First time Grower: Nevile's Haze & Arjan Haze #1

Hi everybody.
First of all nice site & community, keep it up & green!

I was in Amsterdam for a month starting with Christmas and in the last few days of my holiday, after a chat with a friend back home, i decided to attempt a grow.
A quick goggle & a long read made me choose sativas as i enjoy more the head high than body stone..
Some more help from our beloved goggle got me to Greenhouse Seed Company for a handfull of reasons: Mix packs of seeds, good name, nice Hall of Fame and a terribile colection of YouTube movies.
I got a sativa mixpack of five strains: Super Silver Haze; Arjans' Strawberry Haze; Arjan's Haze #1; Nevile's Haze; Hawaiian Snow.



Back home and up in my attic i've start building from 5cm (2'') thick polyester blocks a house for my babies. Version 1.0 had 100x50x50cm (that is 3.2'x1.6'x1.6') and was placed on top of my room ventilation hole so they can get heat & CO2. I've also throw inside the controller of my house central heating system as i enjoy a steady temp of 22-23 celsius..so my babies will get a steady 25.



I choose to plant only two seeds so if i fuck up i will still have some left. They germinate next day so i drop each on a 6 litre container with soil.





The soil i got from a garden shop and i mix some sand in it. Two days later the miracle happened and i got two kids. I've changed the really small fluo with a bigger one that i both from a fish shop as i could not find any grow lights specially made for plants.

I take my babies out in the sun when is really sunny outside.. but here (eastern europe) the temps are still in the 60's range (F) or 15 Celsius.

I'm doing a mistake?

I take them out because i only have a 150 Hps.

One more question: For now (still in veg) is better 150Mh or 150HPS?

i start running into problems...

My Neville's haze has droopy leafs, some strange swellings where the brances go out of stem and purple brances & stem...


also the leafs have a strange shape: they are folding up.

I did the mistake of feeding them twice the label dosage of nute (NPK=13-4.5-6.5) on friday and after measuring the moisture in soil on saturday i've put some 1/2 liter of plain water.. so in the end the dosage of nute went to label spec.





this is my other plant ...no purple (except for some on upper branches) no wierd swelings but a litle bit of that folding on upper leafs.




PLEASE HELP!

Ok.. quick update..
I've took the advice from some people here @ RIU and went back to MH & stoped taking them out... they are thriving now!
10 inches now and looking really healthy!
Also today I've plugged a hose in my central heating exhaust and the other end to my grow room for some CO2.
I'll make a photo update with all the progress (have to pick some batteries for my camera.)

The bulge's on the nodes are from the LST they are kinda like our biceps. Once we start working out the get bigger. LST is AWESOME, the nodes look like that even when dry lol its pretty funny. Plants are looking pretty good. Starting to get a lil squirlly on ya huh?

Trust me.. lots of squirlly feelings.. I've never worked, not in the way of have to wake up in tha morning, go to work, come back... so i'm used to sleep well in to the afternoon ..now every day I wakeup at 7am, i think that from the light timer, make coffee, actually go in to the attic and then make coffee and then all my day revolves around them.. no sign from my girlfriend for 3 days now :sleep:

Lol. Ya don't go messing up going in the room to much. That was my problem at first I was so infatiated with them that I couldn't leave them alone. Also I find it better to only visit the attic twice a day I notice more new growth.

I rather go once a day.. but... DO YOU THINK IS POSIBLE?!?
I will start some work in few days.. some relief ..huh!

Until then the only think that is keeping me out of the attic is RIU. :cuss:

Before I've repaired my computer i was standing in the attic with two small hoses in my mouth blowing CO2 to them :eyesmoke:

Hell no lol once a day would be close to impossible especially if you live where your op is set up. I could see if it was a remote op or something ya know?

You need to make co2? I wasnt sure if thats what yo uwere trying to do.. If so why not just make a little co2 with yeast?

Hows the humidity of the plant? I was thinking maybe your light is so close and they are curling together because they are trying to shake themselves from the sun... your hps :) I could be wrong, but that is just something to think about.
