Meant to start this sooner but I guess starting here's just as good too.

This grow will be done under t5s the whole grow, currently under a 4ft 8bulb t5 with 6500k lights. I just ordered some bloom bulbs 3000k and they should be here Monday. Plan to swap out 6 of the 8bulbs for the bloom.

I germinated the seeds in riot cubes on May 16, they poped up on May 20.

They were planted in 3gal pals of promix amended with buried treasure batnitro and wormcastings. Since then they've been fed FloraNova Grow once a week, every 3rd watering. Each pot gets about 2 liters of water. I recently added some peppermint Jim's mint soil rejuvenator.

It's now June 8, they are currently on day 20, week 3.

Tag along for the grow, I'll update every couple days. Got about a week and 2 days until preflowering starts.

So i just swapped two bulbs out for bloom bulbs, and last night added a scrog, my plants are all close to the same size except one that outgrew the rest, even though I read throughout the internet not to stress autos I did anyways. Some of the tops are poking through already and I've began weaving them untill the lower branches catch up. Anything to keep my canopy as level as possible and give maximum light exposure. My t5s are positioned 8inches above my scrog. Tomorrow marks the beginning of week 5 (day 29) I just gave them another veg dose of FloraNova. I've read you shouldn't feed them flower nutes until about week 6. I'll be swapping 2 more bulbs for bloom starting week 6 and another set again at week 7. It's my first time with autos so I'm experimenting.

I was wondering if you can prune the lower fan leaves, or will it stress the plant too much?

I cleaned the bottom of mine and topped mine once too just to see what they would do, if you are SCROG'ing and super cropping I wouldn't worry about too much stress coming from a little loli popping but that's just me

My temps usually hang between 77°-84°, with the humidity 40-55%.

The super croping and scrog don't seem like they affected the plants much. The tops were saluting the light when I woke up so I folded them over again. I included a before and after of the tops, I also decided against pruning and instead just started tucking the larger fan leaves under the lower branches.

I just scored a 6" blower from craigslist for $35. I think 440 cfm should be more than enough to bring my temps down, my tents only 4x4x8. I'll be installing it tomorrow.

I swapped 2 of the 6500k for the 3500k, so now I have 4, 6500k and 4, 3500k. I'll probably swap another 2 out in a week or so.

Here's some of from yesterday, everything seems to be coming along nicely. The plants that broke their tops don't seem to be affected very much.

Post another update once the lights are on, any tips on gaining weight? Today marks the beginning of week 7 (day 43) they've been needing after every other day - 2days.

Alright thanks for the tip, I'll stop. I also added another fan at canopy level to help with air circulation. Got any other tips

Try to aim for MUCH more even canopy,especially when growing with a Florescent of any kind,the scrog net is great,you just got to use it :)
