Hello all, this is my first post to this website. This is my first ever attempt at trying to grow Cannabis. So first off, I germinated the seeds in a wet paper towel and sealed them off in a bag. After the roots were peaking out, I put them in the dirt with the outside of the shell facing up near the surface. I am growing this plant in doors, the temperature of the house is around 79 degrees and is an open room for good air circulation. It's under a 400 watt coralvue dimmable ballast with a 20 kelvin MH bulb. Iv'e had the plant for three days now and I feel like it started out good but now is progressively getting worse (I feel like). The dicot leaves (first two embryonic leaves) have darkened up in pigmentation during the second day and started to become almost black at the tips. My theory is that the MH light was producing too much heat. So in efforts to counter act this I placed a fan blowing air at the light in hopes to bring the temperature down and to create even more circulation. I also turned the ballast down from max wattage to minimum. The soil I am using is Miracle Grow and I water the plant twice a day. My lights stay on for about 15-18 hours. The plant is a about 2.5 feet under the light.
