day 11

I watered my plant not really WATERED but just got the soil wet, they dry out really fast under the lights and with the fan going. it was 73% after 4 hours of lights out, with 33% humidity. I switched all 4 of my lights over to lights that put out 6500k each. so I have four 6500k lights on them for 18 hours of light.

check it.

Too strechy ,wont give u much at all. Put them out in the sun (after a week hardening tiny cfl to blazing sun is quite a jump) in a nice hole. Ithink its too streched for artif lighting now. Outside for that poor girl.

Higher temps are ok as long as the humidity stays low, as yours is doing.

Please plan on odor control once they start growing. They WILL smell in the veg state.

hey whats up man, you need to get your temps down, but im surprised noones told you this piece of advice already... you need to scrap that tin foil..one, it creates hot spots which can burn your babies in the future, 2. tin foil, even tho it looks shiny to us, is actually less reflective than flat white paint, or any flat white surface, you'd be better off going and buying thick poster board at walmart or an arts and crafts store and lining the box with that instead.

or if u have money order 2mm mylar film its about 96% reflective i believe

also let you soil dry out a bit, don't mist them when they are under the lights, the droplets act as a magnifying glass and intensify the light on those spots of the leaves, just causes stress. Now some people do foliar feed their plants when theres lights on them, but to help avoid the droplets they add an bit of regular soap to the water before they spray

my soil drys out within 6 hours, I barley water when I do. I'll deff have to get rid of the foil that is something I didn't know and misting the leaves. I read that your suppose to mist them.. as for my temps I thought 80 was good. I know I'm a little high but I've seen people growing in temps of 90. I can't really put vents in since I rent and its in my gfs dads room haha so as for now all i can do is have the door cracked and the fan going to blowout the air and move the air around the closet. also the tips are yellow because I believe I nut burnt them. no more nut for awhile.

I have update photos as well just gotta go on the other computer.

80's ok, i think 84 is to high, some people do grow with 90 but they probably have to inject Co2 as well. When your water, you need to do it really good, just water it until you have a good 10-20% run off out of the bottom of the pot, then you won't have to water it for 3-4 more days, its better to do it this way. You don't have to take my word for it, theres plenty of info on this site alone that'll tell you the same thing.

oh no i understand, I did that with my last and way way way way over watered so im just watching out and always keep them nice and wet i check them every 6 to 8 hours. I really need to get into a better place so i can set a full closet up the way id really like to. I also placed the temp out side of the box and the room was 80% solid that was with the lights on for 10 hours at least.
