Growing from seed - just popped up,germinated in soil 1cm deep in a propagator with a
reptileseedlings heating mattress (from ebay item #292119124101) under the propagator to retain
25 degrees celcious,its winter here and day temps can be as low as 13 degrees.
Spraying gently 6 ph water once in two days into propagator an onto seedlings gently to maintain
70%-90% humidity levels.
in a few days will move to grow room with 2 X 250w MH + MarsHydro reflector 192 on full spectrum on
18 on and 6 off for veg.
Will update from grow room next week
moved to the grow room in 2 litre pots,2 units of 250w mh each for 18 hours on + mars 192 reflector that works at this stage only 6 of the 18 hours.
have 2 temperature monitors and one of them (ebay item #332472350186 works great) controls thermostatically a 400w oil radiator which engages at or below 19 celcious to keep cold out at lights off. (night outside temp can be 7-11 degrees)the 18 hours on are done during night to keep warm room and 6 hours off during day,that method has proven itself in the past for me with best results.
a few small vents in the room to keep airflow + larger intake vent
Installed YI Home Camera wifi connected that gives me a quick look from anywhere i'm at.
started furts,will move to 5 gal container and top soon
this girl has started dropping the leaves lately and have a few brown yellow spots on lower leaves.
so i decided to heat up to dry the soil faster and give furts for the first time and she responded good
after 2 days recovery seems at place and leaves are healing and upcoming leaves look strong
spots are not expanding
flowers begins to form.lower leaves are slowly dying and yellowing on other parts but it looks normal as energy is set to flowers and not to growing.streching is done.
Any ideas about more nitrogen? or just proceed with bloom ferts?
getting more ferts to them....
crystals build-up....
from now on,flowering only with 2 X 250w hps and removed the 400w led due to warmer climate outside
@softsecrets,here's what i (was) am doing:
i started flowering full power with 500w (2 X250w) HPS and mars 400w led reflector all together..
as spring has threatened to lift the night temps (which is when i am lights on) i needed to let go one light which was hps or led...decided to let go led this time and since week 4 flowering i went on with 500w hps only...that kept my room stable at 25-27c during light on.
i think i mentioned it earlier in one of my diaries - ROOM TEMP IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIGHT INTENSITY
