    Default New grower. seem to be doing okay. wonder what height to use (second hand LED light

    Hi. My first grow in a tent has four little ladies. 3 1/2 weeks old and have done the first trim to manifold them. Scary, but they seem to have recovered nicely. I have some odd looking things I am a little concerned about, but I have done adjustments to keep temperature up, which has brought the humidity up. I didnt realize, but when i checked temp and humidity the were around 19C and 35% , so I am hoping the odd leaf structure is carry over from those initial days. Having trouble adding photos, but hwen i figure it out, will add. Cheers all. Which forum should i go to (if that's the right terminology)?

    First welcome to the talk matey. second, check the manufacturers website for optimum heights. Don't worry if they use a different plant its still accurate. Just easier to sell if it's not a canna plant

    Welcome to the forum bootsy.
    I would recommend going to the newbie section and have a good read of the stickies first.
    You could also start a diary there to get the help you will need.
    All the best with your grow

    Both your temps & RH are a little low mate

    Aim about mid 20's for temps & try & get the RH to at least 40% (50% would be nice but let's aim low to start with as RH can be a bitch!)

    Thanks. i have my fan set to keep humidity down. Would you make a suggestion as to the setting? temperature, i will increase. I will be going to see the newbie section as suggested, but one last thing - should i keep the circulation fan blowing on them on all the time, or just periodically? Much appreciated. this is fun.

    welcome buddy
    you really need that temp up, whats your lights off temp? or is it roughly the same because you using led?
    thats why i like hps especially during these cold times, the heat given off helps
    you would need to add an oil heater during lights on atleast
    blow heaters would dry your room out even more.
    invest in a humidifier buddy, im currently having to use 2 big ones with a 3rd on standby
    if i help drop a THANKS its free
