Week 1 went alright,the seedling doom was getting a little hot 90-95 F, week 2 took the doom of and it was a little cooled like 70 F .. humidity 20% so I got the humidifier and heat lamp, brought the the temp to 80 F and humidity around 50%. But as you can see my major problem was my lower leafs were going yellow on the tips. But I'm pretty sure thats fertilizer burn I started feeding them to early and I was misting the same fertilizer water on them oops lol I think there gonna be all right I gave them a good flush:) Ill keep updating

t5s are what I'm using now and what I learned is that quantity is crucial. If im not mistaken, the light penetration on them is less than an HPS so its better to do sog?

Depending on your local law inforcement be carefull with HPS. T5s are great if HPS is not an option. If you go HPS do it propa!

Still watering with no nutes but I'm going to start using hydrogen peroxide, 30 ml per 1 gallon..

Today I watered them with 15 ml per gallon of hydrogen peroxide and I also crashed up half sheet of dry seaweed into the water and let it sit there for 36 hours.. No one told me to do this but I heard seaweed was good for your plants..lol. Any thought on this??

I guess that seaweed extract is good for your plants, Im just not sure about using dry seaweed. And yea Hydrogen peroxide is also good it gives your roots oxygen, check out the FAQ GROWFAQ I only used half amount they seem to like it.:) :leaf:

So I found out yesterday that my soil PH was really low. like 5.1 ,, Stupid Pro mix:finger: I tested straight out of the bag and it was just as bad.. So I add some dolomitic lime to each pot about 1 ML hopefully that brings it up..
The way I tested was Let the soil dry out then take just water with the PH 7.0 run it throughout the pot and then test the PH of the run off,, It should come out 6.5 to 7.0..
