Red Diesel | Ak-48 | Ice - DWC - 400 Watt HID - First Grow!

Yeah it is, theyre taking ageeees. The 6 inch netpots havnt reached the bucket yet i dont even wanna think how long the 1 10 inch pot is gunna take. Total pain in the ass since I have to hand mist them till they do

Day 4

Wondering how close I should move my light to the seedlings, heat isn't a problem but from what I've read to much light can be a bad thing and especially on seedlings. I currently have a 400 watt mh bulb 15 inches from the plants. Is this to close or could it be closer? They're about a week old now. Any advice would be apreciated

Seedlings sprout under single 18watt flouro tubes so dont be too eager to give too much light at this stage, you will be able to judge the light better when its bigger by internode space and stretching. Peace

Day 5

Red diesel is getting worse, I'm going to try cutting back on my watering schedule. At the moment I mist them multiple times a day, any suggestions for how much I should water or anything I can do to try to get the diesel in better health?

get that humidity up...43% for seedlings is bad...get it up to at least like 65-70

It's not bad, it could just be better. I'm not going to stress myself over humidity right now

Day 6
Red diesel still looks pretty bad but a new set of leaves are coming in, the AK-48 is looking pretty good and the ICE is having some slow grow. Hopefully there roots reach the res soon

Yer dude your lights have been killing them bad style unfortunatly, next grow some flourescents for the seedling stage i think.

One consideration i have is if your temps and lights are that stressfull for the seedlings the bigger plants are gona suffer too. Is that the best temps your box gets? What fan you got and is it in a sealed room or can you draw air from outside? Kinda worried this heat and temp issue might not go away if these make it. Im looking into an air cooled reflector soon as a way to futher controll temps in my grow. Peace

Move the lights to the top of the room. You are killing the poor little things IMHO. More humidity and less light.

Well firstly It feels more humid in there then what the thermometer says, I wouldnt trust it for shit its a cheap 10$ one. It doesnt get very hot in there.. Today was the hottest day so far and still only got to 86F for like 30 minutes cause i was arranging things.. generally its only 68-75. I have plenty ventilation.. The tent is only 24 cubic feet and I have a 400 CFM inline fan exhausting and a 80CFM fan intaking

Its exhausting the air out the window, aswell as intaking air from outside so i really dont have heat & ventilation issues.

Do the other 2 look bad aswell?

I don't see how that looks like it's being killed but then again im new to this.

Been a while

Been a while indeed! Looking beautiful, nice and lush growth you've got going on there

Yeah sorry, theyre about a month into flowering (about 2 weeks in that pic), 1 month vegged

The first one is red diesel the second one is Ice and the third is ak-48 however I pulled it as it had some health problems early on and was still tiny compared to the first 2 so I wanted to give the bigger 2 more room.

Ill take some more recent pics later.

Looking good dude

Gonna be chopping soon. Sorry I didnt take more pictures, ill take a couple of them now and after i chop them

The Ice plant got huge.

Harvesting tommorow will be the 9th week of flowering

Since I had a huge lapse in time for this thread Ill just post come pictures of it throughout its cycle




I ended up pulling the ak-48 due to it being a runt and to free up space for the other 2

nice grow hows the red disel havent herd much on it but looks good

Harvested it today, these pics don't really do it justice. Haven't really got to try it yet but will do a smoke report once it's dry.
