Use the two fans. One solely for the lights and one on the extraction filter. Passive intake is very much acceptable.
Cheers. Will probably scrap the least favorable 2 before I start training . All of them are standing tall now , no more sad plants !Glad to see you got everything setup. Just try and keep the plants within 4x4. If you use the whole 5x5 you will need more light.
Could just be shock from transplanting hey ?Post a pic man. if your in fresh soil you shouldn't be seeing yellowing.
Thanks was worried I added a little bit of nutes to each plant and raised the light as far up as possible. Lights are off for another 2 hours . Lights on 18 and off 6 . Will post more pics after the lights are one to see how they look today. Pics were taken yesterdayThey look good to me. But lets watch the new growth. Watch the next 2 nodes and see where things are at.
Good move keeping that light up higher for now, gotta eeeeease them babies into bright lighting.Hey all been 5 days how do my Do Si Dos clones look to all? Made a mistake and topped soil with organic nutes next day some yellowing occurred but its been looking better over the last few days they're standing tall.. any recommendations or opinions on how they look? Temps 80 F humidity is 35% (best ill get around my part of town). Had light(600W MH) as far up as possible and moved it down yesterday couple inches 40" away now currently what do u think
Came to conclusion I was not giving enough water . Was wondering why soil was so dry in a day was being cheap because I was concerned about over watering. Gave them 2.5 cups each this water and got some run off from each plant . When I water I want some run off right ?Good move keeping that light up higher for now, gotta eeeeease them babies into bright lighting.
Careful with feedings. From my experience with Fox Farm soils I found they pack plenty of nutrients to keep your plant going for a while so be careful about adding too many additional nutes this early in the game. I transplanted into FFOF soil last go around and I had burnt tips on my plants after a about a week with no additional nutrient added, just some water at transplant. Once the plants got a little bigger they were cool with it but I didn't add food until they grew a few more nodes.
Fox Farm states their soil is pH adjusted to 6.3 to 6.8 but after my issues with the burnt tips last time I tested the FFOF soil this go around and found the pH was at 5.8 and the PPM was almost 1,000 - which I feel is too hot for the young ones. Your Happy Frog soil may not be as hot as the FFOF but it could partially explain some of the brown on the early leaves. Like Master said above keep an eye on that new growth and take it easy on the feedings.
Also it is a good idea to try and keep your pH in check as you go along. As you can see from the attached chart if your soil's pH gets too outta whack your plant won't be able to eat what you are giving it and the nutrient buildup could turn the soil rather toxic. I'd go out and pick up some PH strips and check your soil if things start looking bad down the road. Lack of nutrients usually isn't a problem for new growers. More times than not when it appears there is a deficiency there is actually plenty of nutrients in the soil but the plant just can't use them due to the pH level.
Nice setup, you should do good with that.
I am of the opinion you shouldn't make a practice of watering to runoff in soil because it can drown out your roots from lack of oxygen. Especially when your plants are little and don't have a big root system. The only time I water to runoff is if it looks like I need a corrective flush due to nutrient buildup. Also I will do a good pre-harvest flush (14) days prior to harvest. I have been running Nectar For the Gods nutrients and SLF-100 which is very forgiving unless I really want to push heavy feedings, so other than my pre-harvest flush I haven't intentionally watered to runoff for quite a while. If your soil PH is all good and your plants are healthy it is actually difficult to over feed when using the Nectar line. I should say difficult and costly because that stuff isn't cheap.Came to conclusion I was not giving enough water .

In the current cannabis climate. New growers are shelling out cash in expectations of massive harvest. So I wouldn't put it passed some "trappers" turned "growers" to drop 1,000's on their soon to be debunked setup. Totally off topic but your comment caught my eyes because I literally just talked with someone who planted their first crops and dumped over 5,000 on gear. They don't even know what EC is.Some of you jumped the gun even talking shit about "we are talking about 600 real watt LEDs" when you should have assumed a new grower that was talking about 2x600 watt lights in a 5x5 meant cheap equivalent rated LEDs. Almost every day a new grower comes on here talking about I got this many 1000 watt LEDs and it always turns outs that's it's the cheap junk lights. I really wish they would stop advertising them as more watts than they are, it's just a scam to take advantage of new growers.
Did you really think a new grower had dropped 2k on lights for a 5x5?
Do si dos. Week and a half into flowerYour plants look very healthy. But, I haven't spotted flowers yet on your plants. I've only been growing on and off for two years (I might not have the trained eye). Are they still transitioning? Also, I was wondering what strains you are growing. Thanks!
