Hello to all,
As it says in title 1st grow by a real novice.

Grow space is closet approx 2ft(d) x 3ft(w) x 8ft(h). I am growing 1 BB2 from feminised seeds. I have 1 400w dual spectrum HPS lamp. They are going in 10 litre containers with JI 2 soil.

I germinated seed in paper towel for 3 days. Once taproot emerged i transferred to soil mix(i watered until about 20% run off and allowed to dry for couple of hours before I planted).

I loosely placed cling film over the top to maintain humidity to start. I have light running 18/6 after 1 day in soil. It's about 2ft away from pot.

after 2 days shoot began to emerge through soil.

It is now 5 days since seed was planted and the baby leaves have turned green although 2 are slightly yellow at the end. I have checked soil pH and it reads 6.8 so pretty good. Any ideas what caused the yellow and how to fix please tell me

Thanks for stopping by.

day 7 since planting. it currently has baby leaves and is about 3cm tall.
can anyone tell me how far the light should be?i have it about 2ft away at the mo.
also when should i begin to see 'true' leaves?
thanks peeps
 
Hey Frosty and welcome to the site. Hopefully a mod can move this over to the New Growers Forum where you will get better help I think.

At 7 days sprout you should have at least your first set of true leaves now. Can you post pics? That would help us help you. :thumbs:

Light height is good for now until it gets a little older then you can drop it some to keep your node spacing at about an inch. Nodes are the levels or spaces between alternating branches on the plant.
Also, are these Autos?
Take care. :D
 
Totally agree with Squid. Nice job so far from what you say however! WELCOME TO AFN!
 
Ahoy Brother Frosty

Welcome to the forum. I know you are gonna enjoy the ride.

Bro, your setup sound good. I'm very interested in seeing those pics as they develop into juicy buds.

I'm a huge auto fan, but haven't grown them for about 2 years, but recently found myself drawn to the auto section when browsing seed banks.

What soil mix are you using??? I'm just curious to see what different mixes guys use.

But ja bro, pics please

Blessings
 
thanks everyone
they are autos yeah!
sorry didnt realise started in wrong place will contact mod!
it does seem to be slow but i think it is a slower one as it is supposedly quite big for auto.
im using john innes 2 soil from b&Q going to add some perlite tomorrow
oh i cant post pics at the mo i broke my phone!will borrow a camera tomorrow and post some
peace
