Hey,
Its is not the light leak... U have no worries what so ever.. For example. I have 4 1000 HPS in one room But I keep my tarp open 24/7 to the room.. Well outside the room I have some T8 5500k bulbs running 24/7.. The light from these bulbs shine into one of my rooms.. IT does not matter at all when you are in VEG.. Just don flash your lights on, off, 8 hours later on again, 2 hours off, 1 hour on again, get my drift?
These plants are WEEDs and very adaptive- all to much your going to get people getting to fucking technical-ignore them or something. I am cerious what lights you are using.. I would deff germinate some seeds, MOST likly they were male's to start, it just took them 3-4 weeks to identify and maybe even when u flowered them..
Now this is what I would do.. Ditch the MG soil.. Thats ment for outdoor. Get some good soilless medium and a very simple Micro Gro bloom by General Hydroponics. All in one L bottles-this makes things cheap for ya. I would get a pH pen and pH UP and pH Down. Try to keep pH at 6.4... This atleast will get u from rooting to harvest
When germ, place between some wet paper towels-keep very moist. Place paper towels between to plates or something
(one plate upside down resting on the other plate) Than plant into a beer cup or something, much like a 4 inch planting pot (filled with soilless medium) Also mix with a micro, grow, bloom at 3ML per gallon of each of your 3 part feed program.. Smooth sailing from their
I dont know if u already have a system down, but this is very basic and simple to follow. Its kinda how I do it, but mines fine turned for MY place.. U will be successfull going this route... Its bad shit seeds, esspeccialy if you bought them in a MIX by a seed company.. Remeber most of these companys are shitty breeders just trying to do a quick cross and mix.. Very few are the real deals with seeds close to the original strain.
Its not your growing.. Belive me! GL, if u have any question, feel free to email. Look for the strain called Chronic, its quility and yeileds great.
