My first attempt at growing. Here's what I've got. The stems to the plants are red, one of the plants looks really poorly(sick) the leaves are yellow and drying out. Also I think my grow space is too small after looking at some of the other threads. I have just reduced the lights from 18 hours to 12 hours 3 days ago. I've been growing them for 7 weeks now, I sent away for the seeds, so I'm pretty sure the seeds were good...........................Any advice would be welcome. Here are some pics of my sicko plants..... P.S How big a space should I have with 2 400w lamps? Also how many plants would that handle.....
no fan? prolly got stale air in there if u haven't.. but hey, i'll leave this to the guys that know best.. my efforts are pretty poor (blush) hope u get sorted
By the looks of it they are rootbound, so get them in bigger pots. The main rule is 1 gallon per 12". And the space looks ok for a 400 watt HPS. But since I don't have much experience growing myself yet I'm not 100% sure. It's just based on the 100's of threads I read. Good luck with them!
Two 400w lamps would cover a 6' x 6' area optimally, but could stretch to about 8' x 8'. The red on the stems could either just be the strain itself or possibly a phosphorus deficiency. Usually, though, if it's the nute deficiency, it's more of a purple-ish color than red. And yes, the yellowing is because it wants more room for its roots to grow. ~Lycanthropy Edit: In terms of number of plants, two 400w lights could handle 8-10 30" tall plants, but the space could be manipulated through methods like SoG/SCRoG/hydro.
