What Seed Breeder is the strawberry Cough?

anbesol Reviewed by anbesol on 05-13-2008. first grow ever closet 450w setup first grow ever. Could use some help. I'm having some discoloration and yellowing issues. All came from local dispensary as clones. Under 450watt MH, temps stay between 80-85 throughout the day (working on getting this lower) I have been watering tap water every 2 days just enough to moisten the soil. Using Fox Farms Ocean Forest organic potting soil with worm castings and bat guano. Terra Vega nutes, but haven't started feeding yet. Just plain tap. The setup: Rating: 5

I just flushed the plants with 1/2 the recommended dose, raised the lamp to about 18". Will the plants be ok from 80-85 degrees or do I have some ventilation work to do.?

Thanks for the help :thumbsup:

I would use ventilation if i was you. you can get inline duct fans that work great if u dont want to go with a carbon filter

I added an inline 200cfm fan to the setup that vents outside. Temp is now stable around 75-78

I sprayed the plants down thoroughly with Safer bug spray pyrethrins based.

Will do so again in 6 days or so.

Nice one sorting the temps with the cooltube and fan

Don't forget to pot up soon tho mate, they're looking like they need it.
Looking a lot better, keep it up!

All over it. My pancreatitis was acting up today so I was home sick and decided to transplant the two largest guys. The root systems were not as extensive as I expected nevertheless it needed to be done. Also got my Soil PH meters and also a water PH tester. My tap water tests at 7.6.

Update pix.







Soil PH. These meters aren't all that accurate but they'll do I suppose.



At what point on the moisture meters should I be watering?


Temps under control. This weekend is supposed to get real hot so I'll see what happens.

You have a solid set up, I like your grow and will be watching it in the future.

Good luck with your grow, you seem to be taking all the necessary steps to get a fine bounty at the end

those are cool little ph meters, never seen those before..

Oh I'm waiting on PH test kit and moisture/PH meter for the soil. Should be coming tomorrow. Also ordered a few books to help educate myself

it's nice to see that kind of initiative

you say your tap water is 7.6? sounds like you could use a reverse osmosis water filtration unit.

anyway, good luck with your grow, you'll find all the help you need here, lots of very experienced people (lots of newbies like me too, lol)

nice healthy looking plants! Are you using water directly from the tap or do u let it set out for 24 hours? Letting the water set out for a day b4 use allows all the chemicals and crap thats it local water to evaporate giving the plants fresher water. I usually put 2 gal of water in a safe place with minimal traffic and add nutes as i need to, keep good track though you dont want to give your plants any nute burn.

Never heard of paris kush b4 im excited for a smoke report!
