Hi all, have been checking out the info here, there is a lot to read, lots to learn, and it looks like plenty of good people out there spreading the knowledge round along with good vibes and encouragement. Have used the info here and have taken the plunge, the first grow is underway. So my set up is such.
Went for NFT, liked the control it seems to offer, and low maintenance (So Far that is!)
Using a 250W osram HPS lamp
All housed in a grow tent with two fans, one pulling in air at the bottom, the other pulling it out the top.
Only other thing was the addition of an air stone in the tank, from what people say the more O2 to the roots the better, and helps fend off root rot?(Correct or not)
Ferts are vitalink brand, 2 part for veg stage, same for flowering stage.
For germination managed to pick up a heated propagator for little to nothing from a local garden store.
Seeds were obtained from a good source, put ten in small rockwool cubes, and all ten sprouted in 2 days, honest 2 days! which caught me on the hop a bit. Thought it would take MUCH longer, left them till roots came out the bottom, picked what I thought were the 4 best looking, (What the heck do I know, you live and learn dont you).
Did the same, waited for the roots to pop out the big cube, and into the tank. that was a week ago.
Now with luck pictures are here for you all to have a look at and comment, my question, and please remember it is my first grow, how do they look to you?? are the leaves too big! sounds stupid to some of you, but should they not be a lot thinner than this?? I am kind a working on the thought, bigger leaves, more area to capture all that yummy light to convert the nute into green stuff, that will turn into green stuff, if you know what I mean.
Any how take a look, and let me know what you think.
Many thanks to all the good people here, your advice and the general chat is always top notch, peace and good vibes to all.
