1st Grow - Northern Light - Journal (aka help me not screw up)

[Cocho]

KenneyHo I wouldn't worry about that to much no. It might be as you said; water causing the light to "burn" the leaf a little.
But then again... the first pair of leaves tend to do all kinds of crazy stuff. Some times they don't even look like cannabis until they get their third pair.
Be patient. It's easy to love them too much in the beginning. You want to do good, but in the end you end up doing the opposite.

Peace!

Day 8 since first seedling broke through the soil.

Lessons learned over the past couple days:

Temperures went up to 88 due to the additional lights and not having the exhaust on. Exhaust has been on since and Last 24 hour range was 77-84. Went digging to see what happened with #4 & #5. #4 was still fighting and removed some excess soil from above her. #5 opened up but died. In both cases I buried them too deep and the soil was too compact. #4 broke through the soil this morning! The pictures below are of #1 - #3 (#1 biggest > #3 smallest).


Tent: 32x32x63
Seeds: Northern Light - Feminized Photo (Nirvana)
Medium: FFOF in Coco Pots, then 3-Gal fabric pots
Nutes: FF Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom (haven’t started)
PH: 6.7
Temp Hi: 88
Temp Lo: 77
RH Hi: 70%
RH Lo: 40%
Light: 4 CFL 23w actual for seedlings, then to a 800w COB LED
Exhaust: 4 Inch 190 CFM with Carbon Filter

One of the ladies is a little droopy. Her stem is also more grey and the others more purple. I’ve moved the CFLs a little further up and I don’t think I’m overwatering. Water is PH’d at 6.7. Haven’t watered until runoff yet as not wanting to drown them.

Thanks for the help!

 

[KenneyHo]

The CFLs have been on 24/0

 

[KenneyHo]

Help! Woke up to her looking like this!

 

[KenneyHo]

Starter leaves turning yellow.

Probably cuz your lights are on 24/0 - If I was growing photoperiod plants, I'd run my lights 18/6.

 

[KenneyHo]

Update :

I gave them a flush on Friday, then nothing till last night. Switched the lights to 18/6. I think my fan was blowing too directly onto the seedlings so I moved it. They seem to be bouncing back and the new growth is looking good(I think).

If you see something I’m missing please don’t hesitate to say it! I take constructive feedback well according to my 1st Grade Teacher 🤣

 

[Canuck147]

Good start - transplanting happening any time soon?

 

[KenneyHo]

You read my mind. I was thinking about transplanting them into 3 Gal fabric pots this week.

 

[Canuck147]

Make sure you have some kind of riser underneath - needed for air circulation. I use old bbq grates.

 

[KenneyHo]

So I just had to order light #3 😳 One of the LEDs has already gone out on my new COB LED. I’ve ordered the Viparspectra 600w as I’ve read good things on it and I see people speak positively about the brand on here.

 

[KenneyHo]

This one is still having some issues. She had the dying leaves earlier that I removed. Leaves curling up and tips drying up. Day 20 for her. Watering every other day with PHd 6.5 water and CalMag. No nutes yet. Temps and RH haven’t fluctuated past my previous post. Thoughts?

 

[KenneyHo]

Gave them a watering with CalMag this morning. Finally found good use for all of those RW-CDs...LOL!
