Hey guys, update on my progress: February 25[SUP]th[/SUP] she emerged from the soil. Put her under the 150w hps on the 5[SUP]th[/SUP] of March. She is in a huge container filled with perlite, some sand and compost from our compost bin. (Kitchen waste, grass clippings all from last year. ) Temperature 78-78.5 F or 26-26.5 C. Feeding her every 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] day with rain water and tomato feed plus some home made “fertilizer” (eggshells powder, orange and grapefruit rinds, molasses, rain water, left together for 4 weeks.) Fans are almost always on, to keep the constant temperature. Started with a 24 hours light on schedule, yesterday started to reduce these hours. Planning to reduce half an hour every day gradually. (Trying to mimic nature). If everything goes well, she will be on 12/12 by the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] of April. I managed to burn 1 leaf with the HPS, but just an area of a 1 cent coin. My only concern is the V-shape of the newer leaves. Tried to google, what could be the problem, couldn’t figure it out. Someone wrote, too much humidity. My humidity is 25-35%, which is low (did my research on that, I know it should be 45-50-60%). I put in a tray of water to increase humidity levels. Increased it 5%. Not much I know, would need a humidifier. The new growth is significantly lighter green than the older leaves. But I read that this is not a problem.
Should I be concerned about the curling of the leaves? What do you think? Thanx. Will keep you updated.
