Jock Horror in Rubbermaid Grow Box - First Grow

thenoffya

Hi all. I am growing Jock Horror inside a rubbermaid grow box. I have four 30 watt, 2000 lumen, 6500K full spectrum CFL's inside the box. I am using foxfarm Lightwarrior for soil, with no additives, and I will probably use foxfarm nutes when I get there. I germed the seeds using the papertowel method for a day, and then planted. Right now, I am at day 5, and have sprouted 5 of the six seeds I planted. The sixth seed broke open, but never lived, so I was semi heartbroken about that. The first pic is from two days after I planted, with two of the sprouts above ground and another one showing, and the second is five days after planting, with all five above ground. I have a question though. You can see the heat mat I am using in the pics. When should I stop using that? Thanks

Oh yeah....This is gonna be nice. Let me be the 1st to say I'm following along.

Where'd you get your beans from?

And as far as the heat mat...once they're above soil and looking for light....you're fine. But it's good to use one if you have one while you wait for them to sprout. Good job.

if you got yours from nirvana it'd be a good comparison of phenos to mine.

I did get mine from Nirvana, just before they started cracking down apparently. They look even nicer today, all five have their second set of spiked leaves coming in..... is there a technical name for the spiked leaves as compared to the round ones that come out of the seed? I'll probably remove the heat mat tonight because its pretty warm in the box, and I think that that is the reason why. No pictures today, probably after the weekend I will have some new ones. Thanks all!

Hi all, no pics today cuz my camera won't accept batteries (?) for some reason, but I have an urgent question. The leaves on a couple of my babies have brown ringed yellow spots across the center of them. From what I've been able to read at home, thats a PH problem. Any help? How would I raise or lower the PH in soil with household stuff? Thanks all

Pics as soon as I get my camera rolling again.

OK I have pics now. You can see the brown/yellow spots on three of them, and some closeups, but I don't think it's PH anymore, since all five get the same water. Plus I tested the soil three times and got approximately 6.5 each time. Could it be heat stress? It is very warm in the box(see pics), which is weird because I have a 63cfm fan in there, theoretically replacing all the air every 8 seconds or so. And outside the box, it's only 72. Any ideas folks?


But it's not letting me upload all the pics. I have some of the growbox itself, but I cannot upload them also.
