Hi and Greetings to everyone,
I'm a new grower and I have a few questions about how to proceed with my very first plant.
I'll start with all the info that I have available for my plant.
If I'm posting in an incorrect section feel free to move this thread to the correct one.

Unknown strain.

Indoor (closet)

Age: 18-19 days old.

soil:
new
Ph unknown
Compost 30%
Rabbit humus 10%
Californian earthworm humus 15%
Pearlite 20%
Vermiculite 20%
Peat 10%

Lighting:
HPS LAMP 400w
16 inches away from top leaves.
18 hs on 6hs off

Watering:
Tap water exposed to air for 48 hours.

Ventilation:

Two 6 mm coolers
100mm fan at plant's direction 5 inches away only when light is on.

I will now number the questions I have and hopefully you'll be able to answer.
I know that some of them may be already answered if that's the case I apologize beforehand.

1) I would like the opinion of any experienced grower on the current state of my plant
(you might see an overwatering symptom wich has been solved already)

2) Can darkened tips be asociated with overwatering?

3) I noticed a small irregularity in one or two of the leaves is this some kind of symptom or is just the way the plant looks?

4) What are the max and min distances I can place the lamp from the plant in order to mantain steady grow but not to burn the leaves?

5) According to height and age does this plant has a normal growth rate?

6) Any advice you may think I'll need for growing?


Well that's pretty much it, thanks in advance and if there is any more information you need in order to answer my questions I'm all ears.

Every space heater can be used as a fan turning down the heat potentiometer, I stated it was a fan in the thread maybe you should read through the whole thing before posting.

So, a week ago lower leaves started turning yellow. The plant slowed down grow rate A LOT and the top leaves are looking fine.
Soil PH is around 6.2 to 6.5 and water ph is 7.0
Could this be a sign of nitrogen def?
Thanks.

how tall is that? the little leaves near the cotyledon that yellow are no biggie I would say using the N to make the top......dunno if the 7.0 would cause lockout but ur soil ph looks right so I would say N.......my guess.

About 11 inches, cotyledon already fell off, those are actual leaves, this is only happening in the lower leaves, top leaves look fine I'll try nitro tomorrow and I'll update in a few days.

I'll probably cut and clone in a few days, I fed the plant some nute compound and it picked up pretty fast.
Today I noticed some grey tips on some of the leaves ( 3 ), is it because I overdone with the nutes?.
I noticed some yellowy tips too, ph went down to 5.8, 5.9 so I guess I fucked up a little.
