Hey everyone this is my first time ever growing anything, im about 5 weeks into my grow which started as outdoor from bag seeds and 2 bubba kush seeds. For the first 3 weeks i grew on a balcony outdoors and in grow tent under led for the past 2 weeks.

My setup is:

48"×48×80 grow tent
600 watt led
6" intake fan 240cfm
6" exhaust fan 240cfm
Stand up house fan for circulation
Feeding fox farms grow big
Potted in miracle gro hydrate soil
Used super thrive during transplant

I am currently running 18/6 photoperiod, led is about 10-18 inches from top of plants.
Temp inside of tent ranges from 70-86° Fahrenheit with humidity between 40-60%, trying to figure a way to get heat down maybe bigger exhaust fan thinking of inline exhaust with 440cfm.

Bubba kush in small green pots are 3 weeks old

Posting pics and feedback, suggestions or comments are appreciated

Yea i have them at 10 inches i dont think the stretching came from the lights it started at the beginning of the grow on the balcony.

Concrete floor?............if your in winter, place some poly down to insulate.

I prefer to build a table inside the tent, and have the hood/cool tube hard against the tent ceiling. IMG_0060.JPG
This does a few things: don't have to bend down all the time - this table is designed so that runoff runs to the center and empties below the table into a container, therefore, reduce problems with excess water inside tent.

He means if you transplant them in to a new pot you will put them in lower in the new pot and build the soil up around them to give them more support

Nice man, how is that miracle grow hydrate?? I have started to get it twice but I was afraid it had nutrients in it. Is this considered a DTW system? I am doing this myself and wondered if I could use that MG hydrate and extra perlite for a DTW system.. thanks for any advice

No my system is not considered a DTW system, i would use Coco if your thinking DTW system, MG hydrate is a decent soil has nutrients but only enough to get u thru the first month of grow without ferts just switched to Fox Farms Ocean Forrest and Fox Farms Light Warrior 50/50 mix and it is a world of difference from MG Hydrate, but as i said if going with the DTW go with Coco
