[weenmeoff]

What size are the openings on your light? Probably 6"....?

 

[camper2016]

Bingo!.....they are 6".....thank you!! I promise, I would have measured before ordering

Hey there! Sorry I haven't been around much. Darn Responsibilities getting in the way. Lol! Plants look a tad bit yellow still. Do you wait till the soil is completely dry before watering or feeding again?

 

[camper2016]

Hey, Canna!! I thought I have....but I've done some wrong thinking already I've been doing the lift technique, so I think it's the organic pot mix I used which I mixed with vermiculite,,,so I think they are getting too many nutes and that will subside...imo
also the lighting and heat making adjustments there...I think it will all sort itself out.....just glad I listened and got a "easy" auto to grow for my 1st attempt.....please keep me in the grow loop

What I can say is the runoff I collect after watering the girls I have been giving the zucchini plants outside and they're growing bonkers...mutant crazy

 

[Canna Montana]

If you add a Tbsp per gallon of aloe flakes or powder, the girls will be super responsive. It's amazing how much faster they germinate and sprout. Then the aloe keeps them happy all their lives. We will use it through the entire grow from now on.

Thanks Canna I'll start doing that...

Where would one purchase aloe flakes or powder??? Saw some online...amazon

OK...that's exactly the same product I saw...just sprinkle on the soil around the plant? All at once or intermittently???

 

[camper2016]

Duh...so much for reading skills...so a Tbsp per gal of water...every other week?

 

[camper2016]

OK...feeling better about the heat/light thing...just checked the gauge and it's 39% humid and 89F....thing is I have the ballast 40" above the plants (could raise it another 12") so maybe a simple vent will be adequate

Every time the plant gets water or food, we give it.

 

[camper2016]

That's cool....I'll do that....more pics of the babies

 

[camper2016]

Thank you

 

[camper2016]

Oh yeah.....last reading has 40% humid buy 92F temp....so the temp creeped up a little

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

There starting to look better already. 90f is still a little hot but workable.

 

[camper2016]

Thanks Amazin.....appreciate you posting and helping me out

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Anytime buddy, I've been looking through my gallery pics and found one when I was having Temp issues. Thought I'd share it here to make you feel better.

 

[camper2016]

No smiley face there....last reading just 5 mins ago had 39% humid and 90f temp....so I think if I get a duct fan and just siphon off the hot air it should all work out ok
