New Grower First nirvana nl autoflower grow

[gonza]

yes ayas - first thread

my plants are 3,5 weeks old now and i never done this before so im looking for some feedback on the development.

Set up: 3 1000watt hps,18/6 cycle, soil 1/4 perlite mix
started with the seeds straight into 5 liter pots,soil 1/3 perlite mix.

All seeds came up nicely although a few seedlings did bend and broke the stem,1 of them survived and is a
midget.

I probably had too much light on them at the beginning,lights were too close and too much heat,did not know about proper temps,luckily none got very damaged,slight upwards curving on the leaf edges.
Temps are much better now,around 24c-30c daycycle and around 14c-18c darkcycle (still working on a fix,im changing the cycle so its the lights are on in the night and off during the hot part of the day(northern hemisphere climate).

just gave them a mild fert. and got some brown tips on the upper new leaves on some of them,i hope they willl b arite.

heres a pick on 1 of the plants,there are some bigger and some smaller but this one represents the average.

Id appreciate some feedback on the flower development
(sorry about the angle,dont know how to flip em)
boom!

Hi gonza, welcome to AFN. Plants in the pictures look good

3, 1000w lights is a lot of light. You don't say how big your grow area is but a single 1000w light can cover an area of about 5 ft. x 5 ft. (1,5 x 1,5 meters)

Are you monitoring your pH? pH being way off is one of the biggest issues new growers seem to have.

Good luck

Good looks Gonza, I recently harvested my first and was also nirvana's northern lights. The smoke is superb, a lot better than the "good shit" from my guy. What soil / ferts are you using ? And I agree with oldster three 1,000watt HPS is a lot of light for your plants, you'd probably have similar yield with just running one of them. If they were photoperiod plants I'd be all for as much light as you feel safe running / paying for but with autos they kind of have a threshold plateau, going from one to two won't double your yield with these. Keep us posted and keep up the good work, where are my manners.. Welcome to AFN, be sure to make an introduction in the into sub forum !
