TLDR psssh, just some newb being all newby
3 out of 4 bagseeds popped, 1 was really dark and fermented? i think it was called.
Babies have hatched and are in there solo cups with FFOF + 25-30% perlite, with a tiny layer of perlite on the bottom over the holes, under a 300W marshydro light in a 2x2x4 tent, currently 12 inches from the light with a temp. and humidity staying about 77-83.5F and 40-50%. I have some pretty clean and good drinking Well water with a PH of 5.8 out the tap, leaving it out for 12 hours brought it to like 6.2.
QUESTION 1: Whats the deal with distilled water? with FFOF for seedlings for a few weeks, would that be preferable to any kind of tap/well water?
QUESTION 2: From the name and description, light burn is what it sounds like? as long as my thermometer is reading at plant level in the 75-84F range, the height from the light can be whatever fits that range without going over 85-90F+?
I live in a relatively hot climate and for now am just trying to get my feet wet so I needed to stay small and indoors, only space available is a utility room and insulation value in it and the house is frankly garbage lol. So i got a small 5000btu window ac unit. I also have a 3x3x7 tent in the room that will be the main tent soon, I am running it at the same 18/6 intervals as the other tent, with 3 pepper plants in it (mmm..peppers), in order to get the whole room balanced/stabilized. It has 4 marshydro300w and cfm carbon/filter/fan.
Currently I am venting into 2x2 tent(located right near the AC exhaust), threw to the 3x3, and out the top to the fan which is mounted high and blowing the hot air near ceiling level in the same utility room. My thinking is that I know I am going to need the AC no matter what, and by venting back into the room the hot air will meet the low humidity AC and give me a few % of moisture back. (also the window is way undersized and I cant take the top leaf out and this more than likely only be a training room for a year or so, dont really wanna take the window out)
QUESTION 3: If I can keep humidity at 40-50% and stabilized, will that be too detrimental to the younglings? I've got water and rags and sponges in there and at best I seem to pull 50%.
Thank you to anyone that happened to have read all that
and I am open to any and all suggestions, other than going and buying much better stuff
for now I am trying to learn.(In time for when my GG seeds get here![Big Joint :bigjoint: :bigjoint:](/styles/smilies/smoking.gif)
P.S. I'm really not sure about the whole pictures posting thing atm..these phones/computers are so much smarter than me...
