found it!! Tag me next time mate

with this new grow.
Oh, what does the Lecter taste, smell like?

Neat setup, killer beans, good grower... I see great things in 10 weeks! (edit: OR less!)

Say, what's the wattage on that green tube heater you've got? I know we can't get them over here but I've seen something similar. Just a bit spendy if it hasn't the oomph to actually heat a space.

Some Seedlings were a tad leggy and falling over so I put some more soil around the base to support them.​

Don't understand why they got long considering I'm at 22 inch high @75% power.​

Gonna let the roots on the nursery pot go into the water to see what I can do lol

I have seen and had many a seedling stretch like you describe until I really delved into lighting. The lights you are using probably are more biased more towards 3000k and the red spectrum(great for flowering) and some plants simply want more blue light when younger than other strains desire.

With my custom setup I run a more violet/indigo/blue/cyan spectrum thru veg and then when the stretch is almost over and flowering starts in earnest, that is when I remove half the full spectrum strips and put 3000k and additional 660nm strips in.

Thanks @DCLXVI
The heaters a 55watt tube heater, a 120 watt would of been needed last grow but Thier cheap on amazon between £20 & £30

First one or two always gets chopped at day 60 ish.
And then when them 2 are dry the others come down 2 at a time.
last ones harvested at around day 70ish

You have some nice healthy girls started there!

I really like those heaters, too bad they can't sell them over here....

Not that I’m a veteran or know what I’m doing but surely if you drop it 8-10 inches and put it down to 40/50% they won’t be as leggy…. Maybe I’m wrong lol

Could it be that I never sowed the seeds deep enough,
Cos they were pretty close to the surface when I dropped them in and covered them, the water washed soil away when I added some water after planting and didn't help lol.
I've never had them this tall and on the 5th grow using this light and same strain, Also could the light be losing power considering its been on solid since I got it
lol its only been off in total around 3 hours

I've turned it up to 90 last night .
But will lower it a few inches when I go down now soon and reduce power,
Thanks mate
