2nd try at growing my own

My setup :

600W LED MARS HYDRO
2x2x4 tent w/ inline fan and carbon filter
Humidifier
Oscilating fan

Grow medium: Biobizz Lightmix

Ph range - 6.3-6.5

Day temp - 26-28C

Humidity : 65-78%

Light schedule : 20/4, now 18/6 due to extreme heatwave we having.

Germination menthod: soak 18hrs +jiffy pellet



Germinated 16thJune 2021
Jiffy pellet 17th June 2021

Broke soil 18th June 2021


Planted in perm pot on 3rd day as tap root was starting to curl underneath the jiffy.



So far im on DAY 6. such a difference to my first badly PHed fail growth. See last pic for comparison. Lmao. Well i know now what healthy seedling looks like

@DCLXVI hello sir, tagging you as you asked, i think im on a right track so far with this lil one. What do you think?

Day 6! Looks great so far!

Looking great growmie! Looks like you have everything setup for a good result.

Light schedule : 20/4, now 18/6 due to extreme heatwave we having.

Why don't you switch the lights on/off? ie, The 4 hours off when it's the hottest part of the day. Maybe that can help keep the temps into the right range? Although I would be more concerned about the humidity. That is alright for now, but needs to get lower near the end.

The lightmix holds onto water pretty well so you may not have to water everyday initially, but don't let it completely dry out. It hardens up and gets crusty if ya do.

Stay on ph-ing everything you put in.

Thats what im doing actually!!
I got it set to "sleep" from 12pm to 6pm currently. As thats when the light and heat really hits. It was till 4 but man it was still hot af. Hope the heatwave eases off. I did buy a big portable aircon, hoping that will solve my issues later on.


Thank you sir. Yes day 6, im shocked by the great growth so far!!!

I have watered first day, then next watering was today!! Definitely Phing everything, I've learnt my lesson

Day 10 and growing rapidly..
The only funny thing i noticed is, that the first set of 3 bladed leaves is warped funny. .
Guess its just genetical oddity? Idk
Other than that, looking super healthy and growing at turbo speed

Hey that's a nice start! I don't worry what the first leaves look like anymore. I've seen so many guys on here with mutant babies that turn out great.

What kind of water are you using? And do you have an EC/ppm pen/meter?

I started using distilled water from the store when mixing nutrients and cutting my tap water 50/50 for water only days. If you are using tap water, I'd advise at least letting it sit out in an open container for 24hrs to let some of the chemical treatment dissipate.

I looked into a reverse osmosis system but it's so easy and cheap to pick up a couple gallon jugs at the store. They are 0.88 each here. I usually only run one plant, two small ones currently. 2 gallons lasts a while. 1 gal is ~4L .

Yeah I figured I'm not gonna worry about the first leaves Lol.
The other set coming in is separated properly i checked

Im using Filtered water, BWT magnesium enriched filter. So i use it straight from that after PHing to about 6.4. Of course On a more tepid temp scale. Sometimes i dont even have to PH after it sits for a little while.
My tap is over 8. 5 ph and filtration gets it to between 6.7 - 6.9. Yesterday it sat for a while and was straight 6.5!!


nothing touches this baby without checking ph and ppm.
