a lot of this stuff will be acquired within the next two months... This is more of a learning experience for now so there isn't as many "noobie" mistakes on the next grow, which will be ordered seeds & such.
78 - 85 @ 40-50 RH is just fine. They will love that. You'll be fine without and exhaust fan for a four or five weeks so long as you open the tent 1x / day. Once they get bigger they do benefit from rotating air but people tend to oversell the need for fresh air. Important? Yes but critical? Not so much so long as you open the tent daily. Now the pH pen is a different story. Using incorrectly pHed water will screw up your plants and quick. You don't need to spend big money on a fancy pen. A cheap hanna will do fine. But to get some calibration solution @ 7 or 4 pen dependent and be sure to calibrate each time you use it. You will be surprised at how quickly they go out of whack.
bigsby Reviewed by bigsby on . What's up with my plant?! It's been 20 days since I planted this one (not counting germination, add 3 days for 23 total with germ) All the stems are a dark purple as you can see, the cotyledon's started yellowing a couple days ago & are not shriveling up & dying... The leaves seem to be healthy, other than the two original serrated leaves, as seen in the picture... within the past 4-5 days leaves started growing out like crazy, so I'm assuming it's in veg now, but it's worrying me because it hasn't grown much height Rating: 5
