First Organic - Soil - Indoor - MH/HPS - Grow 2015

[Potato69]

Hello all, First Grow. Definitely will need assistance as I go I will learn (Though I have done countless hours of research) I still will suck so please opinions and comments welcome!

Strains- Barneys Farm (Liberty Haze, Critical Kush x2 and Pineapple Chunk) and BlimBurns (Tijuana) 5 plants all together

Light-1000 Watt MH-Veg and HPS-Flower

Room- 8' Wide 8' Tall 4' Deep, Painted White, With inline 4'' fan along with a carbon scrubber and another fan in room for air movement.

Growing Medium-Recipe 420 potting soil Emerald Triangle blend. 5 Gallon Squat Nursery Pots.

Nutrients- Sea Grow 16-16-16 (VEG) and Max Sea 3-20-20 (Flower/Bloom)

I Germinated the seeds about 2 days ago and so far 4/5 cracked out of their shells and showed their white root and I transplanted them to plastic red cups and in them is Royal Gold Tupur Soil (guy at the shop said it's special for seedlings). So now, how long before I turn the lights on and how long before I water them again? I have them in a humidity dome and at the bottom of it with the heating mat that came with it. And Here are the pics i can provide as of now. Will provide more sometime tonight or tomorrow

Been 9 days since transplant and just fed and watered them for first time. I did 1/4 tblsp of Max Sea 16-16-16 room temperature fluctuates from 69-78 degrees slowly pH went in at about 6.2 came out at 6.5! :'D humidity at 65%


Some stretched out because the day I put them under the MH light my new ballast was faulty and it broke so boo hoo for me I put them under a cheap far away can big ordeal happened I got a 24 inch t5 sun blaze so anyway they got long and lanky... Any advice of that?

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i would have burried them down a bit deeper or topped the soil up more around them , you transplanted a bit too soon and the scary part is you shoulnt feed seedlings not for at least 4/6 weeks depending on soil , you will fry them little babies , you should ask for advice before doing things , the good people here will steer you in the right direction

 

[Potato69]

I read that once it's true leaves showed I can start feeding at 100-250 ppm ec/tds reading...

 

[NuttyProfessor]

just be careful , seedlings are very easy to kill , there should be enough in your soil to last you a few weeks

 

[Potato69]

Thanks for your advice and concern, but is there a safe way to dig them deeper now?

Nice brotha, they don't look that stretched out
But how far away from your babies do you have your light?
you can control your streaching by moving the light closer

 

[Potato69]

The light is within 2 ft and my 1000 watt ballast is set to 50% for now

 

[NuttyProfessor]

push your soil down firm then top up the pot ....i had to do it my self

see the little stretch , and i dont know if you can make them out in the middle were i added soil ?

 

[Potato69]

I will provide an update tonight guys lots of pics! they are looking beautiful!

My Baby

Why did this one grow like this? the first true leaves grew together and I had to split them because they were making her bend too much

 

[Potato69]

So far so great I watered my plants a week after feeding since the soil was moist through out the week 25% drain, Humidity at 60%, Temperature 70-81 degrees (fluctuates slowly(those are the highs and lows)), pH goes in at 6.2 comes out 6.5 with Reverse Osmosis water Don't need to even use a pH up/down kit!

My Ballast broke once again after receiving a new one from LowBaller on ebay. If you're gonna buy an expensive piece of equipment i suggest spending the extra dollar and going to the store because if your light breaks and you bought it online you're fucked. I had to buy a t5 24'' and luckily I did cause if that one breaks I can easily go and return it. Thinking of switching to an all out t10 or t12 grow the big panel ones or any suggestions? I'm Def gonna receive my money back.

 

[Ruebudz]

Beautiful brotha! Are they sativas?
Any improvement on the last one?
