Setup is as follows: Intake - 2 4" Passive holes Exhaust - 6 IN" inline fan w/ carbon filter. Lighting - 2 30 Watt 6500K CFL, 1 42 Watt 6500k CFL, 1 42 Watt 2700k CFL ( currently on 24/0 cycle, temps around 81 degrees) It is four days in and i think that is is looking pretty good, as you can notice in the pictures some of the leaves are pointing upwards, any reason for that? I know it is still a baby i will be posting more pictures as it matures. Ive been watering the rapid rooter with 6.5 PH adjusted aged water. Nutrients i plan on using are Floranova for flowering and Age old grow for vegetation i plan on using nuts within the next 2 weeks or so. Any comments, questions or tips would be appreciated, im looking forward to see how it turns out.
Is this a hydro grow? if so then a ph of 6.5 is a little too high. (which would explain the curling leaves) I've never grown hydro (I'm halfway through my first grow in soil) but I eventually plan on making dwc buckets and I remember reading the ph should be somewhere around 5.5-6 (look it up online for specifics.) but nice start to your grow.
I'm growing in a rapid rooter and the "oranges" are hydroton pebbles which is used for a substitute of soil. Yes this is a hydro grow, i watered my rapid rooter this morning with a PH of 5.5.
Update: Lights have been off for 48 hours due to power problems, all lights are back up and working and plant is still looking healthy, pics to come soon - will the 48 hours of dark affect anything except for slower growth?
