Hello,
This is my first grow and my girls are 2 weeks old as of today. I was given some feminized white rhino seeds from a friend. Here is what I am using:
400 watt HPS light
2x4x5 grow tent
inline 4" air blower
digital tempature and humidity gage
metromix professional growers soil
tapwater out of the sink (no water softner)
I have 5 plants but one is a runt so I might be getting rid of that one if there isn't room in the future. For some reason, the leaves are starting to turn yellow. I have not give the plants any nutes yet, just good old H2O. I do have some protogrow organic fertilizer that I want to try once I transplant them. I had really good results using it in my vegatable garden over the summer. I have been using the inline fan to draw heat away from the light. I started blowing the air from the fan back onto the plants because it seem to be pretty cool by the time it goes through the 4" line. THe humidity has been pretty low in the tent. Usually between 12%-20%. I'm not sure how important that is for the plants health. If they need more humidity, is there an easy way to bring this up without getting a humidifier? The temp has been staying between about 60 degrees when the light is off and up to 90 degrees when the light is on. I was also told that if you spray the plants with seltzer water, they would get more CO2 and be healthier. Does anyone know if that really makes a difference? If anyone has any suggestions on things that I am doing right or wrong, I would be happy to hear. I really want the plants to start getting greener and taller. It seems that the size really hasn't increased much the last few days, just some more small leaves. Thanks for anyone taking the time to post. I will try to get some pics on here as soon as I figure out how. Peace!!!
