Second grow.
Soil 100% coco coir
perlite
mist maker 3
tower fan
auto pots
T5 4ft 8 tubes.
Germinated seeds as in first grow but left under plastic dome for five days took plastic dome off and left to dry out under lights and give it a little water still growing.
Temperature 28° then turned on mist humidity 50% then plants stopped growing my mist isn't a fine mist which I've seen people use it seems to be a very heavy and cold mist,could that be the problem.
I have got a couple of questions if anybody could help me with.
1. Auto pots the reason why I am using coco coir because people say it's very forgiving i.e. if I over feed them they can be flushed out easy.
can I start off in small pots using bat mix and then transplant them into auto pots using coco coir the reason why the bat mix has got nutrients in which will give them chance to feed for the first couple of weeks.
2. How long can I keep them under plastic dome some people take off after a couple of days but some people say keep under dome until plans don't fit.
3. Is my mist to close to my plants because I have it in a 15 litre bin with a lid and started off with 2 holes 1 inch diameter but when I turned on my exhaust fan the humidity dropped so in the end I ended up with 6 holes to get the humidity up to 50%.
4 should I turn on my mist when I take off plastic dome. I am sure I read somewhere not to turn on mist until plants rooted in properly if that is the case it could take up to 2/3 weeks.
5. There doesn't seem to be much stretch between nodes from what I have read my lights on temperature 28° humidity 50% lights off temperature 26° humidity 45%.
On my first grow lights off temperature was up and down ranging from 19°/26° humidity spiked up and down 22%/30% never really paid too much attention to just let it do its natural thing. I have been trying to keep the roots zone warm.
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks
