this little black thing on one leaf i hope it's not a parasite or something similar if it is how can i remove it?is it even posible?
They need proping up lol so there uprite again. Never done but some add soil to support or repot up to the first leaves. As for black spot not sure could be a form of damping off which is an over watering problem but dont quote me on that.
Difficult to say, leggy = low light or too much red spectrum. Spot could be too much or little food or improper food, also Rock. The babies like to dry out a bit before their next drink, and good drainage (holes in the bottom) is a plus,>)
They're gettin' so tall they can't hold themselves upright, so yeah that's bad, they're stretching towards what little light they can find. But they'll pull out of it if a better light source is found:>)
my plants are fine now no black thing ) it was a food problem hehe and the leggy thing is over i just bring them closer to light tnx Naturalhi just tell me on these photos if u can see are my plants normaly advancing now?
They look good,>) To answer yer 1st Q, I use T-5 flouros to veg. They come in 2 foot and 4 foot lengths. They also come in 2 different wave lengths of which I use both equally for veg. Having said that, at the moment I'm trying out the new UFO 90 watt LED type in the veg room!<)
Thanks natural high, you bragging again about ufo's? Hehe dont blame ya i would too. You really should.nt have any food problems at such an early age and to me that would be a sign of poor soil quality coz you should.nt be needing to feed such young plants yet. Quick note... With damping off as it takes hold you will start to see the fungus on top of the soil kinda looks like a white frosting also clean all pots well after and never reuse soil.
Rock, nope just testing them. I haven't used dirt to veg in a while, and when I did I used Fox Farm (which is already juiced with food). Now I have FF nutes in the tank of the flood table, so The little'ns get nutes right out of the cloner/seed popper which has another sort of starter nute so I'll bow to yer expertise on this one!>D
Thats what we like to hear ^^^ Not the most active board in the world but there's some good advice floating around in here from some top noch growers. Hey natural high no need for that we're all here to learn or spread the good word.
100 watts of what? Lighting come in many forms but mainly for mj ppl use high energy discharge, cfl and led's. A 100 watt sodium or halite will cover around 2 square foot and would be place about a foot above plants fans and cooling are a must with this kinda lighting they get very very hot. 100 watts of cfl mainly ya run of the mill eco bulbs or tube lighting will cover just over one square foot and would be place about 6 inches above plants. As for led 100watts bit of a guess but would cover 6-8 square foot i'd think and can be placed almost on top of the plants. When choosing a light ya looking for the magical 2000k 2400k 4000k and 6700k range.
since this is the first grow, go get a couple CFL's or Flouro Tubes.. Flouros work great for the Vegging, dont cost much and produce very little heat - I have seen some great results (sticky buds ) with people using CFL's through Veg and Flowering You could be spending hundreds of dollars on LED and HID lighting, with the lights themselves and the power bill.. though, you could get a full spectrum Metal Halide bulb; that will work for both the Veg and Flower stages since it produces the Blue (veg) and the Red (flower) light spectrum's Remember that Watts dont exactly equal Lumens.. You want about 3,000 Lumens per square foot for vegging and about double that for flowering.. The light spectrum you want is as RockLobster said, 4000-5500 for Vegging and 2000-2400 for flowering Heres a nice little chart I found on google :cheers2:
I put one light(from the picture above 6400klight) 20cm away from plant ,temperature is around 19-22c is that ok?
