Week 1 went alright,the seedling doom was getting a little hot 90-95 F, week 2 took the doom of and it was a little cooled like 70 F .. humidity 20% so I got the humidifier and heat lamp, brought the the temp to 80 F and humidity around 50%. But as you can see my major problem was my lower leafs were going yellow on the tips. But I'm pretty sure thats fertilizer burn I started feeding them to early and I was misting the same fertilizer water on them oops lol I think there gonna be all right I gave them a good flush Ill keep updating

i use 50 percent worm castings and miracle grow and perlite.my plants at 21 days from sprout r 2ft.under 4 42 watt cfls =600watts,but mine r ak 47 that might make a difference.60 days i can take a bud from the bottom an get high as iwant.

looks good man keep it up, you going to use cfls all the way through?

t5s are what I'm using now and what I learned is that quantity is crucial. If im not mistaken, the light penetration on them is less than an HPS so its better to do sog?

Everyone should look at this Journal.. It will take 2 hours to go through lol, just to worn you. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/48874-takin-care-business-prize-winning.html

dude, ditch the t5s and get an hps, if you can afford it lol... me and my friends compared to the two, i used t5 and he used hps and its j ust unmeasurable how much better his results were lol... i yieleded squat after months work, his hps just shat all over my time spent

Depending on your local law inforcement be carefull with HPS. T5s are great if HPS is not an option. If you go HPS do it propa!

OK I'm 30 days in from seed, they didn't grow much from last update because they were stunted from the fert burn but there looking pretty good now,
Still watering with no nutes but I'm going to start using hydrogen peroxide, 30 ml per 1 gallon..
Hopefully next update they will have noticeable growth

plants looking good, hopefully they take off like mine did

Yo, I water them today with some ferts , 1/4 the recommended amount and 10 ml per gallon of hydrogen peroxide, I hope to god they like it , Im kinda regretting it now lol
Picture update in 3 days

why are you regretting it haha

i havnet heard anythen about the seaweed before either bro; idk if that will do anytheN? also hydrogen peroxide? thats good for plant? haha

Well, you're doing good, keep it up...

Ok 5 weeks in they did grow much lol but there doing ok, I trimmed the died leafs on the bottom. Im gonna start using ferts again just 1/4 amount and I also started using super thrive...
One of my plants is taking off I wish they were all that size, hope to god its a female.
The leafs are really small I think that might be a dif like zink or Iron
These plants are so small for 5 weeks, I no but I have hope there going to take of now

So I found out yesterday that my soil PH was really low. like 5.1 ,, Stupid Pro mix I tested straight out of the bag and it was just as bad.. So I add some dolomitic lime to each pot about 1 ML hopefully that brings it up..
The way I tested was Let the soil dry out then take just water with the PH 7.0 run it throughout the pot and then test the PH of the run off,, It should come out 6.5 to 7.0..
