Hey guys, so this will be my first post on here hope you all can help me. But i recently purchased a pack of greenhouse femenized seeds, and i am growing great white shark and white rhino.I got them in 3 gallon pots with Foxfarm ocean forest mix
Im growing in an indoor closet that is probably 4x6 and 8 foot high, and the walls are coated in mylar. Im using a 400w hps bulb(all i got for this grow,until i get MH) with a hood.However the hood is not air cooled at the moment so it gets pretty hot when the light is on.I do not have a digital thermometer so im not sure what the real temp is but my regular one reads up to 90,and i have read thats max temp for weed. I have a oscilating fan running 24/7 pointed up at the light, and giving the plants a gentle breeze also. So far its about week 3 or 4 of veg in a 18/6 light schedule.
The problem im having is the tips of my leaves on my White Rhino are brown and dying and there is also some yellow spots on them. The great white shark isnt as bad but it also has some brown tips as well on 2 of its leaves. I haven't used any fertilizers yet, because it is my first grow.so I do not think its a nute burn(could be defeciency however).Also i have been watering my plants about once every 3 days, whenever the top 2-3 inches of the soil is dry i water until i see it coming out the bottom. I have my light about 34 inches away from plants because i think it may be a heat issue i did have the light closer. Id like the lastly state this could just be me freaking out cuz its my first grow, but i hope that isnt the case and there is a way to make my babys look better Any help would greatly be appreciated as im looking to maximize my grow <3
Excuse me if the pics are bad quality they were taking with my droid phone.
