Thanks for the reply and advice mate, greatly appreciated. I have been using the hand under the light method, but after reading a few times that Auto's are more sensitive to light I have been pretty cautious of the height of the light .. maybe a little over cautious? I will keep a good eye on the stretch, will definitely try to keep the light at a good distance at all times during the stretch, thank you for the heads up.With HID lamps just use the back of your hand method to determine light placement. Hold your hand back side up at the top of the canopy. If your hand is uncomfortable warm move the light up. If it is too cool move it down. Be careful when the plants are stretching to stay ahead of the growth with raising the lights.
Your temps are getting a bit too low. Shoot for 68°F/20°C night and 77°F/25°C Day.
Coco is best run wetter than you are doing it. Letting the outside edges dry will allow salts to build up on the inside of the pot. It is more desireable for that to happen on the outside and not at all on the inside. I do not know about your nutrient line but as long as it is designed for coco follow their schedule.
I love growing mutant plants. You may have one or not? Too early to tell? I keep hoping my mutants will be the best thing since OG!
Have fun![]()
My temps are definitely not where I want them to be, humidity as well is low. I live in Australia, east coast, and the weather here has been quite cold. We are 3/4 of the way through winter, and it has been a cold one. As the house isn't well insulated, and I have ducted heating, I have struggled to get the right temps and humidity in both of my grow tents. I have a large humidifier for the house and a small one for the bigger tent as well, still not having much luck unfortunately. I will lower the light over the next couple of days which should help a bit with heat. Should I consider leaving the light on for an extra couple of hours to help with heat a bit at night, I'm using 18/6 light schedule at the moment. If I wasn't in the 6th Covid lockdown at the moment I would go buy a space heater or something for the room at night.
These are my first real mutant plants, both Gelato #41. Very weird that they both grew a single leaf at the same node, but the next set of leaves on both are growing normal. Everything I have seen on mutant plants says they have turned out special in one way or the other .. or were a complete disappointment
