Do you have a pic of your setup? Cfl work great do you know the kelvin specs on bulb? A lot of variables on how successful your harvest is. What strain you running ? Seeds, autos clones ? Soil, hydro ? Should plan on stepping up lighting when flipping to 12/12

Went out and got a PH test kit and some citric acid. I was curious to what I should PH my water to? Right out of the tap it has a PH of 7.0 and I'm using half happy frog and half ocean Forrest soil. Also I got a humidity and temp reader and it's showing an average temp of 76 Fahrenheit and 46% humidity? Are these numbers good or bad?

You really don't need to use the citric acid right now. 7.0 is fine. FFOF should buffer the pH to around 6.5 outta the bag. I only use citric acid when my soils pH starts getting over 7.0 and I need to slowly lower it. My well water is 7.2-7.5 and there's usually not a need to adjust it in soil. I started with FFOF, and it's since been turned into no-till.

You're numbers look fine. I have low RH here too, and it's not a major problem, just more watering.

Plants like the temps a little higher with LEDs then HID lights, but 76 is fine. The light looks nice.

Hey so after the night of having the fan set to turn on and off I took a pic of my temp and humidity gauge to show you. It has the lowest and highest of each , do you think these numbers are fine?

Looks good man. If you could keep the RH more stable it might be better, but I don't have a big problem with low humidity. It's super dry here, and my rooms are usually around 10-20% RH. Right now my gauges are saying 14% in my bedroom, and 10% or less in my grow rooms, lol. Not ideal, but it hasn't been a problem for me yet. Just a lot more watering.

Hey so I took a few quick pics a few minutes ago and was just wondering if the growth on these three little girls seems normal like I've said I'm new to this and I'm not too sure if they should be bigger or if they are fine. They seem healthy I'm just curious really ha so today was day five since they popped out of the soil, so do these look normal for day five?? Also I moved the light a little further away does that also seem ok?

They're just making roots so it seems slow, once it gets its first full actual fans in youll see it take off much quicker no worries :)

What is the white stuff on some of the leaves? Is it just water that's reflecting off the lights?

If you are spraying them with water right now, I would stop.

Still nothing too exciting going on haha but still Loving it! I'm really starting to see them grow now which is pretty sweet. Also I ordered another light and a tent so I have that to look forward to. But I'm not gonna post anything until I have the new tent setup with the new light so hopefully in a week I will have nice pictures of some healthy bigger plants to show you guys! Thanks for any input I've received from you folks haIMG_20200418_015210986.jpgIMG_20200418_015200028_HDR.jpgIMG_20200418_015153028_HDR.jpg
