Wow man, such an inspiring post. I've been researching a lot and finally joined the board like a week ago. I'm at the stage where my gear is piling up, just waiting on seeds. Going to setup this weekend, the wait is killing me. I'm going with a soil grow (fox farm ocean forest) though and plan to document the process. Thanks a ton for taking the time to journal your experience, I read it from start to finish and was at the edge of my seat with the gnat and cal/mag trial and error. Really good stuff man.

Hey thanks for following along, I bet you can't wait to get started!! If you ever have any question feel free to ask me!

Good luck buddy
 
Nice grow man, doing similar things. Have a 2x2x4 tent with an LED and Nirvana seeds as well haha, although Northern Lights.

Next grow how many plants you plan on putting in to fill that space? I know you started with 3 then 2 then 1 but what do you think would be best? I'm thinking of grabbing my healthiest 3 with a shorter veg than you.

Can't wait to see the dry weight / pics!

Hahaha that's crazy similar.
Well currently I just germanted a blue dream bag seed I had. Im going to try and see if it's a female, but I plan on getting a 4x4 tent in the upcoming months.

My biggest problem was vertical space. Make sure you tie those bitches down if no SCROG fur sure
 
That's definitely been my concern, I didn't see any bleaching, run into any stress or did the SCROG keep it contained enough?

Its been hard to tell how far to keep the light so far but mine are growing like crazy. Impressed with LEDs immediately.

4x4 is a nice space! I wish I could run 2 tents, assuming you are? Sticking with LEDs?

Check out my last two pages my tops of the colas got supper bleached, I didn't SCROG well enough so I ditched it towards the end. I recommend just doing heavy lst'ing. Once the flower stretch is over tie the colas down and I mean tie them down good.

Great call, I'm thinking about running over to the dsp and grabbing a 6 pack of Blue Dream right now.

What you do with the trim?

Just got HSO blue dream from midweek song. Let's see how long it takes

Also the blackjack seedling is doing well.

Waiting on a 3x3 tent.


Need to work on drying and curing skills.

This harvest came out really harsh. Very light skunky smell. Buds are crispy. My pantry got up too 84* F during the dry so I missed that up. Also I handled the buds very poorly. I am realizing that buds are SO sensitive during the whole dry and cure process. I need to devotee a place and system so I don't over handle the buds.

All in all first grow was very informative. Already have run number two in the works
 
Blackjack seedling is going well , feeding at 220 ppm - 100% coco this run

With this run I am going to learn how to clone. This will be my main focus of this grow.

So anyone with tips or practices you've tried feel free to share.

So far in thinking super simple with rapid rooters PH water, no dome,
