Well this is my first grow and I'm hoping its a successful one. Growing Nirvana White Rhino and Mandala Hashberry under a 250hps with some organic soil I got at the nursery with added perlite. Also have some FF Light Warrior that I'm gonna be throwing into some of my pots. Gonna be using FF Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom along with Liquid Karma when the time comes. Germ'd in tuperware on top of my tv and had 10/10 show a tap root. I'm kinda worried because 1 of my plants already has a bad case of the leaves drooping as seen in one the pictures.. I'm pretty sure I didn't overwater but I could be wrong. Could this also be underwatering. Also, I woke up this morning to find that what I think is pretty bad light stretch. One of my plants was pretty much laying on the edge the dixie cup. I have a couple others that everytime I wake up I find them leaning really hard in one direction and I usually try to rotate the cup to promote growth to make it stand straight. Is this light stretch? Should I move the light closer. Right now its about 2' away. I'm thinking about going to get some straws and put the stem through it as a support beam. Here they're 1 week old:
Yea they're definitely stretching a bit. You have enough power with that hps light, so perhaps it's too far away from the plants. You may want to put it a little closer but be careful not to fry your seedlings. Whether it's underwatered or over-watered, you should know best. Just don't water until the soil is dry an inch deep (or maybe a little less since you're using small cups). Good Luck.
