Hey Everyone,
First post on this site. I've been in and out of the growing game for the last 10 years. I used to post religiously on a site called OverGrow.com - which got taken down some time ago. Anyway, I recently relocated and have a little extra space and a very hard time accessing any good bud, as most of my connections have moved away. I thought it would be a good time to grow my own stash and avoid dealing with sketchy characters.
Here's my setup:
The tent is approx. 3'x3'x6'
I have 4 x 105w 6500k CFLs for about 28,000 lumens.
I just added this inline fan. It's rated at 240 CFM. Because my setup is only 54 CF, I thought it would be sufficient for venting.
I've got 4 Big Bud plants from seed in 3 gallon fabric pots. They're in a mixture of Fox Farm Ocean Forest with a good amount of perlite added. These plants are at day 13 today and each one is at its 4th node. Nice little plants, they look like they'll be quite bushy.
As you can see, 2 of the plants are pretty healthy and 2 not so much. The first plant had some heat stress a few days ago, so I moved the bulb a few inches away and it seems to have recovered- the new growth is coming in looking healthy. The 2nd and 3rd ones pictured here look pretty good, so I'm not concerned. The last one has me most worried. The discoloration is something I'm not familiar with. Moreso, it looks like the new growth is coming in equally discolored, so that's not good. Any advice on what's going on?
I haven't added any nutrients yet because I think the FF soil should be good for about 3-4 weeks and I don't want to stress the plants.
I'm having some issues keeping the temps down. I have a clip on fan coming which I hope will help, but even with the addition of the 240CFM inline fan, I can't get my temps any lower than 81 degrees. Right now I don't have a fan intake, just a passive vent that's open in the back of my tent. The tent is in a room where the ambient temp is 69 degrees all day. I thought the temps would drop a couple degrees with the addition of the inline fan, but that hasn't worked out.
My humidity is at right about 50%. It was higher before, but the inline fan seems to have lowered it a little. I have a hand towel that I soak then roll up and leave on the floor of the tent. That helps bump the humidity up a few points.
Anyway - any pointers here? I'm not sure what is going on with the one plant w/discoloration. And I'm open to suggestions on how to get my temps down.
Thanks!
