Thanks man !!!!
Ur welcome. Oh and on using Botanicare, there is a "pure blend pro expert feed schedule" for soil, follow that one, the expert is if u plan to use CalMag, liquid karma, etc, regular schedule shows amounts for Grow/Bloom only. I'd say you'd be at week 3-4 in ur medium so start at 75% or so based on how ur girls look. It's mild strength meant to be used with every watering. a little runoff is important. You can water only with ocean forest in the beginning and only as much as the container will hold. when you start feeding you feed every time and the runoff helps flush salts (nutes form salts). Growweedeasy.com has a beginners guide, strongly recommended reading it, watering is covered

Hey guys up date I had only 2 seeds germ so I got 2 fruit punch's all the super lemon haze died but I got one more super lemon haze and fruit punch seed left which I'm going to germ other 2.

The humidity will go up when you get larger pots in there. For now just keep them moist but not too moist. Look up damping off. To me sprouts are the trickiest part of growing. Another thing you could try with the seeds is soak them in a glass of water until they sink then plant them pointy side down in moist soil. Skip the paper towel all together. Just watch for bubbles that could stick to the seeds and keep them afloat. I don't recommend soaking for more than 12 hours. I know someone will say different but that's how I roll and if you do it the way I said you wont drown the seeds.

Hey doc what about them folks that say pointy side should face up because taproot does a 90?

I've had some tap roots grow right out of the soil when I planted upside down. So I don't care what those guys say. Try it my way and see what you think.
I prefer shot glass to soil as well. Heat mat and moisture then light

Well i came in to a problem my t5 ho bulbs are 52 or 54 watt a piece have 4.
Well i had the light 3 inches from them and never thought about putting hydro meter or mechanical temp buy plants well it was over 90 so i might have caused some heat stress as now one plants leafs are pointing up. So i raised light up 19 inchs from plant tops and maintains 81 f is that ok ?
Also i put jiffy mini green house top back on with cracks on both end to try to help with humidity which is at 33% now with a cool mist humidifier running

Hey ur saying a t5 4 bulb unit gave 90 degree temps?? what the room temp variance where tent is located? 19 inches is why too far for T5, please clarify light and 90 temps

well room was 76 degrees what the hydro meter said but when I moved them by plants it went very high in 90's..
and I didn't even put plants in tent they just sitting on a table with light hanging above should I move into tent?

if u look at pic at top u can see how close I had it before

I moved light down to 3 inch's from plastic dome on seedling tray and I turned room heater down from 74 to room steady at 70 see how that works

Well Im going to try my first grow. I have read a lot of forms and watched alot of videos but would like your alls thoughts on this set up and my plans.Before u guys start reading this I do want to say sorry for my piss poor grammar.
Thanks for reading!!

Tent 4x4x80

light 600 watt hps/mh Dimmable reflector with cool tube 6 inch

IPower 6-Inch Air Carbon Filter
IPower 6-inch INLINE DUCT FAN blower 430 CFM
25-Feet Uninsulated Aluminum Ducting
fan speed controller

3 female super lemon haze seeds
3 heavyweight Fruit Punch seeds
I plan on using fox farms soil and nutes since this my first try
fox farms ocean forrest with 20% perlite

Im not sure on how many plants to put in there but thinking 4 max in 5 gallon pots
Going to top them and keep them at 12 inch's before switching to flower. What do u guys think?
tent is in a non heated or cooled 10x10 room built in garage( garage stays 20 degrees warmer then out side)
I did install window ac unit on wall for cooling
Now on to heating i thought about taking a Oil-filled Radiant Heater and puting into tent and setting on a timer to come on when lights out. What do u guys think?

Sounds good...take the lowers and label the cuts for future mother plants...I use a 32 site ez-cloner and keep a 24hr baby room going they sit under a 400w MH in a 4x4 flood table.
You should add a dehuey to the tent and a 1500w electric heater works fine

You wont need the fan speed controller, the fan will need to be on full blast whenever the 600 hps is on and even then it may not do a very good job of keeping temps below 82 + degrees.

The best advice I can give is having a problem chart pritty close to you and daily check up on leafs, leafs stems and the stem in general.....

If you look carefully the plant will tell you what she would like next it took me 13months and now I can grow nice beautiful budds, and I still cock up lol

This is the site
http://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-cannabis-nutrient-and-deficiency-table-n88

I use for starters to see what's the problem or what I think it is
Then move to( grow weed easy) sorry I don't have that link but easily found on Google and type read up they have a bigger list on what's causing the issue more easy to narrow down the issue and where you are going wrong.

Hope it helps, good luck and welcome buddy
Goodness Labs...what is this cock up statement mean?

sounds fine just don't over water. 78 is good

I checked on them this morning temps was 68 room temp so i increased heater temp. Thats with light on not sure what temp is right at plant didnt check. I think this cool mist humidfier causeing temp to go down. But heck it is cold here lol

Definitely check the temps at plant level. You don't need a fan blowing on them right now, those little plugs will dry out too fast. This part is really delicate. You don't want to saturate and you don't want them bone dry either. The pics looked a little wet.
