Specs:
12/12 from seed micro grow experiment.
Box is 2ft. high x 2ft. deep x 4ft. wide., equipped with intake and exhaust pc fans.
125w CFL 2700K, & 2 supplementing 23w CFLs.
6 bagseeds (all different bags) sprouted in rockwool, then in 50/50--coco coir/perlite and coco pots.
Nutes:
was:
Botanicare Silica blast - 7ml./gal.
Botanicare pureblend ProGro - 7ml./gal
Just mixed new gallon of:
Botanicare Silica blast - 15ml./gal.
Botanicare pureblend ProGro - 15ml./gal
Botanicare pureblend ProBloom - 7ml./gal
Bullshit talk:
I ran a single plant in this ridiculously restrictive stealth mini(almost micro) grow I have with a full 4 weeks of veg and found that even with extensive LST there was simply not enough room for a plant that size.
I've read a considerable amount of threads on this and other sites on 12/12 from seed and I understand all of the pros and cons so dont bother trying to tell me it doesnt work. This is my experiment to see if i can keep a continual 1-2Oz. harvest each month solely for personal use. In a single box the only way for me to reasonably do this is by keeping the entire box 12/12.
The issue Im having is only with one plant, the oldest of them all. She is 12 days since sprouting and I recognize she is small (given that she is only recieving 50% of the light she would at this stage on 24/0). Her first set of true leaves (singles) are yellowing and curling upward. I need to know if this looks like heat damage or nutrient issues. Normally I could deduce it myself, but she is so young she may be worthless if I dont address it quickly (when doing 12/12 from seed you cant afford any stunting)
the reason it may be heat damage is because the box sometimes overheats if a fan gets stopped up or blocked. A few days ago it got up high to 92 before I had a chance to water. all the plants were fine aside from this one who was drooping heavily and took something like 8 hours to perk up again after watering and fixing the overheat.
The reason I am giving such a relatively heavy nute schedule to such young plants is because they all have worked through their cotyledons and seem to be ready to start vegging. with 12/12 from seed it still has a veg phase but its much smaller, and all the phases seem to come a little early.
so does it look like over/undernutes or residual damage from the overheat she experienced (her new growth seems green and nice but she is totally stunted)
Thanks in advance!
