[robbie82]

Forgot the details...

Closet grow
MG African Violet potting mix
A small amount of Sta-Greene Vermiculite mixed in with soil
4 26watt CFL's (1700 lumens each) About 1-2 inches above plants
Watered every other day
Temp - 72*F

Well because of the potting soil slightly acidic pH - 5.0 to 6.5. But I herd this was good to use so I used it as suggested in another thread. Its organic though.

No need to water them every other day

 

[dRugged]

For seven days old, thats pretty small. But if you are not growing in optimum conditions, thats what you have to live with.

yeah, soil is way slower then hydro too... im on day 9 right now and they are clsoe to 6 inches tall and on set 5

Hey thanks for the helpful hint! Yea I know like an idiot I didnt know you had to have the lights THAT close and I messed up the first few days but moved the lights closer just in time!

This is how far they were before, now there and inch to two inches away.

yeah make sure you watch for the edge of the leaves curling up it means they are to hot CFLS still put out heat so just be carefull 3inches is a good distance if u dont have many fans blowing on them(like me)

lookin a bit puny. the ph is more acidic than it needs to be. a 5.5 ph is recommended for hydro grows. soils (even organics) prefer more neutral at about 6-6.5 - get your ph up, the proper nutes, and watch explosive growth.

 

[robbie82]

Thanks for all the tips, Im gonna plant new ones in Jan which will do much better, didnt expect perfection on my first try, but t know so much more now so that on my second grow things will go much smoother.

PS when should I add nutes to these babies?

 

[kittysecrets4u]

Be careful not to over-water or over-fertilize your babies. This too will cause leaf curl and yellowing.

 

[robbie82]

Over watering will cause a curling down? My leafs are curling a bit down......nothing big but its a small curl, ill pst a pic when I get home

 

[robbie82]

Well tell me how this looks I repositined them, over watered?
