SO, this is day 34 of my first grow ever. It is mostly an experiment for this first try so the yield is not a huge concern, my main thing is to get everything at least 99% so the next grow will be perfect. Both of these plants sprouted on the 19th of october, i've had them under 24 hour lighting since (2, 42 watts cfls - 1 per plant). This is a stealth grow or , more so on the stealth side - the dimensions of the box are 24inches H, 20 inches L, and 14 inches W. I have 3, 80 MM case fans (2 in take, 1 exhaust) along with extra exhaust holes at the back. The room is covered in mylar top to bottom, I have a water jug that i put in there also to maintain humidity. When i had put the plants in the box was pretty dull, no fans no mylar not much just lights. I was having extreme humidity and temperature issues. (humidity like 10% and temp exceeding 120 f) after adjustments a few weeks later, i was looking at around 17% humidity and box temp at 98 f. a week or so later a few more adjustments , 92-94f and roughly 22-28% humidity. and now my final adjusments as you see in these pictures, my box temp is just steadying out right now , but its at around 88f and 35% humidity. Now for the plant side of things. I used only water up til a few days ago (Nov 19th) was my first nute day, and ive been altering watering with nutes 1 day, and just water the next ). As i know with all these temp and humidity jumps... my plants suffered serious trauma, also at the beginning i was watering every 2 days... so im sure i under watered them aswell. im almost positive the one is pretty dead since i havent seen real growth at all, the other one seems to be doin ALOT better from the pased 2 weeks grown 3 nodes ( since i started watering every single day at appx the same time every day) on the plant with actual leaves, the botom few leaves are yelow pale, and brown - but new growth seems to be good, and the nutes i started using are fox farm big bloom. the other plant, leaves are brown and green, and all the bottom ones died and fell off.. Although this is day 34 and still under 24 hour lighting ... my plants are no bigger than a average BIC lighter, even the one thats on its 5th node. NOW - for my thoughts, i know ive done things wrong, as i said this was my first grow ever. but im learning lots and every day i pay attention to detail as much as i can. this is mostly a hobby , but one i love and one id like to pursue in the future. so if i could have the experts advice on their thoughts, that would be great. im willing to invest a little more money - i have spent quite a bit on this bad boy , but some hobbies are expensive right!! If i have failed to mention anything - sorry and please feel free to ask!!! PS. I APOLOGIZE GREATLY FOR THE SHITTY QUALITY - saving money for a new camera (using webcam right now)
