Im a week in. Germed 3 seeds all 3 popped. Did them in 1" rock wool with 5.8 ph water and one drop superthrieve. Put under 600w mh at 75% 18" tonight. 1/4 strength 3 part blue planet nutes. Started under T5 8 bulb. While 600 was on its way. Knew i had a a few days to kill. Using ultra coir grow med. Hope that was a good choice!?? The diesel is still in cup she is lagging behind aj and kw. Their roots was already running out their cups bottom. Did a horrible job transplanting, soil alittle wet kinda crumbled in my hand. Hope they are ok!?

Well dont think diesel liked the 1/4 feed. AJ and KW loved it. Doubled their leaf size. Working on vent system 81 on temp 66 off. Want 75 on 68 off. Keeping humidity about 60% for now. My mh keeps turning off. Think i got a bulb going out!?? I was messing with tent at the time maybe just the movement. Not my luck. Not sure if you can see in pick diesel has a greyish tint to leaves should i be worrried?? Or just a side affect from feed? I also dropped light down to 16" AJ and KW already alittle streachy from T5. Hope that will help. Any advise would be awesome. Trying to not over think/worry but its my first grow maybe you remember :). Oh i also have aspergers so thats what i do:happy::happy:

Diesels 2 true leafs are purple. Good bad normal??

So not my bulb. Was the way ballest was hanging. Outlet side was down. So was falling out but not on floor. Awesome. Easy fix. Also put 1 6" intake on timer same as light. Other stays on 24. See if that keeps off temps alittle higher. Problem is will put tent on vacuum intead of positive pressure.

Over the years i've gotten more patient in the garden, and I think it's help. As for fun, it's always good to try to have fun!

A few pics today. AJ and KW putting 3rd leafs on. But first leaf has a ripple to it. Is that heat or what?? You can kinda see in pics. Diesel looking alittle yellow with a grey tint?? Any ideas?

Got new humidifier in. Honeywell 9 gallon adjustable quiet cool. Got that set up and working on dialing in 60%. Swapped some 4" duct over to 6". 6" fan didnt like 4" duct. Way better air flow. Able to crank up exhaust fan about 20-25% higher. Its set at about 70% now. May be able to go 80%. And still keep positive pressure.

So dropping one fan during off hours pulled my temp to 68. Got that going for me. Lol.

So geting humidity dialed is the plan for today. Hope everyone is enjoying their saturday

 

[neewb432]

Maybe found answer to grey diesel. PM. Ordered some actinovate and actino iron. Will keep ya posted

 

[neewb432]

The new 6" duct keeping my on temp about 77. Sweet, 77 on. 68 off. Lets see if i can keep it that way

Apple jack needing some water today. Killa looking pretty. Diesel still not sure. For sure gonna transplant her today and a good watering.

 

[neewb432]

Transplanted diesel to her 7 gal pot. Gave everyone a 20% feed. Cranked up to 600w and dropped light to 14". Been able to keep RH at a constant 60% with new humidifier.

 

[neewb432]

Made a noob mistake. 9 gal humidifier will run out of water. Had my tent all sorts of off. 34 rh 91 deg. But on another note. Kw and Aj love the blue planet nutes. Was a little tip yellow after first 25% feed so i dialed back to 20 and they blew up. Got the rh back up to 60 and the temp back to 80. The girls seemed to actual like the mess up. We will see tomorrow. The diesel is a diff story nobody on the farm seems to know whats wrong with her. She did stretch about half an inch from the feed so we will see how she does. Also picked light back up to 18". Hope every ones Monday was a good one.
