New Grower Uncle Seamus's medicinal (first time) Auto grow

[Uncle Seamus]

Hi Everyone!
Decided to do a journal so i can keep track of it all a bit better, and hopefully get a bit of help along the way.

Decided to follow Tangs easy auto feeding schedule, appears simple enough

Set up
2.4/2/1.2m bud box
2x 600w lumii's
6" outlet
5" outlet which i haven't set up as yet.
Small fan in corner

Righttt, so far ive got 7 flowers on the go. With a further 2 to go in tonight
All Autos.

Half in plagron light mix, others in biobix light

3x Afghan mass 00S - Afghan#1 sprouted 21.9.17 [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]&[HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] 29.9.17
2x Northern lights 00S - neither of which look to be making much ground
1x Critical dinafem
1x Sourhand

2x Stardawg's should be going in tonight.

Am currently on 18/6 light schedule, with the lights/fan going off at night. Am now thinking i should have the lights running through night, as temp drops ?

The stalks on my newer afghans are much longer than others, appears they may topple soon? light too high?

That's it for now, i think. Sure i've missed something?

Anywayssss looking forward to see how things pan out - fingers crossed!

All the best and thanks for looking! S

aww fuckin hell yeah mate!
thats how you set up a first grow!!! awesome strain choice, great space, healthy lighting, your gonna do well here man, ive got a very good feeling about this. seen a lot of guys follow that feeding schedule doing very well. looks like youve got your head well screwed on.
if you live somewhere cold it is best to leave the lights on during the night. electricity is also more expensive during the day so its a bit cheaper to have lights off 12:00-18:00 or whatever. if your worried out them toppling over, wich can happen, then put a tiny wee stick in the pot and very, very loosely tie them up. just for a few days till the stem gets stronger. its not essential as they generally bounce back up anyway but it can damage the bottom of the main stem sometimes. i dont know about hps lighting to advise on distance tbh but ive no doubt someone will turn up shortly : )

@budelee can help with the hps distances. I dont have a clue. You can find out what the manufacturer recommendation is too.

Thanks for the replies guys! yeh figured i could stick a small prop next to 'em. Just baffled as to how they've shot up a fair bit taller. Sure ive got a decent camera somewhere. Them pics are crap. Seem to be getting a bit of up curling on my afghan1, she's my main squeeze, ive a lot of faith in her.
The northern lights, sprouted up about 15mm, then just stopped. Fear they may be a non starter

 

[Dudeski]

Be patient, not sure about the curling. Try to get a few pics of them posted.

Thanks for the mention @Dudeski , my answer is based on heat/ age, i was using 600watt HPS and while 30 day old plants could handle a distance of 18 inch from canopy top, smaller/younger plants might need a bit more( distance)!! I
