Strain of Mj? BOG Blue Moon Rocks
Hydroponic or soil? Soilless LC #1 Organic Mix (Coconut Coir, worm castings, perlite, lime)
From seed or clone? Seed
Age of plant in question? 8 days
What stage (Veg/Flower; how many days into)? Seedling
Container/Pot size? 16 oz cup not filled entirely with hole in bottom
Have they been transplanted, if so how long ago? No
Water runoff Ph? Unknown, PH meter seems broken (unless my soil, Coke Zero, and tap water all just happen to have a PH of 7.5)
Nutrients added? No
Feeding schedule? None
When were they last fed/watered? 3 Hours ago very lightly
How are you determining when to feed/water (weight, wilting, etc.)? Sight, touch
Tap/RO/Distilled water? I was using tap water but accidentally started using mineral water containing "purified water, magnesium sulfate, potassium bicarbonate, and potassium chloride"
Is your Ph equipment properly calibrated? Doubtful
Light intensity/Age of bulb/Wattage? 21,700 total lumens using 13 CFLs total actual watts 226 (supposedly equivalent to 1,300 watts incandescent). Half are 2700K and the other half are 5000K
Distance to the canopy? 6 inches, but separated by glass
Temps at canopy? 73 Fahrenheit
Day/Night temps (Min.-Max.)? Min 73 Max 80
Current air flow (CFM)? Unknown, but air is being circulated by fans in grow cabinet, though doors on cabinet are off and ceiling fan is on though it cannot blow directly onto the seedlings.
Is there air blowing directly onto plant? No
Using CO2? No
Relative humidity? 35% - 45%
Pests? None apparent
The first tiny set of true leaves on all of my seedlings in are curling down to the point of nearly touching the stems and appear lighter than in my one previous grow. I'm very inexperienced but have looked around for some answers on this and I suspect it may be that I'm hitting the seedlings with too much light or that something in the mineral water, like potassium, is messing everything up. For right now I'm turning off the cab lights and giving the seedlings a little night time and in the morning I will probably leave on only 6 of my lights for a total of about 150 watts at 10,000 Lumens and start using bottled purified or distilled water instead of mineral.
So have I really messed things up or what? Too much light? Mineral water accident isn't a BIG accident I hope. Please tell me I haven't killed them or irreparably harmed them. Also, I apologize for the lack of photos. I'm having a problem posting photos and using the site's search function while using a proxy and though I've been looking around on the site and have found a lot of info on security, nothing seems to answer the image posting behind proxy thing yet.
