Hey folks, figured I'd throw up my little adventure here and let you guys ride along. Also would like a little help diagnosing an issue I'm having. Anyways, let me throw out the specs of the grow....
Strains: I'm growing are blue kush auto and trans siberian autos. Been a while since I've grown, so figured I'd give these autos a shot and warm up again.
Area: I've got a couple lighthouse 5x5 grow tents
Lighting: now this is interesting. Because I ended up buying several lights. I wanted to try different ones and compare them to achieve the best results possible. So I have 2x 600W's, 4x mars hydro 96x5 reflectors, 1x mars 2 1200, and also have a 1000 watt cool tube vented double ended HPS/MH. This grow I'm using all led.
Medium: foxfarm ocean forest soil. Diluted with some seedling soil which is mostly peat Moss. About a 50/50 mix. Also made by Fox farms. Supposed to be ph'd between 6.3 - 6.8.
Pots: for the pots I'm using a smart pot knockoff I picked up at a local hydro store. The fabric bag type. They're roughly 3 gallon pots. I've got 9 of them. 5 blue kush and 4 trans siberian.
Been feeding just water. I'm on the 7th to 8th day depending on when you want to start counting. They broke ground around the 10th. Barely.
Anyway, I'm gonna upload some pics and would like you guys to help me out. I've only been giving them water until they reach the 2 week period. Anyways, 3 to 4 of the 9 plants I have, their leaves are sort of curling up on the sides. Or one even looks like it's twisting. Which from everything I've been reading is a sign of ph issues. But today I tested the ph on the run off, after I watered and it was just below 6. Checked my tap water I've been using is right around 7.3, which I thought was around 6.5 but I recalibrated my ph meter and found out it was higher. So it could be that but I figured the soil would have brought it down a little. Also the leaves have small discoloration. Like faint yellow spots on the leaves. Maybe the soil is still to hot for them? I have the lights sitting right at 22" above them. Maybe 21 since they've grown a bit. But they started out alot higher. And I moved them down slowly and the growth has really taken off since then. Maybe I should raise them back up? They're not on full power. Just veg. Anyways, here's some pics of my setup. I'm also germinating 3 blue dream, and 3 THC bomb for a nice full scrog grow. The seeds are just breaking ground. For that grow I'm using the mars 2 1200 and probably 4x 96/5 reflectors around the square 1200. That should be complete canopy coverage. Been ordering all kinda stuff to give me every advantage possible. I want to yield some weight on those 2 strains. Since both are heavy hitters. 6 of them in a 5x5 scrog should be sweet. Anyways. Here's pics.

Looking forward to more pics of your growing room.
