First Indoor Grow 2 Autos 1 Super-Auto! HELP!!!

[dracoc55]

Hi guys i would like to thank every one in advance for viewing my grow journal.
I'm currently 6 days in on a grow of 1 Easyryder, 1 Auto Pineapple Express, and 1 Annapurna super-auto. I'm currently growing in a mixture of light warrior 60% and ocean forest 40%, temps stay between 75-79, humidity is about 50% i don't really know how to raise or lower it i have a small blue fan inside blowing and i set a bowl of water infront of it to hopefully raise the humidity. For lights im using a Fluorowing from Hydrofarm it uses a 125w 6400k bulb, as well as 2 42 w 2700k in reflectors. i'll be adding pictures of the plants as of today and the grow closet and setup, this is my first grow ever indoors im hoping i can get some advice i'm a bit worried about pineapple express she has a bit of burning on her tips and seems a bit stunted, I've been waiting till the soil is dry, i stick my pinky deep in the soil to see if its dry then water when needed, i have also been watering with distilled pH water at about 6.0, i also have a fan blowing inside the closet at all times. Lights are set for a 20/4 schedule. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, alright guys see you in a few days with a update. Stay High :rastasmoke::rastasmoke:

Ill try to throw down my two pence on this one.
First, you should have the seedling in 100%light warrior(1"widex2.5"deep), just so it can develop good roots, the rest ocean forest.
Then try to get your humidity low as possible for veg.(Higher humidy is to get the seed to sprout and for flowering)
For soil you need to maintain a pH of 6.2-6.8.

[dracoc55]

So ummm how do i check the soil ph level?

[Jo3]

You'll have to spend 20$ to get a pH meter, most of the time your pH'n your water down.

[dracoc55]

I actually have a ph meter i keep the water at about 6.0 ph, according to water my ph meter says, i have ph up and down but i only use distilled water when watering them as to make sure no chemicals are in the water compared to if i tried to sit out tap water for a day then use it.

This Saturday i'll be buying AN Sensi Grow Part A&B and Sensi Bloom Part A&B, as well as 3 5gal black buckets to transplant for there final home.
Next weekend ill be buying my Quantum T5 Badboy 6500k 8 Bulb Fixture, wondering how high up i should start the T5 above the plants, it would be about 3 weeks old. I got my a/c fixed and new ducting under the house, I'm blowing constant 72 now so in the grow closet under the lights its about 76-77 constant, I also moved my light schedule from turning off at 6pm and back on at 10pm, to turning off at 2pm and back on at 6pm, this solves the high heating issues i was having at that time of day, seems like the extra light didn't stress em if not actually boosted a little growth.
