Hey I'm Sean. First time grower ( please be gentle).

So I purchased a grow tent kit from ebay, yes first mistake.

Once I germinated my seeds 3 QUICK ONE autoflower from Royal Queen Seeds via the wet towel method I planted them into some Canna Terra Pro. I quickly realised that the supplied LED light was junk. The seedlings were becoming long and stringy after about a weeks growth. So I purchased a new LED light from Amazon, this didn't turn up for a week so in the meantime I stuck my plants outside in the British Sun.

The new LED turned up and I set it up a Phlizon 1800 w, that draws 285 w from the wall. I scooped out my seedlings and dug down a little further into the medium and gently replanted them, so they would support themselves. I planted the germinated seeds on June 1st.

I then went on to mess the PH in the water. I PH'd the water then added my nutrients - yes I'm a dick head I know.

I seem to have small plants? I'm surprised they're alive to be honest. I also have some issue with some leaves ( photos below).

Any advice for me please? I've been using Biobizz grow, some CAL MAG, and one dosage of Biobizz bloom. I have also been using PH down. Half dosage on all. Light schedule is 18/6.

I bought a cheap PH meter from Amazon, so I'm not sure on how accurate its been. Around 6.5 after nutrients are added and left to stand for 24 hours in a watering can.

Do I need to buy an Aquarium pump to dissolve some oxygen into the water please?

How about CO2 bag in the tent? Is that really needed ( for my next grow maybe)

I've not been messing with PPM as I haven't got a meter for it. Baby steps, that's for the next grow.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Hey guys an update on my grow. Week 6, no mad stink yet but I can smell it briefly when I open the tent up.

I'm rather pleased to be honest , not the best plant specimens admittedly but it's my first grow so happy days. Largest plant being around 19 Inches tall / 50 CM.

How much more on the grow do you think I have , maybe 4 weeks ?

I really like the quote: "We all began as something else..."


Perhaps we should start a support group.
