This is my first attempt at a grow so hopefully i dont screw it up too bad.
First off materials.
400w galaxy digital ballast, thing doesnt get that hot at all really, i love it so far, no rf problems with cable, phone or wireless.
sunmaster econocool 6in duct, not sold on this yet, i cant keep the light cool b/c my fan is horrid and not hooked up.
ecoplus fan 4in (pos need a quieter fan) any suggestions?
just using some panda poly stuff ghetto rigged until i figure out something permanent that i like.
soil, fox farms ocean forest, with 30% perlite, and some dolomite lime.
I had 4 seeds from some bagseed to have a test run.
i used paper towel method and 3 of 4 sprouted, not bad i thought. I put one into soil with only a short 1/4 root, the other 2 i let get a long 1 inch root going before soil time.
Here is where i made my first mistake, i hung my 400w light 5 feet above the plants and got this.
so i went and put them all under a 4ft flouro tube for the next week, the seemed to be doing ok, but plant 1, that sprouted first, has been having problems with twisting leaves and what not. also looked like the flouros singed the edge?
above and below are pics of the leaves that are the most twisted and bentall wierd now back under the 400w, what do you think? heat? it has got up to 85 a couple times, but now its about 75-78 lights. I need to make a tent outside this closet.
heres all three now after thier first day back under the hps.
and that brings us to today, the plant 1 with its twisted leaves was pissing me off, so i snipped a couple leaves purely for learning experience on how the plant will react. the other 2 are doing very well. They both look very indica to me, these two have a couple leave curls on them but not very much, im worried that the low humidity is also hurting them, it never goes above 30% since i took the bags off the top.
So what do you think for a new fan? I might have to go to wally world and get a humidifier for veg it seems. Also, Ive only water them ever 2-3 days and only until the first drop comes out the bottom. My water is ph of around 8, been taking it down to 6.0-7.0 before watering. The bulb im using is a solarmax.
