I've started again after the premature attempt to germ/veg under florescents. Simpley toooooo cold here to make that work.
Have the babies in the tent under 1000W HPS- only way to keep them warm and safe. I know this isn't ideal as a MH is better suited for this stage of the game- but I've read I can do the whole grow under the light I have.
Edited: There is now also another 600W HPS in the room. 6.5 X 6.5 tent.
Had really good germination rates using water/ and paper towel method. The blueberry is still a tough one to get going for me. The two Diesel strains seem to be going gangbusters.
I do notice that the stems are stretching straight up now that everyone is through the dirt. The light is currently about 1.5 -2 feet above the babies. I'm worried if I get them any closer they will suffer from the heat.
I think I read somewhere that if it isn't too hot for the back of my hand it should be OK.
Ave temp in tent is 73 degrees and that is with ballast inside, light and a 600w oil heater. Have lights on 24hrs.
I'm really doing a lot of documenting this time so I can learn and compare the results with my previous attempts.
There are also 3 bushy little ones in addition to the babies.
Any and all comments/advice welcome.
