Ok so I just starting putting my grow room together 3 weeks ago and started with some ditch weed seeds because I was curious to see how they would compare with potent seeds. I have 5 seedlings of the poop on the outer buckets and in the inner bucket I have a mix of the mystery seed and one of ice. In the DWC 4 pot planter I recently transplanted 2 white widows, an ice, and one crystal by slicing in half a rockwool and carefully placing it in between the rockwool and putting a rubberband around it (which I have removed since along with the plastic). This first pic shows how pathetic the potent seeds look after transplanting to the system.
I used rich organic potting mix and I've applied very limited fertilizer before now and the stems kept on getting really long. One of them broke and fell over from the weight one night because they are just so thin.... for the potent seeds its been 2.5 weeks and even though I think I fixed a problem with the lighting (I was using 2 60W cool white fluorescent tubes too far then put them closer, still not enough seemed like so I got real CFL 42 W daylight spectrum bulbs from the local hardware store and well you can see from the second picture).
The third one gives a better picture of how long the stems are (and while I transplanted I ate up about an inch already on all of them. The reason why I think they have become so tall and did not grow fast at all is because the 2 fluorescent tubes were too far away). Also it looks like the close right one has red stemage. The last picture show the ditch weed on the right where one is struggling to recover from shock and watering perhaps and a small one lying low to the ground was also looking a little pale. Beforehand my light sensing meter read at about 700 (I don't know the units there was no instructions for it) and that was after I lowered the tubes really close. After I put the rest of the bulbs in I'm getting upwards of 2000 for light and I noticed recovery and maybe a little better growing.
If I ever get to the point of flowering I'm just going to use a 400 W HPS and that should be good because I plan on having almost like a sea of green setup, however the DWC will take more priority than the soil buckets. I do have 12 plants right now of unknown sex so I guess that'll make 6 females or more right?
Oh and I got my seeds from marijuana-seeds.nl so I really don't suspect any problem with the bank.
Does anyone know what I should do from here?
I leave the temp around 80 and the humidity between 40 and 60 so that shouldn't be a problem.
