First things first, load a bowl!
For the most part they seem to be very healthy over all, with the exception of one plant that's a bit droopy with some leafs curling down on one or two other plants.
Eight of the three week old (from germination) White Widow plants are in subcools first super soil mix at about 75% strength. The other three are in plain Roots Organic two of which are U/k strain. Nine are in 7gal pots, the two u/k are in 5gal pots and are a few days behind the WW.
All of these plants have been under light #1 on 24/7 at 18"-22" from the the tops of the plants.
( have three 6'x5' 6" grow chambers two of which I am still working on the enviroment in. I will be able to seperate all if need be?)
Light #1 Hoods are 8" Sun Mags, Switchable Galaxy ballast, 1000w Hortilux MH bulb.
Light #2 Not running yet but is the same with the exception of a 1000w Hortilux HPS bulb.
Light #3 Is the same as Light #2 also not running yet.
I have an 8" 746CFM Vortex Fan cooling the hoods/room and one ocillating fan. My room temps are about 70-83 degrees but average about 76-79 at the tops of most of the plants. RH ranges between 60-80 but averages about 65-70%. (I am planning on putting a dehumidifer in the flowering rooms) I have excellent ventillation in two of the three chambers. (I'm still working on conecting the third)
(Bowl Break)
Ok...The soil PH is between 6.75-7, my water is tap water that is about the same. I leave it out for at least 48 hours before watering. I have been watering every third day approx. My PH testers are all cheap garden verity testers until I can afford the good ones.
I have no real PPM testers, no CO2, and I have yet to use any nutrients, with the exception of spraying the one droopy plant with a very week solution of Mircal Grow once, which didn't seem to change anything, I have done much of anything except water them.
I may have over watered them at one point and I did burn them once with light being too low within the first week or ten days.
I raised the light dryed them out a bit and they all seem to be in excellent health even the droopy one looks extremely healthy otherwise.
I have abolutely no clue as to what the heck I am actually doing, I have pretty much winged it to this point with some construction experience and my first tomato garden this past summer. While I was having the room built I followed subcools grow room build, soil mix, etc. and have tried to spend as much time reading through this site as I can.
I could have never gotten this far w/o out the help of this site, nor would I have tried. It seems like so far most of my questions have already been answered several times over within the pages at this site.
I have tried to include pictures, so here goes my first attempt?
Here goes nothin!
Thanks to everybody at this site and especially to those that continue to make this possible!
