New Grower 21 days into first grow

[Prez2.0]

Brich, what temp is ur grow area? Colder temps slow things down. Having same issue. Add cfl bulbs for some heat if need be. Hold on nutes till ur auto shows sex at least. Also dont use tap water its got lots thats bad for plants. Get big bottle go to local grocery and get some reverse osmosis water

Wow these are exact issues and questions i have. My humidity is low also but the previous room I had it in temps were getting to 90 in my cabinet. Is it better to be around 71 to 77 or higher than that? I thought it would hurt my plants being so hot in there. Ibam running hydroponics though. Are your root showing or not

I have found that with leds in order for the plant to eat the nutes up the temps need to be close to 30 degrees celcius. I keep my Rh between 40 an 50 %. I am growing auto extreme and think diffferent I started feeding them I ml per liter at day ten which is quater strength. A 700 watter is a big ass light too maybe raise it a bit to get a stretch going but get feeding them asap

Ok so I cranked the humidifier back up to high, got to about 60% humidity, and moved some stuff around and got the light back to about 32" up. I know theres no set guidelines, but ive read so much conflicting info, ive seen great grows with the same light at 42" and some at 20". I have a small heater in the room keeping temps during the day from about 75-84 and down to maybe 70 with the light off. I do have a fan moving air and I know the powdery residue isnt mold or mildew. Also been feeding them distilled water with a little tap to bring PH up around 6. I fed almost a gallon to the 5 plants today after not watering yesterday and added "regular strength" week 1 nutes which were 11.5ml add.27, 2ml grow A, 2ml grow B, 2ml root starter, and 2ml calimagic. I was hesitant to add so much add.27 but we'll see how they like it.

Been learning a ton and I already want to start grow 2 since ive learned so much so far! Thanks for all the help and advice everyone:Cheers:

Very interestttinggg... I have been dicking around and I have found if I turn my extraction fan off, crank the humidifier, I can get 65% at 30 degrees on the canopy, 29 c ish ambient. I noticed they did perk up.

I run 900w and I run it at 24" - Maybe slightly warm on the canopy. And NO stretch....

Good advice thank you! GL BRICH99

Being so new and so clearly bad at growing right now I cant offer much in return for the help but I did come up with a pretty ingenious DIY the other day. So I saw a thread when I was researching the mars hydro light about someone whose hanging kit failed. Being a worrysome guy I knew that wire and cheap clip kit had to go and I had an old punching bag hanging chain so BLAM!:xlaugh:

I know they arent very impressive but a good feeding and a watering yesterday and the ladies are looking much better (but still on par with most 14 day pics I see despite being about 24 days old)

Thanks for all the help everyone! F'ing love this site:tiphat:

And just imagine thats the big girl! If they produce a bowl pack ill be excited. Can never get mad at mistakes as long as im learning. Maybe grow 2 will be journal worthy
