Using bag seed (poor quality) and going on 3 weeks old, my seedlings are pretty small, some toasted on the leaf tips and a couple tall and scrawny. Some didnt even grow any leaves after the first germination set, weird.
Im monitoring PH, Humidity, Temperature (ambient and under the light), light intensity, and PPM of the nutrient solution.
Im learning that PH is very important, mine was at 4 just a minute ago, locking out nitrogen, slowing growth. I also had the halide too far away at first, so i brought it down. Maybe most important I had a PPM of 1500+ and before I realized it, i had some nasty burn. I now have the PPM around 600, the PH around 6 and a temperature of 80. Ive been battling with the temperature all afternoon. I cant seem to get it down below 80, ive cut the bottom floor of the house off from the AC, that only bought me a few degrees. Ive opened up the attic to let hot air up, and that did only a little good.
My root temperature zone is a little high, still nothing I can do about that on a permenant basis. Only float an ice pack inside the tank lowering it a couple degrees. So i got some guard solution, to protect the roots from fungi hopefully it works.
Although Im bummed about the quality of this seed, and the mistakes I made, it is my first grow and im looking forward to getting good seed and working harder next time.
Good Growing!
