UK Grow Log

Hey guys this is my grow log, I am growing 5 plants and will post updates here and also be asking for help, just planted them into bigger pots and will be putting them on the windowsill once in final pots, not sure if my light is close enough to the plants though, I am growing the following;
 
Jamaican Red
Jamaican Yellow
7 Pot Jonah
X2 Orange Habs
 
Let me know how my setup looks, help always appreciated... I accidentally put them in mature plant soil but they seem to be doing fine..
 
My current lighting schedule is 18 on 6 off.

The jonah looks pretty good but the others look a little sad.. Is the soil a little dry perhaps? Or maybe the temp is a little high?

I will give them a watering now, don't think the temps are too high as my Accuread Temp reads 28c inside the grow tent, not sure when to start giving them nutrients as they only got repotted 2 days ago.
 
Started to feed nutrients now, grow tent 18 hours on 6 hours off ( lights ) inside temp is 27c or thereabouts, bought another seedling (Lemon Drop) and he gave me two other seedlings for free, a cayenne and a orange habanero, put them in to Rhizo Pots, lets see how they do.

It's how I received it, I have watered it and plated in good soil, has the heat it needs and the light, hoping it will be alright.

Maybe the grower will replace it if it doesn't make it?

Not so sure as that was one of the plants I got for free, I only ordered the Lemon Drop and he gave me 2 extra plants at no cost :)

Can't look a gift horse in the mouth I guess.. lol
 
Just posting more pictures, Habaneros growing more leaves, some looking not so great but others look fine, the 7 Pot Jonah is really really green, I guess that is a good thing? ha

What light you using there. Some look a bit leggy so you might need to up the rays a bit. Be a good idea to start staking some of the weaker stem ones. Looking good otherwise.
 
Nice little set up and what is pleasing to see is your right on top of your housekeeping keeping the environment nice and clean

18 on 6 off is right for seedlings but you could now relax to a 12 on 12 off lighting regime as you intend to put them on a south facing window sill. CFL is enough to get them going. Have you a fan to circulate the air if not a simple desk fan which plugs into an iPhone plug works well

Soil concerns me it looks very heavy and dry. A good hydroponic soil such as BioBizz Light or All Mix is light and fluffy which easily drains at £12.50 for 50ltrs it's the best investment you can make ensuring you get a good crop. Is your soil John Innes No 2. What nutrients are you using you should be concentrating on building up the roots, next time you pot on bring the level of the soil right up to the base of the lower set of leaves. Hidden stem will then produce roots giving you a stronger plant

Your Jonah is going great guns .... very healthy

All the very best for a fruitful season

First off thanks for the help, I will adjust the lighting timer and have just connected my fan and I will run it whenever I run the lights, the soil is John Innes but the ones in Rhizo pots have this soil https://www.growell.co.uk/growing-media/soil/tropic-mix.html
 
As for nutrients I am only using this stuff; https://www.growell.co.uk/propagation/propagation-nutrients-boosters/shogun-katana-roots.html
 
I have just watered them also and the soil looks a lot better but when I pot on next I will use the soil you recommended.
 
Fed my plants with nutrients today, fan on them and lights on for 10 hours now not 18, I think they look OK and should produce for me.
