First time grower here. Thought I'd share some photos.

I decided to raise the light to 28 inches above canopy level and turn the ballast to 100%. LUX levels are now 18,500 for middle plants and 16,500 for the corner plants. Surface temps of plants are stable between 25C-26C (77F-79F) I also turned my humidifier at my air intake down and have my...

All a learning process! I was fantasizing about a trouble free grow...PHHHT!

21,000 LUX with 600watt at 100% in the middle at canopy level 17,500 LUX with 600watt at 100% on the corners at canopy level Hmmmmmm

Alright.......Here are my LUX readings.... The four plants in the "corners" are getting about 8300 LUX with 600W at 75% on ballast at 24inches. The two plants in the middle are getting about 9300 LUX with 600W at 75% on ballast at 24 inches. These light readings are rather low are they not...

Ballast has a 100%, 75% and 50% setting. I'm trying to figure out how to use my LUX meter right now...the scale on it is wonky so I'll get back to you on my readings.

Yeah, next time around I will definitely start them in a solo cup and transplant twice to progressively larger pots. I've been using one of those 2 prong soil moisture meters to determine when to water. Would it be a bad idea to use transparent solo cups to start in so I can monitor root...

I had 600 watt at 100% on them from the start at about 20 inches, then I raised it to 24 inches when I saw problems. surface temperature of the plants never exceeded 28C-30C (82F-86F) as measured with my digital infrared thermometer gun. Now I have the light at 24 inches and at 75% power and...

I had watered my plants with "Nestle Pure Life" bottled water from the start up until 3 days ago when I realized exactly what was in the water.... Mineral salt content of 552 PPM and it's ozonated. Either way when I saw "salt" and "sodium" of 25mg per 500ml I panicked. Salt isn't exactly...

More pictures from today... Plant #2 side shots Plant #4 side shots Plant #6 side shots Is this "the claw" from nitrogen toxicity from having started in "hot" soil or just a combination of things? I just don't get why plant #1 and #3 seemed to start so well and the others lagged...

This is my first grow and I've made more mistakes than I thought I could have. I think most of it is due to simple excitement and anxiousness to get started. Setup: Secret Jardin Dark Street II Tent 5ft x 5ft x 6.5ft Tall (DS150II) - 6" Cooltube XL Reflector w/ add-on 26" x 25" Extra Large Wing...

I had a hunch the soil I was using was too hot for seedlings. I just moved plants 2, 4, 5 and 6. Carefully removed them from their current pots, making a 5-6 inch diameter hole in the existing soil and filling that hole with soil starter and put the seedlings back in. I guess we'll see what...

Plants #1 #3 seem to be problem free and plant #6 is showing some yellowing at the tips. Plant #1 (Day 9) Plant #3 (Day 9) Plant #6 (Day 9)

Plant #5 seems to be a runt... Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 6 Day 9

I seem to be having problems with a couple of my plants but by far the biggest concern of mine is plant #2! You can read my complete setup and grow journal here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/first-grow-6-x-fem-purple-kush-600w-hid-5x5x6-5-tent.849010/ Short rundown of setup: - 5ftx5ftx6.5ft tent...

Day 9 Sprouting Update: I hope to be getting my A & B grow nutrients from green planet shortly. Plant 1: Strongest plant of the bunch by the looks of it. Plant 2: Leaves are still severely wrinkled, still a nice green color. Is this a genetic condition? What am I looking at? Plant 3: No...

Day 6 Sprouting Update: On day 6 I decided to replant all 6 of the seedlings. I feared that my growing medium was going to have poor drainage and hold too much moisture. I mixed about 1.25 liters of perlite into each pot and mixed the soil up real good before placing the seedlings with their...

I made a grow journal where I have and will be posting updates follow it here.

Seeds are from Crop King Seeds in BC, Canada. Under genetics it says "Cali Purple Kush - Original Kush" and is listed as 75% indica.

Day 3 Sprouting Update All the seedlings look good! Seedlings are still under 24/0 light. I dropped the 600w MH reflector with cooltube down to 18" above the seedlings as I was concerned with stretching on plants #1 and #3 as they were 2.5 inches and considerably longer taller than the others...
