Hi guys this is my first ever grow and unfortunately I didn't happen across this nice site until 2 days ago. I have alot of pictures missing unfortunately but will do what I can to fill in the gaps and keep my diary updated going forward. I used the paper towel method to germ and planted them in 100%coco coir. Which I think I read is considered more hydro. My tent is 120x120x240 cm Using 600w mh and hps with Dimmable ballast Have fan speed controller along with 6" rhino carbon filter and rvk fan. Nutrients are canna a+b and pk13/14 11 litre fabric pots

No photos this week unfortunately but had massive growth. Feeling the pots every day for weight. Tucking leaves behind new growth and checking them regularly.

This is where I'm at so far. Sorry I started this diary late and the previous images are ball park estimates. I'll update weekly from now on. All the help I have received has come from countless research. Rule #1 don't tell

Hello there mate! First time grower too, I wonder if your plants aren't getting heat burned because the edges of that leaves are coming upwards! Diagnose it, usually we give it a ' palm hand test ' ( just put your palm above the top leaves of the plant for a few seconds, if it feels a little hot, it is to ur plants too! ) wish all the luck to that grow, cheers ;)

@420grower420, hi thanks for comment. This pic is old now but apart from looking at little weird she soon perked up. I have not had any problems since she bucked her ideas up yet. I have also purchased dehumidifier now as it's starting to flower and want rh at 50% to avoid mould fungus etc
