Little help with a small cab grow?

  1. Hey guys having some issues hope someone could point me in the right direction. Had some nutrient burn so I flushed it for a couple days with plain water, nutes I'm using are miracle grow for acid loving plants, I only fed a little bit before I saw the burn, I moved my light cause I thought it might be heat stress but I'm just not sure at this point I feel like the plant should be bigger for 20 some days old. Light is a 250w CFL 6500k on a 24h cycle. Temps stay between 82-88, looking into getting a better exhaust fan to get it down further if that's the issue. Soil is plain topsoil mixed with 30% perlite and 10% vermiculite. Any and all constructive input welcome I'm new to this.

  2. you def. want to stay away from nutes right now. she's just a baby. also, i'm no expert, but i wouldn't use any miracle grow chemicals. in the future, you probably want to stick to organic nutes, but wait until she matures a little.

  3. Way to young for nutes, especially MG nutes, I'd steer clear of anything with MG on it. They burned for sure, keep watering with just water for alittle. And let your pots dry out really good before you water again, cause your pots are soaked.

  4. Also, one 250w cfl is like 65 "true" watts. I'm using 10 100w cfls for one plant, because they are only 40 true watts each. You're prob gonna need a lot more light if you want her to grow.

  5. No you don't understand, it is 250 actual watts I do know at least that much

  6. Vivosun says it's around the range of 14k lumens but it's probably closer to 12k

  7. Perhaps a bit overkill in the PH longrun, but I do like these bulbs, been going strong since day one even if they run a bit hot, probably get their 2700k bulb for flowering chamber later.

  8. ok that's a positive. The harsh chemicals are the culprit then.

  9. Okay update on the cab now that I got things a bit more stabilized in there. Popped two more seedlings which struggled for a while until I changed to an organic soil. Transplanted into solo cups with Dr. Earth for vegetables. Immediately saw a turn around in the plants within a week. The one shown previously did not survive the transolant. My question now is, a. I have some uneven growth on the one which I think is due to slightly damaging one of the leaves on one side and I saw the growth become biased to the opposite side. Will it even out eventually? Should I even worry about it? And b. The second seems to be having trouble developing a stem thick enough to keep it upright. I have thought about giving it a split to help, but since I have fans going in there I figured it might figure itself out eventually, I don't have that problem on the other in the same cab. I'm waiting for them to get a bit taller so I can top and clone for sex. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated, at this point I've started a 1/4 strength feeding program and will gradually up it every other week from here until I flip.been watering every two to three days with water phed to around 6-6.5. I don't plan on transplanting again until I start mainlining while I wait to see the results of the cloning and sexing.
