Hola,
Long time smoker, first time grower. I germinated 5 feminized Blackjack seeds about 28 days ago. I am growing indoors, in the basement. I prepped the area w/ a bleach solution, installed 48"(vertical) of mylar on the two walls bordering the space. I am using 4, 48" T12 tubes (2 cool white, 2 full spectrum) for vegetative growth (18 hrs. on, 6 hrs. off). I kept the lights @ about 4" from the tops of the plants for the first 21 days, I then bumped them up to about 6"-7" off the tops to promote a bit of stretching. I am using 10 gal of distilled water to mix the solution. I am using GH 3 part for nutrients. I am on my 3rd batch of solution atm. (25/25/25 ml, 12 days)(50/50/50 ml, 14 days)(125/100/100 ml, 2 days) I have an air stone installed in the res., and I am watering 3 times a day during the light hrs. (2 hrs. at a time, evenly spaced). The ambient air temp. stays @ about 70 degrees through out the day. the plants look heathy, and have really started to take off in the last few days. My question is this, should I be concerned that they are as short as they currently are. I have tried doing some research on this specific strain in hopes that it may be a slow starter, but alas, there isn't a lot of information posted on it yet. I therefore turn to the professionals. I have included several pics. I hope you guys (and gals) can give me your opinions and any advice is welcome. Thank you for your time in advance.
