Do you know this feeling, when you get surrounded with a flame of excitement or inspiration so you may do some stupid things, because your mind is thinking just in half?
I know it very well. In a rush I bought the cheapest china-made heating carpet (which is designed to heat plants btw) and payed for it with blood and flesh of my baby plants and of a polished ikea drawer.
So I got fire in my flat, yeah. No worries! We already have plenty of snow here, so fire cannot be a real problem until spring at least.
Meanwhile I fed my plants with a bit of fertilizers, which was a mistake. Now I know it. I flushed everyone and now give them only water for a little once in 3 days.
The Gorilla Cookie has stunned growth, hope she will recover. Other ones... are hopeless, so am I...
I'm sorry you're reading this. It may be the most depressing grow diary you ever read. But now I see this diary is the reflection of my life, of my relationships with people and I think I have some problems to deal with. Thank you for beeing with me, my friends
How much light does a seedling need? How many watts? Is it better to have one bulb but closer to a plant, or 4 bulbs and higher from a plant?
Does it matter how many plants are under the light if they don't shade each other? Do plants "steal" rays so its better to have 1 plant?
All depends on the type of light you’re using. Seedlings don’t need much at all but later in Veg you’ll need more. Look up PAR or photosynthetically active radiation and PPFD. Photons are almost like a shower head of water hitting the canopy. There’s all types of factors to it. But no other plants aren’t actively stealing the photons.
If you have a decent LED light and wanna spend get this app called Photone and it gives you a reading in PPFD from your phones camera.
You wanna be around
2-300 umols for seedling
500ish for veg
750-1000 for optimal growth in flower
Your plant looks stressed and only partially flowering is environment all ok I'd scrap that and start again good luck growing maybe its the lights no good for flowering and you need better equipment for your babys
