hi folks.
sory for english...

my setup:
2*400w philips metal halide (http://tinyurl.com/yjn3kde)
2m*1,5m homebox
300 m3/h carbonfiltre/duct fan set
48 pot


my nutrients:
General Hydroponics flora series

my soil mix:
55% gartengold substrate 1
15% perlite
15% hydroton
15% vermiculite


this is my first time growing. seedlings are 4 days ago. plants are looking good but a few plants are bending over, looks like these photos:








what's wrong? why are these plants bending over and looks weak? please help... my area is very small for 48 pots but this is temporary state, i will build greenhouse larger than this homebox (next month).



another problem is the temp issue. check this out:




is this temp/hum is true? where should i locate multimeter's probe? so like this is it true locate? under direct light:




thanks for assistance.

Hi dude, as for the bending part - put some more dirt into your pots so your plant is buried more in the soil. I think they are bending because they are streaching for the light which is (if I read your pics correctly) way too high above the seedlings

your young plants are definitely stretching because the lights are too far away.

you put your temperature probe at the top of the plants but shielded from direct light

pots are fine. Plants are fine. I woulda started them in smaller cups and then transplanted into those 3 gallon pots. But they are good to go now. You should be rdy for nutes in a week or so.

ready for nutes? ya mean nutrients?
i have already used GH Flora Series nutrients dude. here is schedule:



they are average rates created by me. i have found 3 different schedules for GH flora series on the GH web site, RIU and marijuanapassion.com. and averaged the rates.

There is only one online store to selling GH series in my country, i have purchased to that buyer. 500ml Grow, 500ml Bloom, 500ml Micro included set for 65TL (~$45). I think this is very expensive but 2 days local shipping you know. International shippings have a long run.
