Hi!
please bear with me this is only my second post (my first one being when i just put this message in the wrong place ) lol
okay, where to start. I am a recently widowed 30something from seattle.
Always wanted to try to grow since am not doing anything else at the moment. Since i dont have a lot of hobbies i decided to try to create a nice setup. so i got a darkroom grow tent and a 600w hps/mh with an air cooled lamp. ( i think thats the right term)
i read about growing hempy style and people said it was a good way for beginners, so off i went.
used a few bagseeds and then also some from a seedshop started them in jiffypellets and now they are in 2l bottles in a mix of perlite and vermiculite (about 4:1) anyway, they have never looked healthy to me and since i am not much of a gardener anyway, this isnt too surprising.
right now i am watering every 3-4 days. i give them a flush every 3rd watering or so (meaning just h20 until its coming out the drain hole)
the other waterings i give about a halfcup of water w/ nutes
(am using 10ml gh bloom and 5ml gh micro pergallon.)
what else?
The temp has been pretty constant in the 76-78 range.
right now the tallest one is about 22 inches from the light the shortest is prob 27 inches or so.
they are on a 21/3 schedule
I started this all about the 9th of September.
i dont know anyone in real life to come over and show me what to do so am hoping for maybe some advice
i hope the pics show my problem areas. i.e. disclored leaves and the underneath vegetation browining off and dying![Sad :sad: :sad:](/styles/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
thanks
