Hi! Been a long time lurking and leaching all the great infos from all the great growers on this comunity and after my first unexpectedly succesful grow i decided to start my own journal.
This grow is kinda different from my first (also more serious) so i need all the help i can sponge on!
I grew kind of organic, biobizz soil+perlite and biobizz nutes, 1 Viparspectra 450w, never ph'ed, lot of mistakes and so on. But hey! 188g of dried buds out of 3 big and 3 small plants under that light for my first attempt i'll say worth!

This time i wanna do things like this:
Lights: Viparspectra 450w LED + Dimmable 600w hps @18/6 all the way.

Grow medium: Coco coir + perlite (70-30) in 3x 15L and 5x 8L smart pots.

Nutes: Canna Coco A+B, Rhizotonic, PK13/14, Sensi CalMag Xtra, GH ph down 1-5-0. My tap water has 8.1~ PH.
1519319842437-1868717241.jpg

Seeds: 3x Northern Lights Blue, 3x Big Cheese, 2x Moby Dick and 1x Blueberry. All of them are autos from Seedsmafia Netherlands. Great genetics (they forgave all my mistakes past grow). Most of them are hybrids-sativa dominant.

In a few hours they will be 7 days old since seeds planted. I tossed'em in rapid rooters cubes directly into their pots. They said hello 30-36 hours later.
Didn't have enough money for a big tent so i improvised a perimeter 2.5m × 1.5m in my room. I go to sleep, i wake up, i drink my coffee, heck! i do everything alongside my girls! <3
Atm i'm just watering daily in circles around them to keep'em moist but not wet @0.5 of recommended seedling strength @5.7-5.9PH.

Now there's a problem: since day 5 they started to "pray". The hps is 1m away from them and the led is 60cm away. Temp is stable, lights on 25-28C and 18-21C at night. RH is oscilating between 45-50%. Idk the cause, maybe lift the lights more?

And the view from the couch to see the lights height :

In the empty pot it should've been another Moby Dick but didn't germinate, i replaced the cube with a Blueberry! I expect it to say hi by tommorow, planted it yesterday.

Will post updates daily! Grab a seat for the ride and PLEASE share your wisdom fellas!

L.E.
idk why the pics are rotated... sorry for that, will try to edit later today on my laptop.

looking good il sub for the show :pass:
 
Been a lil' busy these days, didn't have the chance to stop by. Modified the room a bit, changed the support under pots and some ventilation issues. It's a very harsh winter here outside, temps ranging -20 at night and around -7 on day.
I watered this morning, before lights on, with a lot of runoff 7ml Canna A+B, 10ml Sensi CalMag and 20ml rhizotonic per 10L. @5.7 ph, the runoff was about 6.2ph. (kinda high i guess?)

Here they are day 11 from seed.
They aren't actually as yellow as the camera took the pics tho.

Got a problem with one of them, kinda curly leaves. Heat is not an issue, hps is 2 ft. away, fan blowing above their tops. Humidity is in range. Idk...

What are your thoughts on suplementig the room with "natural" co2? aka wood burning stove? I know that besides co2 emissions, there are small ammounts of CO but meh..
I can let the door open from time to time when they are evenly burnt and no smoke is released, just gas and heat. lmk
