Few updates day 9. Fed them nutes yesterday for the first time. Not sure if its stretching is a bad sign. I have some Snow Storm Ultra too that Im pondering on adding. What do you guys think? Also I have the light about a foot and 1/2 above it, should I lower the light?

 

[AZ007]

A foot and a half sounds right. I wouldnt be giving them nutes yet, their still so tiny, and not developed at all. I would browse through this journal if you have the chance, a lot of good information on dwc, but also on coco, as in this journal he grows both ways.
Cultivators Cultivation High Quality Yields

Here are some new pics I am also germing a sweet tooth strain soon to join NL. Only issue I am having is low humidity and plant starting to lean I think I didn't bury the seed deep enough so I'm piling more coco around it. Any advice would be appreciated

Your light is too far away.

More light is bouncing off the walls than hitting your plant directly.

That is why she is stretching and leaning.

You should get a reflector and hang the lamp horizontally

 

[AZ007]

Yep a lot of light being wasted, like rico said a reflector hanging horizontally would be a lot more efficient. And as far as the humidity goes do you keep that door closed, or open? If opened, closing it, and adding a bucket of water to the room will deff increase humidity, but idk how that would affect the temperatures in there, as it seems like u have no extraction fan extracting the heat out of the room..

 

[infam0us420]

When the light is on I have the closet open so heat doesn't get over 80.

your next move should be fans you can also tape foil or panda on the hood

you get the best light from the side of the bulb have the light about 5-8 inches from the plant... I didn't realize you are using hps when I answered in the FAQ

NOt sure whats going on.. After transplanting to the new pot (which wasn't very easy) I watered the plant with a gallon but by the time I checked tonight the leaves were sagging and not looking healthy. I touched the soil which I now am susing coco and perlite and it was bone dry. I figured a gallon wasn't enough so I added 2 more gallons and light nute's .1ml and now just crossing my fingers. Im trying to post pics but unfortunately Im not able to as the options are not there for me to choose or browse my pics :/..

Hey did you pre soak the Coco before use?

 

[infam0us420]

no should I have? I did when I transplanted the plant but not on the initial small container I began with

 

[infam0us420]

Good news is that the plant is starting to look healthy going to put her into flowering in 5 more day. I wish I could post pictures so I can get your guy advice if I should wait any longer but for some reason I can not upload pictures.
