1st ever grow. Superskunk clones in tent. Help needed!

hi peeps. This is my first ever grow. I'm upto a point where I could do with a wee bit of advice. First i'll fill you in on where I'm upto with my grow.

I'm using a 1.5 mtr grow tent, 600w halide bulb especially for vegging, I've got an intake fan and an outlet and also a clip on fan inside the tent to circulate air and strengthen the plants. Average temperature is about 80 F and humidity usually just over 40%. PH of the water is 6.1 which I've been told is perfect?

I'm growing 4 superskunk female clones that I aquired from a friend. i'm growing them in Coco and perlite mix in ten litre pots. I transplanted them from there little pots straight into the big pot two weeks ago tomorrow.

Two of the plants are thriving and two have hardly grown at all. Although in the last few days they've started growing a lot faster. Two new pairs of leaves each !!

I'm using canna nutes. Cant remember the exact measurements. I've got it all written down somewhere. I'll find it later!

Anyway all has been well so far until a few days ago I noticed a few tiny yellow spots on a few of the leaves from the bigger plants. i also noticed that the stems in some places where turning a light shade of purple. I was hoping someone could maybe tell me what it is . Also on the surface of the soil its turning a bit green in places. Only a bit. None of this seems to be stunting growth that I can tell anyway. Take a look at the pics and any comments about my first set up and any help with problems is appreciated! Sorry limited pics from my phone. i'll try and get some better ones. Oh and i'm growing just for personal

 

anyone?

 

Thanks dude. Definately no bugs but i do mist with the lights on. Is that bad?

 

Well I was thinking about giving them a day or two without any water at all. They'll be OK won't they?

Other than that little problem do you think they are looking healthy? The first two weeks of grow seem to have gone smoothly and now I'm starting to get paranoid about everything!!

Must roll a spliff and think things through

 

More pictures for you. The two weaklings are are there close up. They've improved a bit now though. That pic was taken a few days ago. They were all planted at the same time.

Thanks for looking

 

Thanks man. Does anybody know how long I should veg for? I was thinking of changing the bulb and going 12/12 in about 2 weeks depending on how big they are. That will be 4 weeks vegging,

Also does anybody have any idea on the flowering time. I heard about 7 weeks?

Thanks

Peace and happy tokin

 

Thanks for all the help so far guys! It's much needed.

No more daytime misting. i'll just mist them once when the lights go off from now on.

Ok the BIG issue at the moment is watering. i'm reading all sorts of methodology so far and I just can't put my finger on the right thing to do.

So far i've been watering each plat twice a day. once in the morning and again in the evening. I've been giving them about 350ml each time I water so roughly 700 ml per day. For me I think this is too much but the guy I got the clones off says this is the best way to do it, i'm not sure.

They are in ten litre pots and i'm using a coco and perlite mix as my growing medium. The nutes i'm using are listed below.

Canna coco A - 60ml
Canna coco B - 60ml
Cannazyme - 40ml
Rhizotonic - 40 ml

This is mixed into a 20L feed tank with tap water that I've left to stand. I keep the PH at about 6.1.

What do you guys think? Am i over watering?

oh and can anybody enlighten me about topping the plants. i've heard about this but I'm not sure how to do it or if it's too late.

Also if anybody knows a good way to make my plants stretch out a bit that would be good because they're growing more bushy and i want them to get a bit taller. Maybe i'm expecting too much after two weeks??

I'll post more pics when i can!

Peace

 

OK so I've given up already

The surface soil was starting to look seriously dry so I gave them about 200ml each of my water nutrient mix. Is that bad? I'm starting to panick again!

Also now I've stopped misting them the humiduty in the tent has dropped right down to 31%!!

What can be done. Ima roll a doob and ponder

Thanks for checking in

 

I would really appreciate any feedback here peeps

 

Cheers bro.

I need as much feedback as I can get here. Will over watering cause me big problems.

The thing is this a joint venture with my housemate and he's pretty adamant that we should water everyday .....
