Hello GC, this is a journal on my first grow. I will be using a 1000 watt raptor '6, secret jardin dr240 8x4x6.5 grow tent. the soil I will be using is coco loco and farm fox ocean. after the first two weeks and a half ,I transplanted to bigger smart pots and used ROOTs organic 747 formula.as a top dressing I have been using bat guano MEXICAN and JAMAICAN, and a happy frog complete fertilizer 6-8-4 and granular humic acid, all that was used as a top dressing for two feedings I have had my clones for about three weeks and came to me two weeks from clone. Also in my water which I been mixing in five gallon buckets, I have been mixin EARTH JUICE- grow and catalyst. five teaspoons each. HIBRIX molasses, sea kelp from RAW, Epsom salt and PH DOWN been feeding at 6.0 and 6.5 Lights are on 18-6 cycle. been keeping my temperature from 82 to 60 its even dropped to 57 in the tent which is why I am posting I was wondering how much of a stunt effect the cold has on my strains which should be grape fruit sour diesel hash plant cookies and beast hunter. fresh air comes in via 4' duct. no fan just breeze. and hot air is removed via can lite carbon filter thru 6' duct to cool off lights and released outside. bet my neighbors are gonna love me. so on Monday march first ill be on my fourth week of vegetative stage one more week and ill be putting in the hps bulb here are some pic im down for any advise as I would love to trial and error until I get it down to a T.first picture is the first day I had them .

posting new pics also one of my hash plants has been looking strange the new growth tips are skinny and no new growth has been noted
Looks good man. Using tap water could be the reason for your situation. You have a lot of stuff going into your water it sounds like, too. Could be too much stuff. You could be overwatering, as well. Fans and air movement are really important. I would get a fan in there asap. Just my opinions. All in all it looks like your off to a good start. Keep it up!
Yeah the soil should buffer the ph so you don't need the up or the down. Ag is right about not using tap. You may want to use a heater at night. 57 is too low. 60 is max I'd go with. I personally like a ten degree diff in day and night temps. Looks like a slight over water as well. Good job so far. You have a lot of supplies haha!
Thanks guys and welcome to my journal. I set up some new pics ,the new growth on my hash plant is consistent now and is looking better. I skipped my usual Monday feeding. also I have a fan on the ground and since where I live in Colorado the days have been getting pretty hot I bought a outdoor evaporative cooler works awesome I can even put ice and control my rooms humidity thru it as well. Set up my heater in the room outside the tent and now room is at 63- 60 at night. thanks again guys. STAY UP first pic= two hash plants the one on right is the one giving me a headache. close up of new growth Hash plant. heres my beast hunter strain looks a little droopy at times hopefully pure water will do.
also CM do you think maybe my plants have been stunted from the cold at night? my soil is at 7 ph should I just water distilled water which is gonna be a bitch
Hey what up Buy a filter like a boogie blue and you'll have 30,000 gallons of the best water you can use imo. Yes cold nights will do it. They look good though.
Most def CM thanks for your input im going to have to buy me a filter then. Yea with my heater on last night it gt to 62 hopefully that will do during the day I stay at 75-82. thanks again man both of you guys your threads have helped me picture exactly everything I was doing wrong and right. STAY UP" smoking that ocean potent grown "
