hey guys -
This is my first grow, and I would love some feedback from you guys to know what I'm doing right/wrong!
I germinated 3 seeds (bag seeds), and planted the germinated seeds on July 1st ( 5 days ago).
I am growing in my closet with 4x 45 Watt Cool White CFL's a few inches from the top of the sprouts. I have a fan in the closet moving the Air Around, and a second fan blowing air from the bottom of the closet UP towards an opening at the top of the closet. I am building a GROW box to move the plants in, to better air/exhaust/odour - but my setup is working for now. I hope to have my box finished in 5-7 days when my parts come in that I have ordered.
Planted with Organic Ready to use Soil Mix - African Violet Mix by Premium Nature Mix (HORTIBEC). Ingredients: Peat Moss, humus,Compost, Perlite
For now my Temps are between 84- 88F (A bit high? , is that okay for this early in development?) and I am watering once/day (small watering with Spray bottle (fish water from fish tank). I am not watering very much to avoid over watering, the soil obsorbs the water very fast, and the weight of the pot does not increase.
Things SEEM to be going well - I have not added any nutes or food, and have had steady growth thus far
QUESTIONS/HELP!:
-My temps are in the mid 80's, and sometimes hit 88/89. When I turn the lights off over night the TEMP drops to the mid/high 70's. Is this TOO high?! I know this is on the "high side" - but i am on a budget for now, and dont want to make any major ajustments until my box is finished.
-My stem is somewhat purple (see pics) Is this a bad thing?
-Should I be adding any nutes or food to the plant at this point?
-Do I need to add light to the side of the plant this early? I have other lighting, but dont think they require extra lighting at this stage - Am I wrong?
Thanks a LOT guys - this website is kickass
