First grow, indoor NL by Seedsman

[fukutagi]

Hi everyone, I've been following these forums for months, and i have decided to start my own grow. I live in a non-legal country so some of the items suggested is hard to obtain where i live so i try to make do with what i can. Below is my setup.

50x50x100 Grow tent
4" inline fan with carbon filter
4x 24w CFL 2600k (about 2" away from the top of the plant) (18/6 cycle)
3 gallon pots
Seed grown in organic "supersoil" mixed with perlite. (70/30 perlite)
2 fans blowing directly on the CFL lights.

Watering with plain tap water pH7.40 +/- have since changed to distilled water pH6.5 +/-. I have a soil meter it places my soil PH around 6.8 but i doubt that's accurate. I have not measured any runoffs. Watering every 2 days when top 2" of soil is dry, watering 250mls per plant last week, this week starting with 400ml per plant.

My temperature averages are 32.5c lights on. May go up to 33.Xc occasionally. Humidity is around 55-60% I have difficulties controlling temperature due to the climate of my country. I have attached some photos of my set up and some photos of my plants(photos of plants a few days old, will take more photos today and update)

My plants seems stunted as they have not been growing much. The lower leafs seems to be yellow and wilted. They are not growing half as fast as some of the grow diary i've been reading. Seeds were germinated in paper towel, after root is about 1" long they were transferred into the current pot which will be its final pot. Seeds were germinated on the 19 of December, sprouted and placed in soil on the 21st of december. Which places it at 31 days old today. in the photo below they were 29 days old. both plants around an inch+ tall. What am i doing wrong and should i just reset as i have 3 seeds left.

Some advice/feedback will be great!

heya @fukutagi and to afn! and well, me do hate to be a bearer of bad newz, but tbh, if thoze poor girlz are a month old & no bigger than that, then yes, the word "reset" is indeed applicable, lol they've obviously been stunted & will jus plain never amount to anything, so ya, ur best off jus pullin em & startin over as to why they've been stunted, it'z hard to say, but overwatering comez to mind, especially if u've watered right up next to their main stalkz...u wanna water in a ring, away from the stem, so that the lil rootz are forced to find the water on their own, and thus grow otherwize, they get suffocated, and well, don't grow, lol...don't feel bad tho, cuz mistakez are part o' the game...it'z all about grow, learn, grow again

ppp &


edit: oopz, forgot to add that they'd do better under 6500k or even 5000k cfl durin veg, then switch to the 2700k for flower also, upon second look, they may also have suffered a bit of windburn from the fanz mebbe, but idk ok, me gettin me coat now...:smoking:
