I think I killed them!
in response to last post:
I think your dead on. I started with 2 sprouts first, then a week later I planted another 2, then a week later, finally 1 last sprout. The last 2 I planted died this week because there was a very brief cold snap and I think the temp dipped too low for them to make it. The first 2 sprouted like twigs and I thought I had a problem, but as it would turn out, the third sprout is now as tall in as short of time as the first 2. So now I am left with 3 plants all of equal height with various degrees of growth. This would appear to be normal for this plant then. I am just not used to this process I guess so I am unsure of what to expect.
As to the lights, I think I do have them too far away or did at least. I have relocated all 6 of my lights no more then 3 inches away from a plant. I had my plants sort of spread out on their own drop pan, but today moved them all onto one 18 inch plastic drip pan in 6 inch pots. The lights have all been restrung to more effectively surround the plants as well as one in the middle of them. Since the lights are hanging from the rafters, I will need to wrap the electrical wire with some sort of stiff wire so that I can position the lights easier. They are kind of a pain to get exactly right.
As I was repositioning the lights and so forth I noticed that the leaves on all the plants are droopy looking. Is that due to not enough light? It cant possibly be a moisture problem since the soil never drys out. I bought a moisture control soil and apparently it works too well since the soil is always moist. Never standing water though or pooled water, any water that wants to drain away can easily do so. I also noticed the tops browning on 1 or two leaves which has me curious as well.
My last thought is towards the air movement. Keep in mind that the grow room is in the attic, should I put a fan on the plants directly? I have an attic fan although it's not on these days since the heat control is off due to temps below 80 degrees now. There is a whirly bird thing just above the plants, but I doubt this creates that much wind movement. The air is "still" up there, not stagnant like a shed or barn would be though. I wonder if they need more air movement to bring in CO2 from out side the attic? Would that cause the tips of the leaves to brown and the leaves to droop?
