By the way , surprised that you are worried at all ,those seedlings look damn good ! Good luck
You know who you need to talk to he's on a bit of a Sabbatical but he should be back before long is @PipeCarver , he was just talking about this stuff in my thread the beach house in grow journals the other day, he likes it
I use Pro mix I think it's pretty close to the same you want 6.2 in peat (I use 6.4 cuz when I mix my nutrients that's what it comes to) but the main thing for you is to get that PPM meter and check out what your tap water reads, that's going to be important going forward! until then keep doing what you're doing doesn't look bad, good luck!
Hey scone , HPS are hot , just watch out for that throughout the entire grow , not just the seedling stage , you can get screwed even as the plants are looking good and entering flower phase , 24 inches would be minium without air cooled hood , just watch the temps ,
One of the worse things to do is slow the race once the starting gun goes off , watch the temps.....
Great let us know what your water isThanks mate ! I had a look at your journal, lots of useful information in there thanks. I might shoot @PipeCarver a message :)
PPM meter arriving today so will be able to provide you with reading. Do you want the reading of water used to water the plants and a second one from the run off?
Great let us know what your water is
So I started this plant about two weeks ago and yesterday I did my transplant to a new bucket (cola Bottle) with my first watering and nutrient. When I checked on my plant around 2:30 today roughly about 24Hr after the transplant I noticed the 2 brown spot on my leaves any input would help.
Never put a dome on a Seedling.@Beachwalker @DreamsOfDiesel @dire wolf
Hey guys, just checked this morning and I noticed that the edges of some leaves are starting to turn up. I know this is due to heat or humidity. The humidity is very low as ye know. Will I put the dome over it for few days? I know some of you suggest it and some dont so unsure if I should or not. Or what can you guys suggest? Water bowl by the fan isn't working
Your own words tell me what's going on, you got to control your temperaturesThanks for that mate, If I keep it at 24 inches or above will it not cause stretching ? I currently have it set a 22 and it seems to be ok. Mind me asking what are your tricks for keeping the temps down? Its constantly 29-30 degree C in there for me unless I keep the tent open. Aye I was worried it's my first grow so wasn't sure if they're healthy looking or not
Your own words tell me what's going on, you got to control your temperatures
raise your light & turn it down until you figure out how to control it, you're worried about stretching I'm worried about keeping your plants alive for now till you get your grow areas environment adjusted properly
Also in all your pictures your medium looks too dry, you can water the peat based mediums pretty heavily without over-watering them, I'd recommend you water the entire medium, not just around the plant & next time start them in smaller containers it's easier to handle the watering
I notice your 3 Way meter is set to ph, the least accurate of the three. To aid with watering, set it to moisture and check your medium at various depths and locations. Give it a minute to stabilize and take your reading. When it gets into the red,3-4, bring it up to top of the green,7-8, adding water slowly, (I use a condiment squeeze bottle). As @Beachwalker advised, moisten entire medium. Right now it appears very uneven, with the soil pulling away from edges and cracking in various places. Water in circular fashion, slowly, radiating out from drip line. Key word moist, not wet.
