So I've done a ton of research over the past few weeks in preparation for my first grow attempt. My plants have been above ground for about a week and in the past two days I've noticed a couple of things. One, there hasn't been much growth in the past few days and two, the first serrated leaves are starting to creep upwards forming a V.
I'm thinking the main light (a 200 watt equiv cfl) may have been too close at 3" so I've moved it a couple of inches up to see if that does the trick. I've also got an oscillating fan blowing in the case to keep the temps down in the low 80's. So does this look like heat stress to you?
Maybe I'm just being an overly concerned parent...
Some other points of interest, ph of water is being kept at 6.5, soil is an organic mix 0.4-0.6-0.4, and I may have been over watering a little.
