Happens to the best of us brother but I think you are okThanks for the info and the tips! I’m trying to restrain myself, I didn’t know it would be this hard to do, lol. I’ll keep on truckin’ and will heed your advice no matter what parent brain is yelling lol
I have a blink camera on them so I can keep an eye out from work. I’ve gone a little nutty lol
Hey looking good man!! Keep it simple and warm and humid for the beginning of this grow stageGot my tent completely set up and started using the HLG 135 V2 on its lowest setting. There is virtually no heat coming off the light and I used some long wire to keep the driver outside the tent. i watered today, making sure to let all the excess water drain out before I put them back on the tray. I am starting to see the 3rd set of leaves and some of the stems are falling over. I used the dirt in the cups to kind of prop them up a little and am assuming that I will start training them soon. Im hoping having a better light spread will keep them from stretching any more at this point, but we will see. Temp was a little hot yesterday (up to 83) but I think once I run the duct up into the attic it will stay cooler. I kpet the closet door open today and it never got past 75. Cheers!
AgreeI would have the light 24" above for this stage
Hi, you can pick up real cheap humidifiers to help with your humidity issues. I bought mine at a Value village store ( discount/ used ) for $5-$8 Vicks brand. New they're only about double that. 1 of mine cool mists the other( the expensive one $8) heats the mists.That is so strange, my humidity has been around 45-50% the whole time and I have only watered a couple of times and made sure that my tray was dry...I was trying to get my humidity over 50% and was having trouble lol
Thanks, I will raise my light and get some stuff to spray. I have the light set on its lowest setting (I believe it is 60 watts but I won't know for sure until I get the watt meter). Glad you guys spotted that.
Hi, nice little grow you've got going. You're doing fine for a first-timer. You're receiving a lot of good advice from lots of knowledgeable, veteran growers so here's my 2 cents:
CFL lightning isn't very intense, and your stems are stretching trying to get closer to it. You're going to need a higher-powered light source, because it's not really good to keep burying the stems deeper and deeper.
Lastly, try to resist the urge to over-love them. Let them dry out fairly well between waterings. Overfeeding them with nutes can cause a myriad of issues (pH, absorbtion / lockout, leaf burn, etc) so take it easy. I usually go half-strength of what the label says to use, and since you're using Fox Farms soil which is already nutrient-rich, you should be careful.
I'm gonna follow this journey with you, can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm wishing you all the luck for some girls, and then we'll see if we can't help you get some big fat buds!
Sound plan broI've moved the HGL up to 24" and sprayed them down with a NEEM spray. I had put some wet towels to hang in the tent after reading that it would help bring up the humidity and maybe that is where the mildew came from. Needless to say, I wont be doing that again. I am going to get thinking of getting a humidifier but I'm also concerned that may cause the same problem? I'm keeping it nice and dry for the next week while I apply the Neem nonetheless. I appreciate the help I'm getting here, thanks.
Cheers!
