First ever grow!

Lackasham · Feb 27, 2018

Hello all, I will be journaling my first ever cannabis grow and I invite any advice or positive thoughts!

Space: 3x3 diy tent

Method: Scrog

Light: 2x QB 288 on single heat sinks 240h-2100ma meanwell driver

Medium: viagrow coconut coir in 3 gallon fabric pots

Nutrients: General Hydro Flora series is all I have right now

Genetics: 2x Northern Lights by Sensi Seeds and 2x C-99 by Female Seeds

Seeds have popped taproot and are currently in some organic soil filled red solo cups. I will be putting those under the QBs 24 inches or so and dim the boards way down tonight. Hopefully we will be peaking above the soil tomorrow.

Here's to a great first grow, cheers!

So we have our first set of leaves on all 4 plants. How long until the second set typically? I feel as if my first babies to pop are growing a little slow

I have the qbs at about 24 inches, dimmed completely. My temps are a bit inconsistent but i keep it under 84. I run around 70-80 lights on but lights off is where I have problems. I am running in the attic and have lights on at night. During lights on I haven't really had a problem keeping temps in a good range, but with lights off during the day i can have issues. Ac venting into the tent brings it down to 65ish but at times it has climbed above 80 for a few hours.

As far as RH goes I was sitting pretty good (65%-75%) but now its dropped a bit, its sitting in the mid 40s. That seems low to me but I really don't want to mess around trying to raise it too much as I live in more humid climate as is and I feel as if too low RH is better than the other way around. Any input would be great! Cheers yall.

So after some research I decided I am just impatient. Growth rate at this stage is fine though I don't think my conditions are ideal. Still struggling with low humidity (dropped to 35 at one point today, back to mid 40s now). My other issue is my room is getting too cold near the end of lights on (early hours of the morning). Last night it got as low as 61. I'm going to run a small space heater set to shut off at 65 tonight to try and offset the cool but I don't want to dry the air more either. All of that said my best plant is showing signs of a second set of leaves now and the other 3 babies are looking very strong. Still welcoming all advice and discussion!

Looks great for 7days

Day 16 and I'm running into some problems. Transplanted to 3 gallon fabric pots with coco about 5 days ago. Plants were showing signs of second set leaves at day 7 and they all barely have a second set now. Growth has slowed way down, and the plants just aren't looking healthy. Will post pics tomorrow. Can I get my babies out of this funk?

Pics?

Lackasham · Mar 14, 2018

Went up and took a few after posting but now im having a trouble uploading

Jk here is one, this is a northern lights and she isn't looking toooooo bad

Lackasham · Mar 14, 2018

This one is looking the worst, she is a c99. It has been at about the same place over a week and its a little light in color. The edges of the leaves are darkening though kinda brown.

Top pic is NL and she isnt doing terrible either

What do you think is 'wrong' with it? I'm on mobile so I don't get a huge view of the pics but it doesn't look bad, maybe just slowed down when you transplanted, transplant shock happens though and it *should* recover once it settles into the new medium. When you transferred to the new container did you water them afterwards?

Yes if I had to guess it would be transplant shock as I did it a bit early. I didn't water right away because I am an idiot and transplanted right before lights off but I watered well right when the lights came back on.

Thanks for the advice but I don't think I want to give up on my girls just yet.

Checked on the babies today. The worst looking one is looking worse than yesterday, but the other 3 appear to be bouncing back.

it's encouraging and try to seek advice also on this forum if there are issues beyond you as a new guy

First ever grow!
