New Grower Auto Spanish Diesel First Journal! Day 17.

[yngFETTI]

Welcome! Thank you for joining me.

This is mostly for my reference, and yours, if you happen to be following along!

A little background.

Strain: Auto Spanish Diesel

Grow Medium: OF with MG Perlite 4:1 Ratio. Also have a layer of river stones at the bottom of the pot.
I now realize why my leaves were getting burnt from my intro thread. VERY HOT. lol too much shit in my soil.

Room/Cab: I just finished cleaning out a nice insulated back room!! Pretty excited about that. So I have a cabinet inside said room that measures 13.5" x 16 " x 34" lined in mylar.

Lighting: Right now cab is equipped with 6 26w CFL 6500k and 2 13w CFL 6500k

I don't really know what is used to determine day one so I figured the bean popped from the soil December 18th. That is my Day 1.

Today is January 4th. Welcome to day 17!

Got a couple pics to follow.

Day 18.

Quick question about temps.

Humidity is hovering around 65-70% is this good?

Temps are hovering around 65* with a low of 64* at night is this not good?

Still lookin good IMHO but I don't have much to go off of. This is the furthest I've ever gone. LOL.

 

[Trapper]

My 2 cents...

65-70% RH is too high, especially considering it will increase with larger plants transpiring more
moisture in an enclosed space.

65º is too cold.

I've read that wheelhouse for veg is 75º-85º and for Bloom, it's slightly lower at 70º-80º

 

[Magic]

Temps are fine. Humitiy ]bring it down to around 50% especially durning late flower to advoid mold issues. a lot of plants I've grown have grown outward first then upward so that ok. I do see yellowing are u feeding already? If not do you know your soil ph?

 

[yngFETTI]

I haven't been feeding. I had another thread up in the intro section and we had discussed it. I wasn't too sure exactly what I should do and didn't want to make any quick decisions. I decided to go get some good water from the store since honestly I can't even drink the bullshit tap in my house so idk why I thought my baby could. I haven't had any more yellowing tips however it just seems to be when the leaves mature. Is that normal? I know yellowing isn't BUT will the others also yellow as they mature.

 

[yngFETTI]

I determined my soil is a lil hot hovering around 5.8-9 or so.

 

[yngFETTI]

okay so my temps are not going up too much. i'm going to the store later, however, this room is very small. any suggestions as to what i should use to heat this small space. its a utility closet big enough to fit 3 people comfortably if that gives any info without having to measure. i'm thinking just a space heater put on a timer so that it isn't constantly heating the room because that might be disaster.

Use more light to heat up your room, get a HPS or more CFLs.

 

[yngFETTI]

the only problem is the room is off of the house. That means no heat whatsoever coming from the house. also i read hps use a lot of energy. i'm trying to go as low budget as possible. having prior knowledge of growing other things i honestly do not want to leave my lights running 24/7 simply because in my mind I tell myself that is not what a plant needs. itd be different if the room actually maintained temp at night when the lights go down but sad part is it does not xP
