1st Grow Diary: Super Lemon Haze 400W SCROG

Hello all, following the trend of posting a grow diary, I thought I'd do the same since it's my first grow and I can surely learn a lot from all the helpful people around here

For my first grow I was given some feminized seeds of Super Lemon Haze and have decided to go for a SCROG.

Setup

• 400 Watt HPS (Philips Son-T-Agro) with Cooltube
• Extractor Fan + Carbon Filter
• "Secret Jardin" Darkroom 1x1x2 (meters, so 1 square meter of surface)
• 125 Watt CFL (4000K) for seedlings

I have attached the first two pictures of the diary, one of the growroom and the other of the seedlings.

I realize the seedlings have had too much vertical growth already, unfortunately I was out of town for the few crucial days and asked a friend to take care of them, which he did but they did stretch too much. The CF is now much lower and stretching has stopped, hopefully they'll be fine and topping will solve any problems for the future.
As I say, I'm planning on doing SCROG so any suggestions are very welcome, if you can point out any early mistakes,etc...

Thanks for taking time to read

 

Thanks, the grow space is actually a pre-made Secret Jardin growtent.
I had a plan originally, but then comparing expenses it would have worked out similar and I like the idea of a transportable growtent for the future so went with that.

The lights can go up and down a certain amount yes if that's what you meant, at the moment I'm using a very close CF for the first 10 days or so of the seedlings to try and keep them short.

Thanks!

 

Yes I realize they did stretch an awful lot.
As I mentioned in the first post I was away for a couple of days and a friend took care of them.

Since I got back I moved the CF literally 1-2 inches away and they have stopped stretching.

Hopefully I'll be able to keep them from stretching any further and fix the problems with topping when the time comes.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll be sure to do all those things to fix the stretching.

And forgive me for posting in the wrong section, is there any way I can move the thread or can only admins do that?

 

Hello there,
I was hoping someone could take a look at the pictures of my seedlings and tell me if they're wilting or if they're ok.

They look slightly sad to me...

Perhaps humidity is too low, an average of 35% up to 40%, too low?
125W CF is quite close (1-2 inches) but isn't too hot I think,

Guidance and suggestions very welcome, thanks

 

Should I increase humidity?
Are they wilting?
Anything else I should do?

 

Help please!

Hello everyone, the babies are now two weeks old and seem to be doing well enough.
I recently switched on the HPS which I will use for both vegetative and flowering phase as I can't afford a MH and the CFL I was using was too small.

Can someone please take a look at the close up pictures and tell me what they think?

I'm not sure if they're over/under watered, or if it's time to give them some nutrients as I have so far relied on the soil's nutrients (started in plagron light mix and then moved to canna professional)

I'm using a 400W HPS with cooltube, currently at a distance of 20 inches or so (it's not hot at all at canopy height, and they've been showing these signs even before the switch to the HPS)

Some of the leaves are showing some yellowing and are curling to the side and warping a bit.
Some guidance would be highly appreciated

Thanks a bunch!

 

Yep that's a DR100 from Secret Jardin.
Seems to be doing it's job well so far, as everything in life it could be bigger but you have to make do

Here's an update of the plants, starting to tangle nicely in the net, I'll give them a few more days/week in veg and then switch to 12/12





Cheers!
