Well here goes, this is my 1st grow , decided to do 250w Hps from beginning to end. Journal is starting late as this is day 18 from sprouting. This is all random seedbags gathered from several friends, supposably 2 or 3 out of the 9 plants are some good. First grow didnt want to spend too much money so decided to just get hps for now to do the job and random seeds, so if they die fuck it.
Closet is 7'W x 2'D x 7'H, 2 sliding doors, only using half the closet tho, carpeted floor thru some shelf boards down
Started about Feb 12
germinated in wet paper under bowl (15 out of 30 seeds), then into grodan rockwool cubes, 3rd day when half of them were about an inch, cat got to them pulled half of them right out the rockwool, chewed some leaves, destroyed a few tops and roots. Oh yeah the cat caught it hard lmao at 3am!!!
9 out of the 15 recovered.
Round 7th day had the 250w hps light around 12 inches, burnt the leaves, heat got up to the mid 90s. Immediately did research thru in my 20 inch fan, raised light to 17" above highest leaf, put bowls of water everywhere to raise humdity
Around 18th day now- Today my temps are 83 with my closet door open, fan running with light 18/6, humidity 37%, ph 6-6.5 guess with cheap drop tester, watered 2 days ago with 1/4 dose of botanicare Pro Blend Grow ,2 liter of water with one teaspoon of nutes fed all 9 plants, didnt get no water runoff. Soil is Roots Organics by Aurora mixed with perlite
Last night, lights off temp:68 , humdity 65%. hung some wet shirts, and socks just touching water in bowl , have a pot of water with shirt hanging above light, heavy, not falling now where
4 plants in 2 gallon pots, other 5 in dixie cups, random grow sizes, 2 havent made no progress but they are alive, one of the plants are 4 inches tall, 9 wide, have paper between soil and leaves to reduce the chance of mold. Its cool all the plants look different some tall/short, leggy/bushy, thin/fat leaves and dark/light/ or burnt leaves
would appreciate some pointers for the newbie, my plants have gone thru several issues and would like to head in the right direction. said a lot I think, kno I probably missed somethings, just wanted to be detailed n brief. Help me out guys
Fan leaves are turning yellow to gold, then falling off. Im at week 6-7 in flowering, I read this is common but they are yellowing and falling quick.........
