What kind of light is that? I just got 10 more in from nirvana. Looking forward to next grow. Got wonder woman and lemon OG haze.

How did you get freebies from them? My 2nd order and havent got any freebies

It's a 300w equivalent jhotec led with growth and bloom switches ..i plan on getting 2 more..i also have a 45w led panel and some other "white" light so it isn't so "blurple".
I have only been using this light a few days but the plants are definitely enjoying it and have seemed to grow more rapidly than prior to using the new fixture

Good pick on the seeds, I've heard good things about wonder woman.

As far as the freebies I guess it was pure luck (depending how u look at it).. my order was placed on hold and I needed to provide proof that I wasn't using a stolen credit card. After all that was done my order was packaged and sent out and for the inconvenience of it all, they added 5 freebies to my order. So I'm sitting on 15 seeds for the next grow but I WISH I could get a 2nd tent going.. unfortunately I don't have room in the house and the basement is bound to mold my crop so maybe I'll run a pretty short veg on these 4 current plants. I also just bought an 11 pound brick coco coir , perlite, nutes, calmag, ph up and down, ph meter, temp and humidity gauges and some netting for SCROG. Hoping I get everything dialed in time and get a halfway decent yield . Not knowing the sex is big here and leaves me with wasted room. I don't like femenized seeds but I may benefit from using them in the future

I'm still really working on getting everything dialed in going on week 2 of flower. Have learned a ton from trial and error. I believe my next grows will be much better and smoother than this one has.

I have a 2nd tent going. It's kind of a pain, a 2nd environment to maintain. I took a bunch of clones so I have a lot of plants crowding it up when i want to plant the new seeds. I may get rid of a couple as I'm starting to see that more larger plants will be less work than a bunch of small ones, but to each their own.

Let's see some pics, have you topped them yet?

I'll take pics today in an hour or so, And a 2nd tent does sound like lots of maintenance..

I always topped every plant I've grown, and it slows growth tremendously. Just this once I was going to use LST and a scrog net to keep down the main cola and allow the bottom branches to catch up. Still ending with an even canopy of multiple tops. I've read threads of people doing this and they seemed to have good results and I thought I may give it a shot..
I should be getting my coco coir and perlite today and transplanting them all into 5 gallon grow bags ..

Any thoughts on NOT topping and lst-ing with scrog? I think it could work if u can keep the main cola down almost like mainlining. I think as long as I can get the lower branches even with the main cola I should yield similar to a topped plant without the recovery times from the topping.. the most cutting I will do this grow will be lollipopping

And your grow is looking great btw .. I think you're going to have decent yield if all goes well from here

Just finished the transplants.. waiting on my nutes to be delivered so I can water and feed them.. I'm very satisfied with the coco/perlite medium. I have one pot in the tent that is slightly larger than the rest ..i may top that one plant just to purposely slow growth and let the other three catch up. That won't be for a few weeks though. Here's some pics

The first feeding will be tomorrow. I will use about half of what is recommended and work my way up.. I'll use plain water every other watering .. The only thing I am waiting for is my ph up/down, then I'll give the plants their first watering. They are growing fast so I may top the one in the bigger pot as soon as I 4 internodes on it

Well the ph pen came with small packets of ph up/down so I watered and fed today since the coco I transplanted INTO has no nutritional value for the plants to feed on and grow . So HALF of the following is what I added into a gallon.

1/4 teaspoon of flora grow / flora micro / flora bloom .
1 Tea spoon of cal mag
And I added cold pressed kelp extract to provide potassium and electrolytes for an extra kick of growth (hopefully ) .. After that I ph'd to 5.5..
Everything looks good . Will take individual close up pics Saturday for the weekly update on the plants

I ordered 5 femenized Girlscouts cookie seeds from nirvana. They were on sale and I just couldn't help myself!.. looks like I'll have a good variety of quality strains next grow. :)

UPDATE : All the first sets of "true" leaves are pretty much dead so I'll say we are officially on day 1 of veg!. So about 2 or 3 days ago I fimmed the one In the larger container. I did this to allow the other three to catch up. It's bagseed and looks to be purely or pre - dominatly sativa.. the other bagseed (second set of pics) is pre dominatly Indica . And the other two with neon green in the middle of the new leaf growth are aurora indicas. In the end I may end up topping or fimming the shit outta this sativa as they are known for their height and stretch. If I magically end up with 4 females I'm going to have space issues in my 36x36x72 tent. With that being said I'm thinking of a thirty day veg. Any thoughts on veg times in this size tent are very welcomed. I fed them yesterday about the same dose as the first feeding but used 4 times as much water. With nutes I feel less is always more. I ph'd to 5.8 this time and I've been foliar feeding the leaves with a water and seaweed extract mix. The plants have responded well and have grown at what I would consider an average rate .Anyway here's todays pics (one week from last pics) .

Its jam packed in this tent though .. my dilemma here is that idk what is male or female (yet), and I won't know until I flip the switch.. so how I the world do I calculate veg time if the amount of space I'll end up with is unknown?

Looking like u r getting the hang on keeping them happy. like you said it's really hard to know how much they will stretch with you never growning them before but there r ways to keeping them short like lst r u can add a net. As far when to flip its up to u but i like to wait till they show sex with preflowers that show u they r ready.
Ps look up your neon green girl looks like you're either missing something or have too much or something in your feeding

Ill definitely be doing some LST and i also purchased a trellace net like you suggested . I guess ill just have to keep an eye on how tall they get and between lst and the netting, they should do ok if i dont over do the veg .. im thinking once i have the net just about full of branches then flip the switch and depending on stretch add a second net. And ill look into the neon green and see if i can find a solution . Thanks for the heads up!

I think it mught be a calmag issue. Ill add more to the next feeding. Nitrogen would yellow the lower leaves so im thinking its a micro deficiency or a calmag deficiency..ill have to figure out which
