Hi all, I started a grow roughly on the 1st spet and they were nice little seedlings...then my fucking dog ate them. Broke my ickle little heart. So I popped in a few more seeds (all germinated in soil) and they are nearly at two weeks now. Its my first grow and i have been readng a bit on nutes but i think its the scariest part of growing (and possibly riskiest?) so dont wat to do anything without a bit of advice from you guys:) Seeds im using are auto fem pineapple express.

Set-up is 200w blue cfl a few inches away (will use 600w HID for flowering), grow room is 2.5ft by 2.5ft by 7ft, not watering them much just a bit too make sure soil is a bit moist (also have clay balls/hydroton) and on a lighting time of 20-4, two fans, one for fresh air intake and one just to keep air circulating, temp at 20-25c and humidity at 40-45%.

The nutes i have are GreenDream 1 http://www.flairform.com/Products/greendream.htm and was just wondering if anyone has used them? Also if you could advice on schedule, how much etc i would be massively and have a tok in your honour haha x

(plant in the last 2 pics baffles me, grown in the exact same conditions but yellowing/burnt edges, any ideas?)

made a mistake with the dates, nearly two weeks old:) also only just put it under the 200w yesterday and seeing a massive difference, they were on an 11w cfl before...only thing i could get my hands on while waiting.

Ya they should take off now they do look healthy though. 11 watt cfl wont cut it lol...200 watts will are you using 6500k bulbs? They are best for veg

If you are running Hydroton as your meduim I would have started feeding at a low dose from the start.

Hydroton has 0 nutes and is completely inert..... btw you are going to have to water alot alot come later veg, and flower stages.... hydroton doesnt hold moisture very well at all. Also is this on a hydro ( automatic ) watering setup?!

Also switch to the 600 asap when u get the chance just start it up a little higher then normal and slowly lower it... since your running autos.... you need/want all the light you can get through the entire grow cause the veg/flower stage are basically together.
 
to be honest if your growing in soil you really dont need the hydroton. also start nutes soon. the discoloration in the leaves isnt detrimental, however it isnt good either. i also agree that you should put the 600 watt in as soon as possible. more light= happier plants
