Basically I'm taking this as new hobby. I don't smoke but since I was 16 that I wanted to embrace a grow project. 18 years later, decided to get my hands to the work, bearing in mind that it should be as simple as possible.
Ordered 3 easy bud seeds, germinated all 3, only 2 survived on the soil, mostly because of my technique. For me, it's all about learning so I did some experiences. 3 different soils, 3 different planting techniques and this is the result so far. The one that died, was due muddy soil, so she drown. No oxygen.
Started this project with a simple indoor greenhouse, 160x40x60cm size, 2 daylight lamps 11 watts, 6300 kelvin and roughly 700 lumen each, 1 usb cooling fan. Distance from the lamps to the seeds +20 centimetres, which you can see on day 3, we had a lot of stretching (video). Nevertheless, started to see some life!!!
Decided to take the project more seriously. We are now on the day 4, with a new setup. Adequate soil, carefully buried both plants in bigger vases and new lights.
4 cfl lamps, 1297 lumen, 97 watts and 6300 kelvin. I was about to buy the cfl pure light lamp 125 watts but found these cfl's at leroy merlin. I wanted to keep this low budget/experimental project as much as possible, therefore after doing some calculations I found that with these 4 lamps I would roughly get the same lumens and watts I would get with the pure light lamp.
Happy Growing.
Yellow spot found today. Only one spot in one leaf.
Shoud I prune the whole leaf or wait a few more days to see if she recovers? It is a main leaf though.
Any help is much appreciated.
Looks to be a very small blemish quite possibly from a drop of water on ur leaves during light hours. Either way if isolated to the one spot nothing to worry about. Definitely dont need to remove the leaf. But I would monitor the leaf and plant for new or worsening symptoms. Some times leaving the deficiency or problematic leaves on the plant helps to identify if u have ailed the plant. Or more action is required.
@GreenBeanGrowMachine, thanks! It has been a pleasant experience so far. Watch how they grow so fast and react to the environment, to everything. First week is done. Let's start a new one! Happy growing
@Germano, yes I know but maybe on a later stage. I just spent around 9EUR in these 4 lamps. It was impossible to get led lamps as cheap as this.
The greenhouse I'm using was something that I already had at home, where my wife was growing some garlic and beans. ๐
I will see how this project develops and if doing well, eventually I will buy a grow tent with a good setup. I'm just trying to see how this is done.
Thanks for the advice anyway! Much appreciated.
One of the easy buds is already showing some signs of the third set of baby leafs showing. I believe that over the next 24/48 hours, the third set will sprout. This is amazing!
Meantime, I've planted some sunflowers too, just to keep them on the window. Germinated and let the first set of leafs grow inside the greenhouse and now moved them outside to the window. I'm closely following the developments of these guys too. ๐ It is all about #stayathome
Also to note that I found a huge promotion CULTIBOX LIGHT 60X60X140 tent, which I immediately ordered. It was 50% off price. At least I can return the greenhouse to my wife. ๐
@@KushyToker75, hello! yes she did resolve herself. Despite the information you may find over the internet in my opinion it is due lack of water or too much light/heat for their size. We should go easy on the seedlings. Happy growing!
I kid you not . Not only has mine leaf curl but has 1 tiny spot on her too . Think it was a water droplet on lights on that maybe magnified and burnt it ๐
