I started these in a dome kit that was structured with coco hair (yuck) under a simple florescent lamp. The seedlings were a bit leggy after a few days. After moving into my tent and under the LED, I had hung my lights too close (18 inches) which seemed to dry out the first node of leaves as they came in (one cracked when touched). There are a couple spots on one leaf as well. So, I decided to move light to about 2 1/2 feet and transplanted into solo cups to help them along. I burried part of the leggy stems during the transplant, using full veg stage nutrients in the solo cups which seems to have burned the plants a bit. Was not sure at what height or power level to use on the Mars Hydro TS 3000 for the seedlings, as documentation online for seedlings under LED lights is not very easy to find. While they have been over fed, and dried out a bit by the lights in the first week, they are eagerly growing through these issues. Next run I will use coco and worm castings only for the seedlings and hang the light two to three feet away. Eager to top, but will wait another week. I did do some very light LST to the seedling stems to toughen them up, as they were leggy in the starter dome. Will do some light squeezing of the stalk only to help toughen them up before transplanting into pots.

Hey all, I mixed together 40L of Coco and 10L of worm castings, and left it sitting with a lid. Sure enough, it has some mold growing on the top. Can I still use this medium or should I just throw it out? (Not broke, but cheap!) Thanks

Venting into large basement area separate from lung room. Averaging 65% RH in tent. How can I vent my grow tent out a century old red brick home's original basement windows discretely? Or, can I vent into an old (capped) chimney without removing the cap? Lung room is 6x10.

Hi mate, if its a proper cap then it should allow air through. Otherwise it will eventually fill the house. Condensation would be another issue as the air will cool by the time it gets up top. Good idea to have a reservoir to catch any water running down inside of flue pipe. If the water is acidic it may attack the flexible flue already in there and cause a riddor reportable event (if in use by any heating appliance) which will mean the hse and any other official they want to find blame as to why a gas flue deteriorated will be paying you a visit. Good luck and happy growing

Does total disolved solids (TDS) matter when growing in coco, worm castings, and organic dry ammendments? Am I at risk of a build up of salts? I have seen 2700 ppm in my current grow, but are these simply not salts and therefore OK? Plants look good happy. TY

I am using 20% worm castings and only organic nutrients in this grow which has provided a simple feeding process based on top dressing only. I do add CalMag every water to ensure the coco is not draining all available calcium and magnesium. I have taken readings throughout the grow, and have seen from 1800 to 7000 ppm, mostly around 3000+ ppm readings. I've had about 5 rusty leaves and the same amount of leaves with burned tips, but I think this was deficiency, not overfeeding. 13 weeks in, these plants are thriving. While I agree TDS matters, watering to 20% run-off and ensuring your TDS is at 700 in veg or 1500 in flower while growing with this medium combination is not necessary, and may leave the plants hungry. Will my yield match a hydro grow? Time will tell. I am sure by dialing in environmental factors and more accurately feeding we could come close, albeit not as quickly.
