How do my ladies look? 3 weeks Veg, First Grow

[Kronic Budz]

Ok, this is a pretty long post and would appreciate it if u read it, and would offer me advice. Conditions at bottom......

I just hit day 22 when these small clones took the soil. They were planted strait into 3 gallon pots each and have been watered every 3-4 days and started using E.B. Stone Bat Guano Organic Nutrients (9-2-1, and was reccomended by a grower at local store, hehe) after the first week and having been using the reccomended dosage and seems to be doing fine.

These clones started out 4 and 5 inches tall and are now around 7 and 9 inches, they have also grown healthy green leave sets and strong stems from keeping a small fan on them 24/7. Only some of the lower leaves have dried out and died on the snowcap and not so much on the sensi.

I am concerned with acouple things at this point. Is my snowcap stretching from being to far away from the light? Am i getting enough lumens or w/e for my grow space? And do i have possible soil rot at the bottom of my pot? I think this might be the case because when i water each plant i only use about 16-24 ounces of water/bat guano tea and i have NEVER seen any water leak out the bottom holes that i have screwed. But it seems to be enough water for them and i usually let the soil get pretty dry on top and when i stick my long *** fingers down in there.(3-4 inches down)



Plant conditions:
- 15-18 / 9-6 hours lighting scedual
-temp: lights on(78-82) lights off (60-70)
-humid: 45-65%
-growing space; homeade greenhouse material, 3x3x5 ft. inside a shackhouse, 10x8x7 ft. (my smoke shack!) lol
-ventilation: small fan inside greenhouse, bigger fan and small heater for the nights kept in Shack house.(look at pics)
-regular all purpose indoor/outdoor gardening soil....??

-2 20 watt cfl twisties above each plant around 6 inches away. And just added another 14 watt cfl aimed so it hits both lights pretty well and just put that light in less then a week ago.
- E.B. Stone Organic Bat Guano


Anything i have forgotten to add in please let me know. Thanks alot for your time and help.

anyone..

They are looking for light. The more the better you might want to do some LST to them as well.

One question, is your grow room walls green? if so you need to cover with mylar ASAP. Green wont do you any good and your babies need all they can get.

 

[schlendrake]

They seem to be nice but you will need more light in the very near future

 

[Brouli]

add light and you need it now couse by the 2 month you plant will be 2 feet tall + your light is too far from plants

im planning on getting the lights closer and adding another cfl or whatnot. Im also going to put up that mylar stuff. thanks guys.

You can keep the lighting at 24/0 if you want. Also get the lights as close to the plant as you can. What kind of light do you have on top of them right now?

 

[Kronic Budz]

they are 2 compact flourescent lights that are 20 watt. Then i just threw in a nother cfl that is aorund 40 watt and is pretty darn big.lol. I keep that so it fasces both plants but im thinking of getting one of the big ones for each plant.

ever thought of getting HID lighting??
you can pick up metal halide or high pressure sodium HID lights,for relatively cheap on the 400w range.

15-18 / 9-6 hours lighting scedual

..a "consistant" number of hours is needed for sure. That schedule will definatly give you hermies.
HID lighting is more efficient, costs less per lumen, than flourescent lighting, too.
