Hey guys new to site, very intrested in getting my hands dirty! Have a few questions. Ive assisted in grows in past but this is my first all on my own. I started a dinafem critical + 5 days ago, no soakin or paper towel just straifgt into soil. 3 days is didn pop so i started poking around and found it. It was having trouble standing up (growing in a ball right undr soil) moved some soil aroind so it was exposed and in a few hrs she stood up straight. Now that shes poped i need a few pointers!
Heres my set up. on my uninsulated back porch in a 5x3 kinda home made tent. Using a cheap 600 w hps i picked up on amazon. Seed was planted in 2.5 gallon pot (i no, should habe went bigger). I have no cfl or anything to use so rn i got my hps turned down to 250 w and about 18 inches from plant. Have a resturant duty squirrel cage up top for exhaust and a heavy duty job site fan for the intake. PLENTY of air intake if i need it. Over 2 days plant doesnt seem to have changed much. Am i ok using the hps on this seedling? Temps sitting at like 80 at the plant, humidity around 40 to 50. Lights on 24 hrs a day as of now. I was worried about stretching but so far shes good. And watering is confusing me on what i should do, ive ben putting 2- 16 oz bottles of water on it every other day to keep the seedlin moist. Is this to much? Finger check in the soil it feels sorta dry, but not as dry as the soil in the bag. Should i worried about it getting dry? Or to moist. I cant pick up a ph pen till next week so im shooting in the dark there. Bottled water not tap. I have natural springs very close to my house i could collect water from if there would b ne benefit. Ne help is greatly appreciated! Ps ( tryn to figure out how to post pics
