Hi everyone,

as the title says this is my first attempt to grow my own babies and I just need some guidance as the grow progresses just to be sure everything goes well and learn as much as I can in the process. So here's a little info.

What is your experience level? first timer

.1) 400W HPS Agro
.2) Around 15". http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9370/p1220265.jpg
.3) Parabolic deflector
.4) Small passive intake in the door of the room plus opening for 10-30mins twice a day at least
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? Yes both
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule? 430W (30W of blue spectrum light) 58k lumens running at 18/6

Your medium:
.7) Biobizz lightmix :: BioBizz
.8) 14l
.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? No

Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting? Tap water left in a container for at least 24-48h before used. Occasional rain water too. No idea on the ph tbh I need to get a pen at some point soon
11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...) None atm
12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...) None atm
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Cellmax Organics not yet feeding asides some slight foliar feeding with rootbooster

14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? Every 3-4 days
15) Any additives or tea's? No
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? Don't know yet, they should be since I'm not feeding yet
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? No idea unfortunately.
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? I foliar feed every 2-3 days with 3ml/l of rootbooster usually around afternoon that I get back from work. Watering is done with no nutrients atm.

Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors? Outdoors, built on a roof
20) What size of closet, room or hut? Roughly 5sqm (60sqf) but the area utilized for growing is around 2sqm (20sqf) and 3m (10ft) high
21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? On 20-23C (68-73F) and 60-70% hum. Off On 17-19C (63-66F) and 60-70% hum.
22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? No

Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? Sativa (Hawaii / Laos) supposed to be Green House Hawaiian Snow but don't trust the source lol (that's another long story of noobiness but anyway :wtf
24) From seeds or clones? Seeds
25) Is this an autoflower strain? No


A little history:
Germinated seeds in paper towel after soaking in distilled water overnight. 9/10 seeds sunk, and those 9 where germinated and planted in rockwool cubes. They sprouted out of the cubes in less than 2 days,

kept under tube fluo with just water spray for about a week while I was finishing the growroom and planted the rockwool directly to the soil 9 days ago with roots coming out at least an inch or two from the bottom of the rockwool.


Now I don't know if all that was needed for what I want to ask but I thought I might as well do it anyway. My question atm is whether or not my plants have passed from seedling to veg stage yet so I can start feeding, if not when I will know for sure that they have (cause reading countless sources and books just left some things way confused in my head) and if you think everything looks ok with my plants.

Here they are at the day I moved them to soil.

And here's a picture 8 days later.

Am I just being paranoid and overly stressed or the leaf edges are slightly tipped up? Temp at the top of the plants never exceeds 25-26C (77-79F) and is usually kept at around 24C (75F) with an oscillating fan blowing air constantly. They do grow fast though! What about the strain? Is it indeed a sativa or it's too soon to tell for sure? :rastasmoke: Leaves look a little wide to me but then again I'm the noob here...

Thank you all in advance for all the help and I'm sorry for being a pain but it's the first time and I'm losing sleep over it :stoned:

Cheers,
:joint1:
