuttings during flower so that when I havest in the room I replace with these):

Aeroponic Propagation Kits

Aeroponic Propagation Kits Get Explosive Roots in Record Time with Our Aeroponic Propagation Kits These kits will help you to take cuttings from your mother plant and quickly transform them into well rooted clones. Aeroponics is the most advanced method

I could be pissing in the wind with this idea, thats why I'm putting out there

You dont wanna clone in flower IMO

I think you would b pleasantly suprised mate on just how little on the electricity side and expenditure you could get your clones up and running with..they need buggerall light first couple weeks until you use a bigger light...ive been reading reading reading on this site and what old fellas are telling me i cant wait to get a grow going soon.im missing out on all the fun..who says an old dog cant learn new tricks

I'll be researching for a temperature gauge tonight. Might actually work in my favour @Aqua Man .

If I made a clone area / small room...

Specifically just for clones taken from the veg stage to be taken from.. to grow up until they get put into the areoponic system and start proper veg... how long do you think I can hold them in that state? It would need to be at least 8 weeks for the flower room to be empty?

Or... I just have a mother plant in a tent (small tent setup) and take clones whenever I see fit and not worry about holding clones until I have an empty room?

Not 8 weeks.

Get a small light soil and if it get to big just take a couple clones and pitch it. Do this as many times as needed if your tight on space.

I think you are right.

Would I still need an exhaust fan?

The need fresh air but under low light the demand is lower because less transpiration

 

[Budw3is3r]

Quick update after main-lining, growth seems to have slowed.

Strange one today, still training the girls and noticed that the leaves look like they have been hit with some heat stress and slight discolouration?

Ph and how much is it changing in a day?

Ph and how much is it changing in a day?

This was just taken, going to adjust to get it sitting between 5.5 and 6.5.

First time adjusting the PH levels.

Bud

 

[Budw3is3r]

That's better.

I put PH down in and lowered it too much, had to use PH up slightly to correct.

Don't want to be pissing about like this again, smaller quantities next time otherwise I'll get nutrient lock-out.

Bud

 

[Madmax]

@Aqua Man Hey bro...any truth in when you use ph up or down is it advisable to wait say 10 -20 mis to stabilize for a more a correct reading,,also.does using too much up down affect the amount of nutrients your giving to the plants to keep to the required ec ...hope that made sence lol..

I'll have another gander on the Ph later on.

Yeah adding up and down can throw nutrient ratios out. Its advisable to only add whats needed. Typically UP will add potassium and DOWN will add Phosphorus or sulfur depending on source.

Ph moved slightly.

I change the tank tomorrow and go into the new week.
