I found that at the seedling stage and for the first few weeks less is more.
No nutes. Good soil. Good water. Lotsa fresh air and decent light.
If you start screwing with their environment every day, it is hard to isolate what caused the problem.
Do you log everything? Date, PH, temp, humidity, growth, amount of water given etc. This will help in the future if you clone, and will also help determine deficiencies.
I'm still new though so if anyone want's to correct me, I take well to it.
thanks for the info im a little impatient, but im trying not to love them too much. well just so you know the co2 generator is a very slow drip maybe too slow(about a drop every 5 mins or longer).
Ive taken the thermometer out of my car and put it the box and i am recording temps of 92F because of the new cfl light (its mexican weed so it should hold up to the heat.) although im really unsure of where it came from, but it looked like good shwag.
i found a post about people giving the plants 17/7 light schedule and set it up that way a couple of days ago. I think ive been pretty consistent with the plant nothing is changing much(except for the new light and stuff).
Also do you think that the plants will out grow my box or will they stay below the light?(soil to light is 6inch)
is there only one cfl in there? you'll need more than one with that many plants....that's why they're leaning, they want to grow towards the light
otherwise good work !
Remember i still have the flourescent light too. so that equals one cfl and a flourescent light. i checked the tube on the flourescent and it said it outputs uv-a and uv-b light, but im unsure of the wattage(its for a reptiles)
id add more if i could find more fixtures in my garage. i think there might be more. But then there is the heat problem with those lights. the temp is already 92F. o and i forgot im using up all the plugs on the timer(ive already put a 1-2 outlet converter thing, im trying to find the other 1-3 converter but no luck yet.)
Also do you think that the plants will out grow my box or will they stay below the light?(soil to light is 6inch)
im only planning on keeping one or two plants just so you know. i will be very happy if only one is female. then i could concentrate on her and do a crazy lst across the tub if the lights can get me that.
Is 95F-100F too hot for the plants? the cfl lights get very hot. although i only have a passive exhuast
Yes, that's too hot. With those temps, even if you get a female, she might grow some balls and seed herself. You need to work on getting that temp down at *least* to the mid 80s, and lower would be better.
thanks, i try and leave the lid proped up on one corner so it doesnt get that hot. im also still waiting on getting another fan and building a new carbon filter exhuast.
here are some updated pics. i know there not growing fast. a snail is faster.
there not in the same order, but if u take a look at the other pics u can tell which is which
Any tips or suggestions will be appreciated
right now im building another carbon filter exhaust ive gotten 2 more computer fans that i salvaged from an old computer. one will be for the exhaust and the other will sit right below the cfl bulb to cool it down.
running out of power outlets so i will have to add a power strip.(crap the extension cord is 2 prong, the strip is 3 prong)
i will post pics when its finished, but for now its time to sleep in.
ok so i scraped the previous idea as i thought that once the smell comes, an exhaust would make my room smell.
