Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

By the way there at day 6 :)

whats your medium? hydro or soil?

lower the light they are stretching for it so thats why they are so big and weak, get a circulating fan to strenghting them up too

First off, you chose two easy strains to grow for newbies so good job there. Lower the light a bit as jagle is correct- but make sure the blocks don't dry out. And make sure the fan "gently" blows the air around- this will cool the area under the light and strengthen the stem some too......

Thanks alot guys, I got told too lower the light gradualy thats only reason It's still off the plants by quite abit, I've lowered it now tho, what distance would you recomend? I have it at about 10cm away from the biggest plant, should I lower it even more?

Also I'm using hydro, feeding them a little water 3 times a day so they don't dry out. I havn't got an oscalating fan just yet, still buying some essentials, but I have a pc fan blowing fresh air pointed at them, will that do? Or will it dry them out too fast if it's pointed at them all the time? :)

Oh and i've been bending them a little to strengthen them up abit, is that ok for such young plants?

i wouldnt touch em yet...let em grow for a bit before u train em.and the fan u r using should be just fine. just watch the dryness of those rockwool cubes.

Alright, thanks for that! Is it a good idea to have the fan pointed at them all the time? It isn't very strong but im afraid they dry out?

 

[kes5480]

i use those 4 or 5 inch cubes sometimes and they wont dry out in a day ...my experience anyways. so u should be ok if u check em atleast once a day

 

[kes5480]

wat kind of light u using?

 

[Iheartweed]

Err a Lightweave T5, flourescents

 

[Iheartweed]

Hey guys, I've got a problem, well I think it is... on 2 of my rockwell cubes theres green on the top of them, is this normal? If not what do I do to fix it?

 

[jagle]

cover the rockwool with something reflective to stop the light getting at it, no light, no fungus, or mold can grow

 

[Iheartweed]

Found out what it was, it was algae, put some panda sheeting over the cubes to cutt off the light :) Thanks for the advice!

 

[Iheartweed]

Just wanted to post a pic to show my progress, let me know what you think! And how they're getting on :)

they are at around day 8

 

[Iheartweed]

Hey guys, just another quick question.

One of my plants leaves are starting to droop a little, and I'm not too sure what it is.
Is it maybe overwatering? I feed them 3 times a day, with around 5-6 hour intervals. But I water the rockwool cubes until they are really wet, mostly to get all old water out, to replace it with new water. Is this a good or not?

Thanks in advance :)
