Hey guys, I just recently decided to try to grow my own. For my first grow I'm just using bagseed, so as not to waste money incase I mess something up. I'm also starting 12/12 straight from seed. I don't have much to work with; so far I have:
150w HPS
2x 26w daylight cfl
I know right off the bat from reading so many other journals that many of you are going to tell me to get a 400w or more cfl's ect. but right now that is not an option. A few weeks down the line i may hook up another extension cord so I can have more cfl's.
Anyway, getting to the point, my baby isn't looking so good. She (hopefully a she) is growing her fourth pair of leaves, but when I see other pictures of seedlings on here it seems other plants have much bigger leaves by this stage. Also, she is showing two weird spots on her first set of true leaves, one of which is drooping straight down. I thought at first it was a ph problem, but my meter is reading between 6.7-7. Then again, I have a cheap 6 dollar ph meter from home depot, not sure how accurate that is.
I started her in miracle grow moisture control soil because I couldnt find FFOF anywhere, and she looked really healthy except that she was this weird yellow-green color. I made the trip to PA to the nearest hydro store and bought roots organics soil, which I've read good things about. Transplanted and she resumed growing normally. (Or so I thought)
Anyway, I apologize for the wall of text. Does she look alright? I think she is more sativa-ish due to the thin leaves and her heat tolerance.(grow room temps are 80-90 with the lights on, but she is showing no signs of heat stress) Am I just being impatient? It just seems that most plants have much bigger leaves before they begin developing new ones. Heres some pics. Last one is of the whole setup, she was leaning into the cfl so i rotated the pot 180 degrees in hopes she'll lean back the other way and straighten up. Also, the hps is closer sometimes, when I can keep temps down. I put a Y-socket adapter in shortly after the pictures were taken, so now I have some more blue light.
