Hi, All... what a fun site. I'm so stoked on this growing thing I can hardly think about anything else.
I just started growing about 10 days ago for the first time. I planted a few seeds of schwag, and a couple of bubblegum, figuring I'm probably going to screw up the first time, so don't blow good seed on failure. Plus, my schwag was actually okay smoke, just ugly.
I have my plants in 10" round pots in 100% MiracleGro potting mix in a closet set-up. They're under a 400W MH right now; I have a 400W HPS for when the time comes. All my seeds germ'ed right away, and popped out of the soil in 3-4 days.
My concern is that they seem kind of "stuck", The first two real leaves are out, but they've been like that for almost a week. I had a very gentle fan on them to stiffen up the stems, but I've seen others say not to blow air on seedlings -- wait a couple weeks for this. They're all about 3-4" tall right now, and strike me as pretty thin in the stem. Also, I can't find any specs for pH for the MG Potting (should've figured that out ahead of time, I know...).
The room itself seems to be great -- the MH heats it up to about 80-82 when it's on, and it drops to about 70F when its off. I'm running 18/6 right now. Humidity is about 50%, and very stable.
Any suggestions? Maybe I'm just being impatient..
