First grow.
I ordered my light from ebay.
It came with the light, ballast, reflector, yoyos, and they threw in a free timer.
Its a 400w switchable ballast. Cost around
165 shipped. So, I originally ordered the
light with a HPS, then when I found out the
ballast was switchable, I went and bought
a 400w MH from Home Depot for $40.
I ordered the Fox Farm Trio. Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom.
The plants were outside for about a week
until I had the set up done. No pests
so far from outside. The closet is 5x3.
I have them in smaller pots right now until I am ready to transplant.
They will be in a 30% perlite, 70% soil
mix when transplanted.
For the past 3 days they have been
under 24/0.
Lots of growth since being put under
24/0 from outside.
I have an oscillating fan in there to try
and keep temps down and the AC is
set to 75.
No ventilation so far, will have to figure that out later.
They had their first dose of nutes yesterday.
PPM came to 385.
Still waiting for the PH meter, and Thermometer Hygrometer to come
in the mail.
I will be doing a feed, water feed schedule until I figure out what works best for them.
I found some seeds in a half oz of sensi
star germed them, and I have one plant
out of 7 seeds. Unfortunately, I was
unable to tend to them for about 3 days
and they died. So, I also have a bagseed
growing.
Here are pictures.
And oh, the leaves seem to be stretching
cupping up toward the light.
I think it could be heat stress or low-moisture stress. I can't fix it
until I get my meters in. Any ideas
of what else it could be?
(Picture 5 has a dead plant in it. lol. The dog got to it,
I tried to revive it, but its gone now.)
The third picture is the sensi star.
The second one is bagseed.
