Dont listen to Crave he seems like a butthead. But I can tell heat by the leaf.

Look at the top leaf. If the leaf tacoes upwards it is to hot. If it kinda claws down it is to cold.

The heat changes drastically on each part of plant so you will get different leaves lower down that are less hot obviously. You can tell this just by sticking your hand where a leaf is and feeling the temp. They like it at 75 degrees I've found. But that is 75 degrees at canopy not the temp of whole room. If whole room is 75, the canopy will be hotter significantly.

Keep it up, once you get a good system and understanding of the plants it gets easier. I recommend hanging out with the plants often and just looking at them but not touching. You will learn to just give the plants what they want.

edit=oh ya, I recommend vegging it closer to 24 hours some strains grow retarded at that kinda hours.

only kidding bro! you need to get the hang of the basics and be a LOT more patient with them...in turn you will learn their requirements and be more adept to meeting your expectations from your grow....there's an absolute lifetime of information in and around these forums so please spare the time and some patience lurking around other like minded people trying to achieve something similar to yourself....good luck and grow hard :tiphat:

For starters fix the temp. The canopy temp should be around 71 to 75 like Big said. What are your nutes? And at what amounts?

I think my patients will come in once i starting understanding more on growing

this is the first time iv been on a site like this that helps you

i use to never get on a computer lol

but with all this good info im pretty sure things will start working out

also that dwc bucket you mentioned

i have a little homemade dwc tub i made out of a little rubbermaid tub

but the only nutes i have is the m.g you mix in your water when you water the plant ,

would that work ?

also the air stone i have is not strong it barley puts out bubbles

i also have a little fountain pump , maybe i could use that aerate the water

I raised my thermometer with 2 1gal tea pitchers

and its at the same height as the top nodes now

temp went up some and the humidity went up also

So i just raised my light more so hopefully it will go down some

here are a few pics

Click on pis to enlarge









Maybe i should try to record it so you can see the motion better lol

dont worry about leaves that arent so pretty...lol. just let the plants grow. if you are giving them the basics they will reward you. less is always more.

I have had jacked up looking leaves on each grow I have done, 3 of them, and stunted growth probs, bugs, ph off, nute burn etc. But I got a harvest off all of them. You seem to want perfection and that is the problem.

I would advise a set it and forget it type of grow. Pre amended soil you just water and a bigger light than you have, so the harvest is worth it.

I think the OP needs guidance and to take his ritalin. He might not be a horticultural inclination type of guy but we here will change that. :)

I am assuming you are suggesting a organic grow? That would not be suitable for a person still in the "learning" stage. I suggest a single DWC type rig or a single soil plant with basic nutes. KISS METHOD.
Main Grow, Main Flower, and a bud booster (maybe cal/mag. depends on if he needs it or not.) Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) and you will get off a decent harvest.

Its really bright and sunny out right now

or should i just leave her under the hps since i just put her in their yesterday ?

Yea use the light at this point IMHO cause moving it inside-outside all the time is stressing the plant which will more than like cause a problem you don't want somewhere down the road.
