Hey guys -
First timer here, from what I’ve read on the forums it looks like I have made a few of the common mistakes.
I started my seeds in paper towels, transferred to solos and from there into 1 Gal Pots. I think I was a bit pre-emptive in transferring from solo cups - but were here now!
When I transferred them I Used Coast of Maine Organic blend to fill the pots.
I believe the yellowing in the first set of leaves is from the hot soil? I also have a lot of LED for my 2x4 ( 7ft tall) tent so I’m also trying to avoid light burn.
I currently have my Optic 320H on about 20% light with a little bit more blue than red. Lux app on phone reading around 10k at plant height. Light approx 3 1/2 feet above plants. Running 24/0 in veg since I have No temp issues with the LED
Approx 2 weeks ago I germ’d these guys. (4 Runtz seeds)
Keeping temps between 70-80 MAX and RH holds between 50-60%
2 6” fans in each corner keeping a light breeze on the seedlings (both on low currently)
I have been watering when dry every 2-5 days with my Well water ( I live far outside of town and Tapped into a mountain spring. PH is just below 8. All I use is a sediment filter for my drinking water, so I figure I will also be ok feeding this to plants. )
Planning on some light LST to help increase yields on this first run- I’ve been debating if I should attempt Fimming/topping also but am leaning on just LST and a small amount of topping. Don’t want to screw things up!
Do you guys think I have this accurately diagnosed?
Hot soil & little too much light? Over next 2 weeks I should be slowing increasing my light output I think?
Thanks for any help or tips you guys may have! Really enjoying this experience thus far.
