Indoor First Timer:- CHAZE

[evln00b]

yeah dude, uk based lol... thats nice work for day 12 by the looks of things.

err couple of questions for anyone that can answer...

one of my seedlings as previously mentionedhad trouble dropping the casing, so last night I gently removed it... today she has opened up but her little leaves look all curled and deformed, is there anything I can do to help this or do I just let nature take it's course ??

also... I had my hps about 2' above the seedlings but it looks to me like they are stretching a little... they are about 1 + 1/2" high... I've moved the light a little closer and gave my fan a bit more oomph to keep it cool... is this going to be ok or should I move it back up ??

third seed hasn't broke ground yet, hopefully it'll be showing face in the morning... also couldn't get a decent pic as my light is set to go off at 2am and come back on at 8am (that way i'm not disturbing them during dark phase) ... I'll give it a couple of days and then snap them in the dark when they look a lil more like plants other than watercress lol.

cheers in advance for answers to the above !!

here we go... best pic I can get of my healthiest looking girl... number 3 still not showing, *she's being stubborn - typical woman*

number 2 looking better today, I think her first leaves were just curled due to the shell helmet.

And above you can see number 1, hopefully as she gets bigger I can snap some better pics... as the name says, I'm new to all of this lol.

**noticed she looks a lil yellow on the pic, she isn't, thats just the lighting.

Thanks dude, I'm still a little cagey to be honest, worried incase I screw up.

Just like me on my first grow... it should pass! Just make sure not to make any kind of quick decisions when things arent perfect, it sets you back alot more than it helps. Ill be watching for sure tho man

I'm kinda just layin back with it now... gonna let them be and see how they go, I mean obviously checkup / feed and nurture, but I'm not gonna let myself stress over it... I was also thinking, you reckon I can get 3 lowryders under my light too or am I best to just leave the 400w to the chaze ?? and setup another grow ??

If I need to setup another grow I'll just leave it...

You could squeeze more under but by the time that chaze starts stretching and branching to show its sativa colors, it'll be a pain in the ass for anything else to catch enough light..

cheers dude.... what if I was to stick a couple of cfl's in there or possibly a T5 ??

I've been contemplating adding a T5 as a side light, but due to the blue spectrum I wasn't sure... can I run it at 18 / 6 alongside the HPS and give the ladies a dual spectrum for their whole life cycle, or would I be best to go for two red spectrum CFL's ???

**where's stitch when ya need him** lol.
