Background - Very first grow
# of Plants - 6
Soil - Roots Organic
ph - Have been giving 6.5 ph'd distelled water - (was using well water with 6.5 ph)
pots - 7g felt smart pots (they started in dixie cups and have been xplanted up a few times)
lights - under 600 watt hps about 3 ft from plants
vent - 450 cfm air cooled hood with carbon filter with 2 fans circulating air on inside
grow room - 4.5 x 4.5 x 6.5 grow tent
temp/humidity - 70-80 F / 40-60% H Day Time - 64-72 F / 40-60% H Night Time
Nutes - Botanicare Nutrients - Received their first "real" dose of nutes today: (1ml/gal) Cal-Mag, (.5 ml/gal) Superthrive, (2.5ml/gal) Pure Blend Pro, Distilled Water ph'd 6.5 - 1 Gallon per plant
Additional Notes - Have topped all but 1 plant.
I started 5 of these plants on 3/3/14. And the last one on 3/10/14.
Past Info:
I've had a WPM issue (squashed that shit real quick before it did any damage or spread to any plants)
I've had a moisture issue (left my humidifier on twice during sleep cycle didn't realize it wasn't on timer)
I've had a light burn issue (had lights to close to plant for 1 day)
I've had an overwatering issue (figured that out within the first week of seedling stage)
I know I've had countless mess-ups this grow and I didn't expect my first grow to be amazing. I learn from doing. So I do not plan on having these issues or making the same mistakes the second time around as I've take a lot of notes!
Sum It Up:
My problem is I believe these plants should be much bigger at the 38 day mark.. Any suggestions to improve growth here? I know it's a waiting game at this point, but I still feel like I am so far behind and growth is staggering.
