First Grow: Jack the Ripper under a Procyon

awesome. i will do so since the godfather of LED has suggested it. =)

Question -- I have my cups on a wire rack thats like 2" high just to keep them off the floor of the growhut. The whole thing is made out of this washable vinyl. I've just been letting them drain and then dry (never takes long), but some soil has leaked and stained the floor. Would it be ok to wash this with like a Spray Cleaner that has a little bleach in the formula (taking the plants out of course) or would there still be enough bleach in the air to harm the plants afterwards?

Sorry, a little stoned, so hopefully I explained that question clearly lol.

Girls are comin along great, my late planted seed is finally turning around... should hopefully be transplanting by week's end the way we're going.

Question: since I added the CFLs and the oscillating fan, my temps have gone up and my humidity has gone down. The room my grow tent is in is like 8' x 2.5' (grow tent is 2.5' x 2.5') and the temp is 67F, humidity 63%. Inside the grow tent, the temp is 77F and the humidity 44%.

I've got 3 solo cups worth of water sitting in there to try and add a little water back into the atmosphere, but I cant seem to get the humidity up at all. Should I be worried that i'm not in the ideal 60-70% for veg? Is there another way to get my humidity inside the grow tent up or should I not even worry about it as long as I stay above 40%?

Thanks all

Nevermind on the humidity, 44% seems to be ok.

Got some pics. Time for transplant? Going away for a day and a half but I think Saturday night would be a good time to transplant... =) Then nute time? Girls were planted (seeds) June 1, so they are 25 days old. Slow starters, I know, that was my fault. (too long in the rapid rooters)

Also, last two pics are of the tri-node plant. it appears it grew half a node and then has a full node growing in UNDER that! Look at how fat the half node's leaves are!!!

What should I do with this plant, just let it do its thing?

Thanks all
DrSpiggity

yeah man....let it go!! I had a whorled phylotaxy last grow...(3 nodes at each point instead of 2)...and let it go, but it was a dude, so it went out....lookin healthy! It is almost transplant time:thumbsup:
WT

Hahaha yeah hopefully this one will be fine. Think I'd be good with transplanting tomorrow night, WT, or should I wait? Also, I meant to ask you, do you use 100% FFoF or do you mix in perlite? if so, how much? :jointsmile:

Thanks
DrSpiggs

nope...100% FFoF man...and i would go ahead and transplant this weekend...i am:thumbsup:

Transplant complete! mixed 11 gallons of ocean forest with 1 gallon of perlite. transplanted into 1 gallon grow bags. gave the 8 plants about 2 gallons of water. Gave them some spraying with the Dont Bug Me too. Hopefully it doesnt kill them.

Found a fly that kind of looked like an ant. Killed it. Not sure if that has anything to do with the yellow spotting on my leaves. Didnt see any signs of bugs on the undersides of leaves. Confused.

Cleaned the floor of the growhut with some spray cleaner that had bleach in it. Transplant was fun. Really tired now. Here's some pics. :jointsmile:

Update and more pics... girls are starting to get nice and big. Think I may still have a bug problem, there seems to be a little more yellow spotting. Not alot more, so maybe I slowed them down. I think I read you wait 5 days between Pyretheum applications? I sprayed sunday at like 1 am, so i guess that means friday morning is when i should spray again? I also ordered some neem oil so ill have that on hand by then as well.

Thoughts?

WOW! those grew so fast. so have you seen a difference in the LED specturm of light instead of CFL and/or T5 setup. and have there been any pros and cons of LED? but they look healty and look like there gonna treat you well. Nice Greenthumb!
