Late last week they were looking pretty sick with curling twisting leaves. I put the question out and Mrs Larimar gave me great advise in regards to the heat mat I was using. I removed it and they are looking alot better.
I have installed a small bar heater (37cm long)attached it to a thermostat set to 25c. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the temp above 19c-20c. Heater set to max. Fan set to turn on for 2mins every hour to try and keep the heat in there. Increased the Nutrients this week.
I have ordered som Cal/Mag which should arrive in the next couple of days and will be adding that to its feed.
All said im sort of happy, it seems slow going.
100w LED @ 100% now.
I think I will re-pot next week, no signs of roots coming through the bottom yet.
@Slippy, i take all the stress outta seedling care by using Foxfarm's Bushdoctor coco. its amended and while I feed them a bit, (mostly supplements) just adding water works too!!!
@homerjgangia, Thx Mate, do you have any idea on the nuetrient levels (eg TDS) I should be feeding these seedlings? They have just popped and opened their water leaves 24hrs ago.
looking good, !!! but i would give the girls an airflow instead of binding them, they got to be able to stand alone
shake them softly daily betqeen your fingers, and let them swing in abreeze of the ventilation
@Slippy,iam using the small ceramic infrared heaters with temperature control. but you have to watch these things in such asmall tent its very dangerous
can you isolate the tent from outside?
or heating the room where she stands, because like i said thos little heaters are dangerous, ihave used mine into my growbox, the growbox is made of steel,
I would try to put her on awarmer spot, into awarmer room
all thhe other options are tricky
@Mrs_Larimar,
Thx 4 the advise I will do that, I think I need a larger/betterheater so I can leave the ventilation fan running constant ot atleast 5min on 5min off. Our temp in Australia has dropped to about 19cday 10cNight. Can you recommend a heater for a 60x60x160 tent.
Fan/ceramic/Bar?
@Mrs_Larimar,
Thx 4 the heads up, there is mould growing on the surface of the cocco, so I'm obviously being too generous with watering. I have never really let it dry out, as I know u should.
I would take away the heatmat iam sure it causes the troubles, well 15 degree is not alot but its enough, in dytime they have it warmer .....so everything is fine
i think your heatmat dried them and yoou got an imbalance of the ph that way,,,
and look at the roots, if they are still nice and white
