Ok first off let me give you guys some details. I live in ga the temperature here is about 88 degrees during the peak of the day and anywhere from 50-72 degrees at night. I have built a grow room out doors above this very large dog house we built for our st. benard. The doghouse has a roof almost as high as a normal house and I built an additional ceiling in it so its pretty much like a hidden attic in the dog house. The dog house has insulation in the roof and walls. Also has a window unit air conditioner in it. In the fake attic I built i lined the walls with a mylar material cut a few holes out that go up into the actual roof and put some pvc pipe through the holes so a good bit of fresh air comes in. I also have a good sized fan with 3 modes for circulation. The lights i have around about 1300 lumens a peice (cfl) and i Probably have about 15 of them. The temperature inside this room stays about 86-88 from noon til night. And early mornings and during the night (as of right now) it stays about 72-74. I have also added a heat lamp light in there and tried turning it on and it peaked about 90ish in there this past week. So i keep it off as of now. My problem is i germinated a few seeds and planted them in pots with nutrients added. Its been about 2 weeks they havent grown any. One has died. And the one that is alive and looks healthy is pretty much stunted I beleive. Im pretty sure its because of my retarded ass adding nutrients that early and burned them up. However, I used some peat pellets in the little humidity peat box thing, and almost all the seeds germinated fine so i figured I was good to go in a few weeks i could transplant them into a pot. Wrong. Only one made it the others shrivled up and died leaving me with one really healthy looking plant. Not sure what happend but today I regerminated some more and transplanted my only healthy one to a pot. What could be causing these plants to die? At first i was convinced it was the temp. but the temperature seems to be correct as of right now and i eliminated nutrients for the peat pellets because they have no nutrients in it. Maybe i have to
many lights for germinating or growing period. I find every morning I go to check them the soil is pretty dry but I read that I was suppose to keep the germinating pellets close to the lights to start the growing. So im not real sure why I keep having plants die before they even start good..i lightly spray the peat pellets if they get to dry and water my plants everyday. Does anyone have any sort of suggestion, what am I doing wrong? is my room faulty or just how im starting them ive attached some pics of my room and etc. Thanks guys.
P.S. ive grown a few times in a pc case and ive never done anything special to them. I germinated them in a wet paper towel then put them in a pot and they grow fine? So im not sure whats going on thanks
