hi everyone, i am an aussie grower and am having some problem with my first grow.
I have set up a simple little cupboard grow room, first i knocked up a centre wall for my cupboard so i could still use half of it for shelving and to make sure t isnt that noticeable i still have some clothing in one side, the other half i have opened up so it is full height of the cupboard and half width, i have a half cut polystyrene box with 9 plants sitting in it all in seperate pots, i have no reflect sheets in my cupboard and only 1 white wall but i have a full length mirror inside it on the side that gets less light, i have a 200 watt integral ballasted light that i believe would be sufficient for the whole grow including flowering, my first problem i ran into was i didnt have enough time to set my light as low as it should be so my plants were stretching out so i tipped them at 4th nodes and have done that every time i see another 2 nodes present so i am keeping them at 4 nodes high, i have just been able 2 lower my light to the plants yesterday and have tipped atleast 3 times so far and just started lst yesterday also, i am currently buying some emergency blan because nkets of the net and was wondering what site was cheapest(remember i live in australia), the next problem i ran into was i noticed my leaf tip going yelow and 2 have gone brown, it is only the very tip but im unsure as to what is causing the problem, i have them in a normal soil i aquired from deep in the earth under my massive old as compost pile in back yard it should be quite high in nitrogen because i only seem to have problems arising in last week and they are over 2 months old, i am unsure of strain but i know they are a sativa because they are real quick to shoot up and stems are very elongated, i noticed one of my plants is stunted and under examination of watering noticed bugs in soil so i gave it a good flush with water and ended up with bugs flying and jumping all through grow room, i have some bates solution spray which is supposed 2 fix this problem but dont know if its safe 2 use?, i am really baked right now and cant think of anything else as of yet but here are my photos and any help or comments would be greatly appreciated thanx.
