Ok I guess ill start with the basics. Handed down some seeds which I have zero history on. Germinated in paper towel, took about 4to5 days for first tap root.Planted in miracle grow premium seed starting potting mix (0.0-0.01-0.0).Water and soil Ph test @ 5/6.
I have to say I wasn't expecting a grow so I put together what I could find for now.
Using 1 cfl 1600 lumens 23w cool white <more fixtures and warm light to come in days> lighting on a 18 on 6 off cycle. Negative pressure fan system,outlet on top inlet bottom side corner. Temp steady between 20*c and 30*c. Watering frequently with a spray bottle when soil says it needs it My humidity varies between 30% and 70% , can't seem to keep it stable with my conditions. I haven't been able to find any mylar.


Question: #1 -Plant #2 What is happening to the leaves on my sprouts.One has a good looking curl to it and what seems to be like a burn. The other plant#1 has a yellow spot and a little hole on one leave.

#2 - When should I start the nutes with these potential ladies.

#3 - How long untill true leaves start showing. I am 7 days since sprouting and im not seeing much in the middle.

I Will Post the Pics for you to comment.

Didn't mention one thing. I am planning on putting these outside. And have been looking into the possibility of LST while vegging inside.

give them a week. they can start out a little slow but once they get going they really take off. hold off on nutes for awhile. a lot of sprouts get curls and little bits of damage. it's a phase of growth. they usually straighten themselves out after a week or so. they look good so far.

Diggla first of all you love the grow box. Red Green would be proud of all the duck tape. Just water for now and when you put them out side pound them with nitrogen rich fert. just my opinion

Thanks for the replys. Duck tape all the way lol . I honestly wasn't expecting these old seeds to do anything so when they sprouted the box was made in minutes.

I know tinfoil is bad and causes hotspots and other probs. But without being able to find mylar is there something I can do with foil? like really smooth it out.

if it's all you have the smoother the better.

you can find mylar in camping section of most stores {emergencyblanket}in most first aid kit's are mylar

So would you say it is better to use foil (really smooth it out) rather than having nothing?, just plain cardboard. Also how long in veg would you recommend before going outside?
