My 2nd grow! Northern Lights, Master Kush, Skunk#1

[asd3reff]

Well, my first grow is about to finish in about 2 weeks, till then, i just put in paper towel to germinate 4 seeds :

1 x Northern Lights feminised from SensiSeeds

2 x Master Kush not feminised dunno' the seedhouse

1 x Skunk#1 SensiSeeds, not feminised.


Made a little box for veg, some mylar inside....overall same things as first grow... some more experience .... waiting advices and anything may help.

Till then, what do you know about NL and Master Kush? Anyone has grow those strains before?

just enough for veg. For flowering i'll use 400W HPS

anyone knows the differences between CFL's :

daylight

cool white

warm white

how i figure what type of CFL's i have?

[wiggely]

Daylight: 5000 k - 6500 K
cool light: around 4100 k
warm light: 2700 k - 3500 k

those are degrees k. for veg you ideally want 5000 and above. there is a chart in the advance growing section on how much light plants absorb and different wave lengths (other wise known as color tempature).

day light bulbs produce bright white light
warm light bulbs produce orange light, very different.

if you plug in you hps light it will give you the same color spectrum as warm light bulbs, the light will be orangish. is the clfs you have produce a different color light than your hps you should be fine.

after 2 days, all seeds germinated, instead 1 MK, which i'll leave it for a few days to see what happen.
The Skunk#1 i give it to a friend, so i have 1 MK in pot, and NL in pot. NL i just put it in pot now 30 minutes, MK already break the soil.

Even though CFLs are low wattage, I'd still be unhappy having them in a cardboard box like that.
Other than that, you're looking good.
If you still can, maybe repot your seedlings into smaller pots - this'll allow you to get your lights right up close to your plants
and use the most light possible from each bulb.

i already use as much light as i can..... is that good enough?

[asd3reff]

meanwhile i did a mistake..... i shouldn't put the MK under CFL's yet as the first true leaves didn't appear yet.... and she begin to die.... i did put it back under seedling maybe she will recover....

[asd3reff]

seems like MK dosen't feel too good even after i put it back in seedling... i did open gently those false leaves, and make space for the first true leaves to open.
NL is moving pretty good, but same color yellow..... any ideeas why they are like this ? when i germinate those Skunk#1 on my first grow, the first false leaves was green!

[asd3reff]

ok... so MK died.... and NL seems like is doing fine.... i put 2 more Skunk#1 for germinate, since one MK has died, and the other one is still in paper towel.

[asd3reff]

NL is still yellow... I DON'T KNOW WHY! It has the same soil, same light, same conditions like Skunk#1, and i really don't think will gonna make it till the end... but... we shall see... you can see the SKunk#1 in the left, and NL on the right. Any ideeas? Why NL and MK where yellow? MK died... now i don't know what should i do with NL
