BudWorker.2, Coco, 600 HPS

[Budworker.2]

Hi guys, New to here and to growing. Personal use .
I will follow Cultivator's how to grow in coco feed program. I've got all the nutes line up. This is my first grow at the moment I'm having problems with what I think is stretching. I've watered them 150ml of 1ec ph 5.8 each day. I will get a video of the feed when I have some time.
Here is my setup :

1.2 X 1.2 X 2 Grow tent
600 Watt Dimmable ballest
Sunmaster Bulb
6" Exshust
4" intake from window, and passive in take from vents.

Where I'm at now :
Germ the seeds in the paper towel method took 3 days, Worked perfect thanks to Cultivator,

8-06-2018 i put the seeds into jiffy pellets. 250 Watt of light for 24 hours.
9-06-2018 - 250 Watt put on 18/6

11-06-2018 Potted up to 1.5 litre plastic pots
12-06-2018 switched from 250 watt to 400watt
14-06-2018 switched from 400watt to 600watt
~~~
So here are some of the pictures on the 14-06-2015

Any help - Information is welcomed

So after speaking to @Pennywise he has advise me to drop my light lower to stop the stretch. Here is a picture update, Lights are off at the moment but we are in VEG.

Hopefully this will sort out the stretch

Keep an eye on temps

Dont worry about the small stretch. I had real issues at first as well but all went well. Take a look at my beginning. I am using Cults feeding schedule as well.

Keep an eye on temps

I will keep an eye on temps, I picked bulk because they say it can do well with swings of temps etc.. I'm trying my hardest to keep on temps but my budget Is low at the moment, I've bought a fan controller a few days ago so temps are more steady.

Thanks, I will take a look at yours. I'm hoping these will be okay as they are finding it hard to stand on there own now, anyhow I've lowered the lights now and we will see.

Sweet, Seen on the first page you put them in other pots, The pots I have is 26 litre fabric pots. Do you think I should pot them up to there finale pots in a few days time?

Plants are looking nice , I'll take your advice on board Will do this Friday. I seen Cultivator's plants looked a little stretched some of them was falling over. Find pics here : Click here - Hopefully he will chip in his views.

Now ive read your intro i see whats happened. Not necessary to go from 250-400-600w. Just start on 600w. If temps are an issue run a length of ductto the intake from somewhere cooler if poss. You want your extraction running at full strength 24-7. This will mean lots of co2 for the plants and that means they can handle a higher temp. Bulk can get tall in stretchand it likes lots of bending but dont top.

You arent close to potting up yet. probs 2 weeks away.

Subbing in..If your seedlings are falling over prop em up, I personally would get a small fan and point it at wall of tent so the air rebounds and sways ur seedlings (not direct)...they will strengthen up

I start seeds under 400w mh so i always have this "seedling stretch". What I do is - I use a toothpick and just put them straight up.

Subbed in and watching

thanks for taking a look cult!

okay so if i set up exshaust to run 24/7 full power without the fan controler and the intake with the fan controller
so it can slow down when the lights are off etc. for example today when the lights come on it was 32-34c this was at 5pm
when i get to see the plants at 6am the temps are at 23-25c, ive now lowered the lights aswell so the tps will go up at plant height.

what do you think?

 

[Budworker.2]

update :

so today i got some cable ties and wood to keep up the plants, the temps when the light come on at 5pm hit around 34c i will mot be able to see the plants till 6am so i will update you with temps then as around this time i can get perfect temps around 24-25c.

Watered 1ec ph5.8, 150ml each. here are the pics

What strength rating is your extraction fan? your air temp is pretty hot. above 32c i see stress in my ladies, leaf curl and such.
Careful ur cableties dont choke the stems as they grow too

 

[Cultivator]

its way too hot in there. raise that light also, just keep it at the highest point in the tent, way too strong to be that close to seedlings. let the plants groe up to the light in that space.

I found using silica supplement in veg alongside cults feed schedule has really helped with my heat issues

I Will get the exact fan model when at location, the cable ties wont be staying they was just a quick fix as i had to go real quick.
