headband sour diesel-opinions? (pic heavy) 1st soilless grow

alright so im currently growing a single sour diesel and a single headband plant. the headband just sprouted today. and the sour diesel is exactly one week old. both are in 30% perlite, 30% vermiculite, and 40% composted peat moss? i know its not good to use but at the time i hadnt found the right store and had to settle. the nutrients that im going to be using this grow are all general organic brand nutes. bio thrive, for growing and blooming. calcium magnesium, bio root, bio weed, bio bud, bio marine, and black diamond. im using a econowing reflector with a 200 watt 6500k cfl feliz light. with 2 other 26 watt/ 75 watt equivalent and a 13.5 watt 3000k led light. more than likely late on in the grow i will purchase more lights for the veg stage. im using 3 four inch fans. they seem to have done a pretty good job so far. no excessive heat and the light bulbs are always pretty cool. the inside of the tent is covered with emergency blanket and will soon be covered with mylar. i have given the sour diesel plant one round of nutes. only biothrive, camg, bioroot, bioweed, biomarine and black diamond. i only gave them like 1/5 of what was called for because it calls for 5 ml per gallon. i only watered 1-1 1/2 liters the first time. the next time i water i will water with pure water. ill continue to post pics. any opinions and ideas on ways to make it better would be awesome.  View attachment 1317533

 

so entry number two...i watered the sour diesel today. with two liters of water and again with 1/5 of what it calls for. the next few times i water will be with just pure water. the headband plant seems to have gotten a tiny bit smaller. is this enough growth for 24 hours? should it be more? im worried i dont have sufficient light. the pot its in, the coco pot, thats a pot that i can plant into another pot without removing the plant right? just curious. i got those as a promotional deal and didnt want to misuse them and i cant seem to find out any information about the smaller ones. any input is awesome. also how often should i water the seedling in that pot? whenever its dry and wet the whole medium or just use a sprayer and dampen it?

 

also i wanted to ask, the stems on these two plants are purple but the temperature doesnt differ much and its never really below 73 degrees. max 82 degrees. what could be the problem with this?

 

So I transplanted both plants into one gallon pots and in some cocotek and ran a liter of water through both. Both are still highly moist. Lowered light to about two inches...

alright so I missed day three so day four. watered with ph neutral water only today. received 20% runoff. I needed the extra space fir a few days so I took the smaller pot out of the one gallon pot. Will replace on Wednesday. Sent from my LGL86C using Grasscity Forum mobile app

Yeah...what size fan do you have keeping that cool?Sent from my LGL86C using Grasscity Forum mobile app

 

I'm thinking about getting a hps for flowering instead of a 2700 cfl. you think a couple four inch fans would keep it relatively cool?Sent from my LGL86C using Grasscity Forum mobile app

 

that's what I do with mine. I'm just worried about the temperature in there. hopefully it's gonna be ok. I'm gonna go get one in a few hours. I'll let you know how it goes.Sent from my LGL86C using Grasscity Forum mobile app

 

[quote name="willbo" post="19098472" timestamp="1386141159"]Yea I usually put one on each side, oscillating, it strengthens the plant and keeps it cool.Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Grasscity Forum mobile app[/quote]after much research I learned there's no way around a ballast with a hps...bullshit. But oh well. gonna update in a couple days.Sent from my LGL86C using Grasscity Forum mobile app
