all looks good, just wanted to get some feedback from the regulars. 2weeks old no nutes, just purified water. what do you think? when should I start nutes? about 3-5inches from t5 Do i need to make any changes? any other advice you guys can give me?
They're lookin pretty good. I can't tell if you watered just before those pictures or not; Might be a wee bit over watered which would cause a little drooping. You'll want to wait on this for more input, but I'm pretty sure you can drop the light down further, so it hands 1-3" from the tops. With t5's you can get nice and close without problems as long as your temps are good and the plants are not complaining. When I am judging the light distance I like to only change alittle at a time, so if I went too close, I didn't go WAY too close and fry everything (HPS lamp). I'm really gentile when it comes to nutes, and I don't start them nearly as early as everyone else. 1/4 strength is good to start out with, though I might hold off for a little while on the nutes till the plant is more stable. Biggest bit of advice: get yourself supplies to test and adjust the ph of your water. Or, since you are not on nutes yet, you can take a sample to a local hydro shop and see if they would test out the water for you, just so you can get a good baseline. but really..I got a ph kit for 10 bucks, it's no biggie. I hope that helps a bit. Keep up the good work! LD
gave them some water yesterday and today they look like this. Should I b worried? what do i need to do?
wait until they dry out to start feeding them. start at 1/4 strength and work up to full strength. 1 gallon of soil for each month the plant is alive. so you have 1 week to get it in at least a 2 gallon container.
