Yellowing leaves - 2 week old plant

[ValiumForMe]

I just moved the whole setup into an unused armoir. It's about 2.5'x2.5'x4'. I'm thinking the plant will get more light this way. It's cedar too, so I'm assuming that's good for bugs in the future.

Let that baby dry as fast as possible.
A fan may help but she is very wet and that pot is a bit big for a baby to use all the water it holds. The roots need oxygen. You really should not need to water for a week and a half

Like I said, I put it into a wooden closet/armoir, so hopefully that will help draw some of the moisture out. I've also got the three CFLs MUCH closer now with hoods basically covering the entire planter which again should heat it up a bit to assist with drying it out. I added a fan in the corner on low in the closet too. Hopefully it shouldn't take too long to dry.

You say to water in a week and a half, how much should I water?

If the pot was dry , bone dry, I would ad 12 oz of water , guessing, every two days.

That's what I was doing. I added a bottle of water once every other day, it may have been 16oz bottles though.

I'll go every three days.

Thanks, I'll keep you updated.

Definatly do.

It seems like moving it into a smaller space has helped. It upped the heat from ~70 degrees to ~80 degrees. The soil already seems to be drying fairly quickly. That one yellow leave is pretty much gone. It's wilted fairly badly and is about to fall off. Should I just cut it off?

I'm assuming that ONE leaf being removed won't ruin the rest of it. The rest of the plant seems to be popping back. The leafs popped back up from being so droopy and don't feel quite as dry and crispy.

I'm going to line the cabinet with mylar and change from the three CFLS I have to a hood with 3 or 4 flourescent tubes on a string so I can raise and lower it.

I can only go with 24" tubes as that is as wide a peice of lumber as I can fit horizontally inside the cabinet and it seems like they only make low wattage fixtures at 24". I figure if I can fit 4 40 watt flourescent tubes in there it should be enough.




What lumen or kelvin or whatever the fuck do I want to shoot for?

I take leaves off if they are 75% of more damaged. With it being so young you may not want to cause any stress to it.

The sun is 5150K
MH is like 3500K on averge
HPS I believe is like 2700K

I don't think jesus christ himself could save this leaf. It's more toasted than my brain. The rest of the plant seems to be rebounding fine though .

You think three or four of these in a 25"x16"x36" cabinet would do the trick seed through flower or should I just stick it out w/the CFLs?

I'm on a budget

I think the 6500K is what sunleaves satellite II runs for a grow bulb.
I would flower clones at 4 inches or so if you want to finish small. I never flowered a seed always made mothers so can really say
