Greetings all.
I've got some droopy-ass seedlings at the moment. Both different strains from different breeders in different sized pots.
Firstly, Auto Green Crack from Fastbuds in a 5 gal pot. 92cm (36.2inch) from light.
She's on day 12 & looks like this:
Secondly, Auto Critical from Royal Seeds in a 2 gal pot. 98cm (38.5inch) from light.
She's clearly handling the environment better than her house mate but still pretty floppy.
She's on day 14 & looks like this:
What isn't so apparent from these pictures is the slight yellowing of the first serrated leaves on both seedlings.
The lights are from Invisible Sun (links below). I'm running the ISH 240-H (240 watts) with the R-strip (60watts) these have been slightly dimmed & are drawing a total of 245 watts from the wall.
I've tested the light levels using 2 basic free apps. Results are as follows:
Green crack
Lux Light Meter: 23899
Lux Meter: 23096
Critical:
Lux Light Meter: 21590
Lux Meter: 21874
Soil mix is the same for both. The main soil is a pre-mixed organic living soil from Indoor Organics with about 15% organic hulled buckwheat shells added in. At this stage though I expect the roots haven't made it that far & are still in the "Light soil blend" I put in the centre of the pots for the seeds to start off in. This is mainly Biobizz Light with about 10% of the main soil mixed in, some hulled buckwheat shells & some TNC Mycorrmax (fungal/bacterial root inoculant) thrown in for good measure.
As you can see, there's a clover cover crop that's doing well at the moment. I seeded this about 10 days before the the main seeds went in & soaked the medium with a brew made from the TNC Mycorr.
Germination for the Critical took 5 days & the Green Crack took 7. For the first week I watered using only a spray/misting bottle. I'd spray the top soil until it was visibly moist but not wet. Since then both seedlings have had a small circle of water poured around them when the soil felt dry 1.5 / 2 inch down this has been daily or every other day. Water is filtered through a basic drinking water filter.
I'm growing in a small tent (70x70). Humidity is on the low side, around 40% but can fluctuate between 35% & 60%. The temps are a bit of twat to maintain but that's mainly due to us having unusually warm weather for this time of year for the last couple of weeks. Lows of 18c (64.5f) & highs of 33c (91.4f) but mainly sits around 29 (84f) lights on & 22 (71f) lights off.
Can't think of any parameters I've missed but just ask if there's missing info.
Now then, how to make these girls happier??
