and the temps have mainly been between 25-28c, i think my main mess up is with the way i've been watering, as when i do it i usually go around the middle then the outside but i seen on a video yesterday and a guy said water in the middle till they get older, one thing i've noticed as well is the couple that have got to 3 weeks the lower leaves start to turn yellow and fall off, i don't check the water ph but have done a couple of random times and it's 6-7 using the paper sheets
i start them with the mars 300 light at 23 inch could this be messing them up, should i use my dual spec 300w cfl till they get older, also i've had the mars lights on 24/7 do yus reckon i should cut that down to 18/6 my intake on the growdrobe is passive would it be better if it was a fan sucking the air in
so i'm wondering if i should soak my soil before planting the seed and do yus just spray the soil for a few days or water the whole pot or just the middle till it gets older
should i start them with the cfl instead of the led's
i've read they shouldn't be transplanted but then i've read that it would be easier to start them in a smaller pot first
cheers and sorry for the moan lol
cheers
