First Grow/Set-up, SoS for assistance!

more pics....

the small plant with the reflector on it is an experiment, the growth was slow, but after I put the reflector on it for a bit, the leafs almost doubled in size over a day....

The pen in the solo cup is also an experiment, I took a plastic pen and drilled a bunch of holes through it. Hopefully it will assist in getting some air to the roots, just an experiment, I will see how it helps the growth out.

let me know what you guys think, all feedback is much appreciated.

ROOM TEMP. STERALIZED WATER. AND GOOD ROOM TEMP TO KEEP YOUR NICE ND WARM

[uncleweed]

what temp would you recommend?

[uncleweed]

Crap, I am running into issues, the temps are getting too high from the HPS and the humidity is around 32%....

I spread around some wet towells on the floor hoping to moisten the air a bit and ordered an 8" inline fan from home depot. Should be here by the end of the weekend.

Soooooo........the fan didn't come yet, so I am battling heat, at one point the temps were as high as 91, so what I am doing is periodically shutting off the hps and leave the cfls on, this gives the room enough time to cool down a bit

fuck, the fan still didn't get here, but the plants are looking good except for one.

Flouro's can be hung very close to the plant because it produces such little heat. In fact, your plant tips could be touching the bulb for days with little or no effect.

I had been told that you cannot burn leaves with cfl`s and so I experimented on my grow. You can get them very close (1-2cm) but if you let them touch the leaves (esp fresh growth) cfl's can cause some leaf burn.

yea one small plant has some warped leafs. I will post some pics later today.

Checked on it a few min earlier and everything is going along fine. The plants are looking great, the only thing is the growth seems to be around leafs and not around height, which is ok I guess.

sorry about the lack of pics lately, but I have been having problems mounting my sd memory card to my computer.....

anyway, the plants are growing, I don't see so much length, but they are getting bushy... all the leafs are like crammed in like crazy.

I watered the plants around monday with 1/5 strength solution of 3-10-3. Wednesday night I watered them with some plain ph 6.8 water and checked the run off, for most plants it was good except for one....

This morning I checked on the plants and the soil seemed very dry, I stuck my finger in there about an inch and a half and was dry as a 80 year old nun. So I watered them again with some nutes this morning. When I came home from work today though, I noticed that the bottom fan leafs on almost all plants are yellow and withering.... one plant has the fan leafs almost entirely gone.... The set of bottom leafs are also yellower than the rest of the top leafs.... I mixed a slightly stronger solution and watered the plants again now (I only used about a 12 oz bottle for all 7 plants, so I didn't drown them)... also the weird part is that after I watered them this morning the soil seemed pretty dry as well.....


Is this a nitrogen defiency? please advice!!!!!!!!
