It's been hectic in the grow room. Finally have these ladies in solution and beginning to show some vigor. The ugly leaves are not a concern right now because I am relatively sure that the deficiencies that I see are from germination, transplanting and them wanting Nutrients before I wanted to let them have em.
Looking at the emerging leaves they are smooth, consistent healthy green color and are showing some vigorous growth. We hope to leave ugly behind.
Going to keep my ppm around 600 and see how they respond. I would like to have a good strong Vegetative cycle for just over 30 days.
Stuck extra sprouts in soil. I didn't plan on 100% germination. Although 2 strains, in the tent, are reg seeds not sexed so, I could wind up eliminating a few plants.
Heat is going to be an issue with this grow if I don't address it very shortly. I think I am going to try a window unit located in this room and vented under the house to a crawlspace. This might solve both temp and humidity issues associated with my region. It may actually give me a considerable amount of environmental control over this room (flower) and adjacent room (Veg).
I am going to change reservoir often be consistent with Hydrogaurd and maximize the timing on lights (to reduce heat)
Hey nice garden bro, is this your first run with that Medic Grow 1000 Watt light? I am running their Spectrum X 880 watt light now but its my first run. How do you like the light so far?
@Tweezer, Thanks for kind words. My first run also. All plants (9) 4 in RDWC seem to have loved it in Veg. I have not cranked up to 100% yet and I might not. The 80% setting has been working great. I shall see how the plants flower. My first impression of the light is very good. Now... I have nothing to compare it to but it does heat my room up quite a bit. Well, I guess I should expect that. I hung the light high and I have not moved. Fingers still crossed but I believe this to be a good purchase. I wish the same and better for you. Good luck, gonna check you out now! I meant to mention... I am in a 6x6 with reflective walls. Basically, a tent, and the light covers this area completely. I have different size pots, but I am confident this light is enough for the entire room.
