New Grower New grower - Amnesia Haze Auto & Royal Bluematic

180 watts of LED is plenty for seedlings. 400w HPS is going to be super hot in a small closed tent unless the ambient temperature is downright frigid! they sell these tube looking things that attach to the light and go around the bulb that you hook vent hoses to that suck away the heat. i forget the name but you might want to look into it if you're dead set on using that light in a tent.
Yea they call it as cool tube. I will just stick to the LED alone for now. Will see if it starts to curve again . Thanks a heap mate. Was so worried when the temperature raises till 40.1C!
 
good luck with ur grow....personally id say give the pot a water till run off. This happened to me once so i dug around the middle lifted a patch of soil which contained the seedling...gave it a thorough water and put it back. watered after 5 days. Get used to the weight of a JUST watered pot and a dry pot. A wise man told me to grab two pots...one with just the medium filled and the other with ur baby, compare the weights and u will no when to water.

Improving ur RH just add a bowl of water and open ur cab doors during light out for natural air exchange.

Lastly turn hps off..get the plants as close as u can to the LEDs. HPS wont be needed for at least another 3.5 weeks. Make sure u LST her from day 8/9, bend her straight 90 degrees when she is at least 3 inches tall.

Good luck shadeyman

Thanks for dropping by Zain. Will try to do that to them tomorrow. As for the LED, the only concern i have is my babies tend to curl towards the light when i lower the LED as close as possible. Maybe because the LED frame is square and not rectangle in shape and therefore leaving a big gap in the middle and both seedlings by the side.

The leaf curling is most likely heat stress as others have mentioned. Put a tray/bucket of water in the grow room with a fan blowing over it to raise humidity. Also LST should be left for a fortnight from now. You've got to let the seedling settle in its environment and lay it's foundations and strengthen before stressing it with LST. Besides even though its possible to LST that early it's better to wait 2 weeks or so till you get a sturdy little plant with some convenient length. Not to mention you'll need tweezers or very steady surgical hands to LST an 8-9 day old plant so a lot more could go wrong like disturbing the roots for one.

I'm guessing Zain has probably read BBG's grow and thinks its the usual method of LST'ing.

Hi super, im not planning to LST anytime soon. I will keep up with my update and follow advice i get here and take it step by step.
 
Fantastic start Shadey bro! Don't worry the little ones will always follow the light a bit, nothing to worry about. Keep this updated like you are and you will be harvesting fat buds before you know it!

Good luck buddy,

Day 11 since germination. Babies started to show new set of leaves. And im guessing their growth stunted and growing pretty slow.

You're right. For 11 days there's not much growth there especially for an auto. I have two Think Different autos at day 12 right now under some low powered 125w CFL right now and they are growing rapidly in comparison. Could be just the difference in genetics though but I'm sure for 11 days you should have more growth there. Here's mine at day 12 uploadfromtaptalk1410461761064.jpg
