should i do anything or just let be?
hey whats going on ?
first of all i would just like to say thanks to everyone...
all of my plants each have a different type ( brand name ) of soil... none of them are miracle grow...
when i bought them i did buy them w/ N > P > K theory, thinking that is what was good for seedlings....
the first 10 pots i did not mix in any perlite, but the bags did come w/ very small amounts..
i've got 3 different PH meters, 2 that work, and none of them are digital, all made for soil... all of my PH levels are between 6.0 and 7.1, none are any higher or lower...
i dont think that overwatering them is an issue, as i heard all newbs have a tendency to overwater, so i made sure i dont.. wait about 4 days AT THE LEAST.. normally 6 or 7 days between watering..
everytime i have given them 1-2 qts of water w/ 2-3 drops of superthrive.. ( maybe too much superthrive )
a couple of waterings back i did give them fish emulsion, not too much, but too much for the first time..
and then 2 waterings ago gave them more water, ST, and half the amount of fish emulsion that i gave them the last time... same 2 qts...
and now this last time ( a week ago ), I gave them water, ST, and epsom salt, just sprinkles..
the a/c unit that is in my house is old, but i just had the guy come out about 3 weeks ago to recharge it, and it is blowing cold, has been...
the grow room is a small walk in closet is about 6.5 ft wide x 4 ft deep x 9 ft tall... the closet is in my room, but the a/c vent for my room is no where near the closet, about 20 ft away..
the lamp is about the half way mark up the wall, so 4.5 ft.... i've got dryer ducting hooked onto the hood of the lamp, and then running up and through the ceiling where it connects to the 300 cfm fan i bought at home depot.. ( i order one that is 425 cfm, it's a real squirrel cage fan )...
i've got a 12 inch fan about 1 ft away from the hole in the hood where it's sucking out air, and the 12 inch is pointed there pushing in all the heat from lamp..
another 12 inch oscilating fan at the foot of the door, blowing air ontop of plants... all fans and lights on 24 hrs a day...
anyways, i hope i answered all questions, and someone can help make them happier..
thanks again!
