Just getting to it

[R3dt34rz]

Just a new guy getting into the hobby. Started my 1st grow just last week and now have new sprouts. Growing MOC Auto Pilot XXL and Blueberry Domina. Working in a 4x4 tent /air cooled 600 watt hps with carbon scrubber.

One question I have is the sprouts seem to have stretched a little so I lowered the light from 18 inches to 15 inches. What I'm noticing is just a slight bending at the top of 2 plants out of 6. Any ideas?

I'm using FFOF mixed with Light Warrior, Perlite, a little lime and additional worm castings. Aside from bending a little they look great. Just trying to figure out if they're bending due to not enough light. Thanks guys

Hey R3dt34rz, to

Congrats on your first grow! We started ours on Halloween night and it's been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had with another living thing.

Some thoughts on your question:

• Start a grow journal, no better way to have experienced growers help and encourage you throughout your grow. Someone might even save it for you, as we experienced. (thanks again Shigs)
• Do you have a fan making your sprouts dance around a little? This is required to make sure fresh air is getting into the micro-environment right around each leaf, and to strengthen your stems through exercise.
• Can you post some pics of your grow space and your plants so we can see for ourselves?

Sending positive thoughts into your grow, hope it helps!

Rifleman is right, watch out, it is true, growing tends to become addictive.
