First Ever Grow - Soil - 8 Ball Kush & Cheese Journal - 2016

[Luluthia]

Hey man looking good. I got some comments on exausting my space in my journal. Maybe what i did is a bit much, but it'll get the juices flowing?

Hey guys, so here is a group photo of my 6 kids..... Please take a look and feel free to pipe up if you see something not right.... I'm scared the biggest is stretching even after I dropped the light. The 600w is about 15" from the propagator now and its warm when I put my hand over the propagator. The biggest is 5cm tall and we are on day 7.

Sorry for the photo quality, I took it with a potato by the looks of it.

Cheers!

They are looking good, any with longer stems can be planted a bit deeper when you transplant in to bigger pots. As long as youve got tight internodes developing that better, you dont want lke 5cm+ between internodes

 

[JollyPotta]

Cheers man, thanks for the ongoing wisdom. I just want to get it right first time.

I ordered a new extractor today, its 350 m3/hour 5" which will replace my dog shit 187 m3/hour 4", I'm hoping this will solve me temp issues.

 

[Canna Montana]

Such little beauties! Congratulations!

 

[welshpony]

That should help, im running a 187m3/hr with a 250w hps and its always around 30c. How long till your new kit comes?

 

[JollyPotta]

Hopefully! I ordered this morning and it was dispatched straight away so the kid in me hopes tomorrow, but the adult says probably Mon/Tues. I don't really need it yet but I got carried away.... :rolleyes3

 

[welshpony]

Getting carried away is so easy with these plants, im currently pricing up a proper tent, can get one for £90 but then theres a kits for £200 and its got a 600w HPS and another exhaust kit. All my head can think is get the kit lol

 

[JollyPotta]

I bought a kit for 170, black orchid tent, 600w hps, then a shit extractor fan and filter! haha. Definately go for a 6inch and don't make my mistake! Get it man! I would

 

[JollyPotta]

So guys, went to check on the pups after a couple of hours and I'm greeted by a this on my leaves! Is it over watering or too close to the HPS? Its like a golden colour, I've only been mist spraying the base of the plant, not full on watering them.

 

[welshpony]

Im running a 4" atm and its holding in there

 

[JollyPotta]

Will a mylar tent not be hotter? I dunno. Any idea of my leaf conundrum?

 

[welshpony]

Im looking at a budbox setup its white walls instead of silver/mylar so i would expecting a little drop in temp but id have 2 fans as well then so no worries there.

How close is the HPS to the plant and what wattage? HPS can easily burn little ones

 

[JollyPotta]

I've took it upto 24 inches away now, I had it maybe 15 inches away and it wasn't hot on the hand when placed at the top of my plants, so I dunno! I picked up some biobizz leaf coat and gave them a light spray over with that. I hope it helps! Its a 600w HPS

 

[welshpony]

Its the intensity of the light that gets them when theyre that little, ive not tried the leaf spray but use their bloom and grow and I love it.

Fingers crossed for you

 

[JollyPotta]

SO guys, two of my plants were wilted over this morning I've taken them out from under the 600w and put them under the T5, I don't wanna lose another! I think I'll put them under the 600w when they are a bit more robust, the temps are definitely not helping

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Stop spraying the seedlings, water them properly when they are dry. I bet your crispy edges are where the water and light has burned the leaf.

 

[StupidNoob]

Yeah......the light has nothing to do with it lol

 

[kckike]

I agree with mr. am4zin, stop spraying. You have to let them do their thing... water them enough and if you keep them under the hps give them a at least 24 inches space , its a strong light and your seedlings are at a very young age. if you keep them under the T5 give them some room too, maybe 5 inches, if you see they are stretching put it a little closer, if the leaves look a little burned or like "praying hands" it means the light is too close. but don't change them from light to light, choose one and stick to it. any of those lights is ok when its at the right distance from your plants, maybe you are worrying too much, read your plant when you notice a problem, you always kind of know exactly whats going on and how to fix it. trust your self and of course its ok to seek advice, but try not to make very abrupt changes to your babies.
keep it going and remember that sometimes we fail, everyone has lost a seedling or fucked up at some point... and sometime is not even your fault, just keep trying and keep learning...

How are they looking?
