First Grow Cfl Closet Grow

just bought clones seem to have dead ends an is my setup okay temp is at 74 f an humidity is 64 % put them in soil 2 days ago foxfarm ocean forest

Wuzzup nag420. Im new at this too. I wanted to give u a lil advice that I've been reading on here thru the threads. U wanna raise ur temp by at least five dgrees bcuz some strains don't do good with that low of temp unless its during the dark phase. Fox farms might be a little to strong for ur clones that's y u see a lil burn in one of ur pics. Other than that, give them a couple days to get use to the soil and see how those burned edges do.

They look to be doing pretty well. Don't worry about the temps so much - my tent drops to 50 at night and runs at 60 in the day and I'm having great results, have run at 100+ and done ok as well - 74 is totally in the safe zone. As Pjloudpack said give them some time and you shouldn't have any more problems with the leaves. Remember to underfeed versus over feed and underwater versus overwater and you'll do just great. Send me a private message or post in my grow journal and I'll answer any questions you may have.

Welcome and good luck!

the clones came like that an the highest temp i got was 76f so i plan on maybe just putting 1 more cfl in the middle an for flowering a 150w hps with the cfls an what ideal for humidity

an when would be a gud time to use nutes i just put them in the pots do u think the soil will be fine for 2 to 3 weeks

The soil has a bit of nutrients already in it so it should be fine as is for at least a week or two. If you wanted to start feeding in a week I'm sure you could but dilute the nutrients to 1/10 - 1/5 of the recommended dosage and slowly step it up each watering till you hit ~1/2 dose. If you want to play it safe use organic fertilizers - your yield will be lower than if you used chemical fertilizers perfectly but they are almost impossible to over feed with (I think the end product tastes better as well).

Hit me up if you need organic nute recommendations.

I've used tigerbloom but none of the others. Here is there recommended feeding schedule - if you follow it closely you should have great results.

these have been in the soil for 1 week today..... just wanted to know what you all think any info helps......i have 2 26w 2700k cfls an 4 19w 5000k cfls is it a problem to have the 2700ks in vegging an are the 5000k lights ok as well i plan on putting 2 150 hps lights up for flowering with the cfls.. also the room temp went up when i put the 2 26w in there...its at 76f an the humidity ranges from 46% to 56% will i have problems at these temps

They are looking good. 76 degrees is pretty ideal and humidity is fine. Ideally humidity would be high to start (70+) and lower at finish (50ish) but anywhere between 40-75 is fine.

Mixing spectrum is ideal. Generally a 3:1 of 6500K to 2700k for veg and the opposite for flower. I've used 5500k and they are decent for veg but not as idea as a 6500K - should still work all the same.

temps at 80f an 60% humidity is this a problem?.... an is it the higher the temp the lower you want the humidity?

This is week 2 tomorrow i just wanted to know if there
her is any way to improve my room in any way or adjust the light... im sure i need more fans an i need to start feeding nutes....her they are...


also in the pictures u can see thye room an the 150 hps should i put side light on the plants at there size. with the six flourescents in the picture..

i also kno hps is mainly used for flower but will it work all the way through to bud....
i plan on putting anothr 150 in there soon......

Plants are looking good. Get the HPS quite a bit closer. You want it around 6" from your plants or as close as you can get it without the heat at canopy level being to much (put the back of your hand under your light for 5 minutes and if it gets really hot that is too close). HPS is not the ideal spectrum for vegging but it does help quite a bit.

This is my 3rd week in vegging an i just start using andvanced nutrients a&b i had the hps to close an burned them but now lights higher so tell me what u think

The one on The left is Mystery Dawg & The one on the right is My chemdog 4 the mystery Dawg is bushy an doin fine but the chemdog seems to be growing very slow but catching up

So this is all three from a better angle an my AK 47 is the one all the way to the ritght sorry i didnt get a better pic just tell me what u think..... i seem to be so gud so far.....

is Ak-47 an Autoflower?

mysterydawg chemdog4 ak 47

thanks....would you know how to keep humidity down when lights out

Keeping the fan running should help.

Alright i have powdery mildew an dnt know what to do when in veg i used a mix of baking soda an water an it kept it away but now that its flowering i dnt wanna spray it please help asap
