Welcome to the club man, looking forward to seeing what you do!

 

[Valentino92zg]

Thanks alot. But as meny of us i believe camed here with problem that I have with my young seedling,my second grow ever heh.

 

[Weedman11]

No worries man, post a pic and let’s figure it out

Yellowing on leafs .

 

[Valentino92zg]

Setup:
200w grow cfl
Pc fans lower air in, upper air out. Small fan blowing on plant, strain is 00 seeds northern lights or buuble gum or chocolate kush not sure what of those three. Potting mix is canna terra pro (not pro plus). What else , water is not pH regulated ( dont have the equipment yet) . rH about 37,38 min to 49 max. Temp 22 to 25 celsius .

Looks like too strong of light to me for a seedling, maybe raise a bit. Oh you definitely need to ph your water, it could be causing lockout if it can’t absorb the soil nutrients. Until you do get a ph and tds meter, i’d throw some lime slices over the soil and water through them because it helps balance the ph since most are much more alkaline.

Thanks is it still to close on this pic here? Its about 1 feet away from cfl. Where could i find lime?

 

[Weedman11]

My bad I just saw it’s a cfl, actually I doubt it’s from too much light and would actually hang them 6ish inches above Or less. Limes from like the store, cut em up and line the soil with the peels

 

[Weedman11]

Are you planning on using the cfl throughout the grow or switching to LED or mh/hps?

Oh okey, i would switch to hps or mh but afraid of heat cause its not to big of a box. Its about 1x2 ft and 4 ft tall. Can it be that the soil is too hot? Canna terra pro.
And about led, i bought 150w full spectrum cob led that goes directly on 220V power. But heard confusing reviews on that chinese led cobs. Im in process of making a water cooling for it.

 

[Weedman11]

Yeah a lot of the Chinese cobs will burn out within a few months so make sure you got one with a good warranty. Leds would be fine, so would the mh/hps, if you have like a 400w hps then keep it about 18” above, but if you want to grow taller go with the leds and you don’t have to raise them nearly as much

 

[Weedman11]

No I doubt the soil is an issue, but biggest advice I’d give is to get ahold of that tds & ph meter ASAP

 

[Valentino92zg]

I understand thanks, i've been looking for leds but not sure what to buy, talking about grow leds from the store,ebay. Im gonna always grow one plant at a time so no need for anything powerful,but would like to get the most out of that one plant, was looking at roleadro ugo 138w but not sure if its any good.

 

[Valentino92zg]

Roleadro ufo*

 

[Weedman11]

Haven’t used that brand before but if you only plan on growing one at a time you don’t need too much wattage. This is a solid resource I have bookmarked on lighting. Do be the best at determining the optimum light for your plants get a PAR meter. How Far Should Grow Lights Be From Plants

Thanks once again

Thanks man )

Can you maybe look at my problem? Second opinion always comes good

 

[MochaBud]

Well it looks fine to me, from what I can see...there's water droplets on it reflecting light but yeah looks happy to me
