Complete Newb-Indoor-LED R/B/W Light

Hey

Got 5 x Dance world seeds, germ in 3 days. Two of them are back in wet towel and if no life…dead to me.
I began seeing yellowish leaves closest to the soil (germinated in searls premium potting mix)

I was watering like twice daily…now I realise that i was over doing it. I’ve transplanted into a seedraiser potting mix with perlite and coir i watered the day before transplant into medium damp soil. Plants are no longer droopy and have raised the light a bit higher they are under a 300w led. Hoping to get one into bloom in two weeks.
Makeshift grow box from cardboard and foil.
Giving 60 min sun/air a day.
Temp ranges from 20-33 deg and RH from 37-52
Planning on foliage spray weekly with seasol until bloom.
Not too cluey on nutrients atm.

Transplant day, 12/8


This is date seed went in soil, growth seems slower than most. Though this is supposed to be a compact plant grow like I and effects like S
This is for juicing or maybe edibles for fybromyalgia since there is no treatment.


Subaking 1hr after water

Ok, so I’ve taken the 300W LED light out of the box, and saved that for my flower room. I’ve now got 4x30cm T5 R/B/W in there hopefully that will keep temp down without need of a fan I have a few cups of water sitting at the bottom but still struggling to get RH over 44%

I am new to this but your plants appear locked out… What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution before watering and run off water from the plant? Same with PH, can you check that as well? A 300 watt led will work fine for a 2.5 x2.5 foot space during veg but you will need more during flower. They key with led is to maintain at least an 18 inch air gap as the super bright chips can damage the plants chlorophyll production if too close (bathing in radiation). Good light, good food, good water and MJ grows itself. Best of luck to you!! It is kinda fun watching these girls grow.

I have a PH tester coming, can you recommend a nutrients tester?
My flower tent is going to be 80x80x160cm
So I’m def going to need more light for later.
I’m not familiar with the term locked out either sorry.

They were were planted in searls premium mix, no issues looked strong and healthy until I over water them and bottom leaves yellowed off.

Roots were appearing from the bottom so I transplanted into a new mix
40/40/20 : Osmocote® Professional Seed Raising & Cutting Mix/perlite/coir.
There was also a teaspoon of blood n bone added to the whole mix.

I’ve changed their lights and temp came down but RH locked below 40. 44% being the highest today.

I have a small dehumidifier coming as well as the ph tester. Will need some guidance on the right nutrients tester.

Hope these girls are ok. I ended up trimming all yellow off and new branches appeared within 12 hrs from the cuts.

I gave them a weak Epsom salt drink just incase

@MrSmith - put the @ sign in front of a users name and it tags them :wink:. I bought this

Water Quality Test Meter Pancellent… Amazon.com

Locked out is a term used to describe your plant being unable to absorb nutrients at the root zone properly. PH plays a key role in this absorption. If locked out, plants will die off. The EC/TDS meter tests the strength of your nutrient solution. You should test and adjust throughout the life cycle. I am really new so my advice is not expert level. There are a TON of folks here that are Masters. I learn from them daily

Oh wow she is far more advanced than mine. @Poseidon.
At least their not dead …yet
Ive just brought the meter to test run off etc. So hopefully it’s not too far away.
Hopefully I will be more knowledgeable by tge time my two other strain seedlings arrive.
