so this is my first grow. i have 1 violator kush and 1 arjan's ultra haze #2 that are 16 days old and 2 more violator kush that are at 1 week. they are feminized seeds which i personally brought back from amsterdam.

my setup;

2 1/2' x 5' x 7 1/2 ' grow space, covered in mylar
19" cool tube w/ 6 inch duct
600 watt lumatek ballast
600 watt sunmaster cool deluxe M.H. and a 600 watt eye hortilux super h.p.s.
6 inch can fan 440 cfm
2 small fans for circ.

soil grow, with miracle grow moisture control and i added coarse perlite for added aeration.


nutrients;

sensi cal mg grow mix
dutch master grow max

for flowering

fox farm open sesame
" " tiger bloom
" " big bloom
sensi cal mg bloom mix

so here are the ones at 16 days.......

this is the violator kush,








and this is arjans ultra haze #2,








a few questions. on the first 2 pics of the v.k. on the 4th set of leafs on the far end of the pic. there is a small area with obvious signs of parasite damage. i've looked at a few pics with a google search of common signs of infestation and it didn't help me. i was wondering if anyone could identify what species is the perp?

on the arjans u.h. #2 at first the leafs had some mild deformity. mainly twisting of the leafs. they seem to be doing fine now, but i'm curious as to what causes this.

also, i just transplanted and gave them a bit of the sensi cal mg. i noticed the perlite is turning slightly amber. is this normal?



any help is appreciated......
