I just purchased everything myself within the last month. Tent, fans, nutrients, exhaust fan (you don't want damping it's heart breakin), light I have a 24"x36"x53" tent and using a 450w vispectra light. My tent has three compartments. Seedling veg and flower or you take out the divider and have one bigger tent space just not the three sections.

The plant under the led had the hairs turning orange but the plant under the cfl is not. Should I be moving them back and forth or is it something else? I do rotate them

I just realized by looking back in my personal journal that the plant with orange hairs actually showed sex on june 24th and the other that still has only white pistols didn't show sex for another week so maybe that's it

imo first grow should be basic as hell then expand from that. you seem to be doing ok

start with 3 or 4 seeds, will cull hermies or men. use basic soil you can get a homedepot (miracle gro organic works fine), get a basic 100 dollar-150 led light, oscillating fan and a timer. if smell is a worry get a filter. use a tent if you like but why? just find a closet you wont be using. feed them tap water that has been left out for a few days to dechlorinate. then let it do its thing. add to the base or try different systems once you get the first one done

This is for sure a ‘first grow’. Just keep it alive and next time you will get double as you get more experience. You should consider fertilization. But do so lightly, since your lights are not the most powerful, the nutes you pour in won’t get used as much so it could be easyer to overfeed. What are your temperatures like in the tent?

For your 7watt lights you could move them quite close to the plant.

Next go round maybe check out and try mars hydro LED grow lights. Very cost affective! Not expensive to buy and they don’t give off extreme heat! Easily manage temps in grow tent! I myself was using 600w HPS/MH lights and my electric bill was a bit high not to meantion the heat those suckers gave out. So this time I switched over to the mars hydro LED lights and my grow is insane! I’m on week 4 of flower and I only have 2 plants in a 4x4 tent! Check these babies out and see how these lights have exploded my grow!

Hmmmm good question ..... maybe a bit of both! From what it looks like ( please correct me if I am
wrong) it looks like you are growing a sativa strain and you have your main cola which looks amazing! I am growing indica dominate strain and have topped them when they were very young creating more bud sites instead of the main cola at top. With you putting out 2000 watts of lights definitely seems to be beneficial for your grow. How many plants under the 2000 watt?

Very nice grow you have going! I only have 2 plants in my 4x4 tent and I have no room for anymore at this time. I bushed these babies out! A little stress training and topping is probably the difference in our plants. But I can say that every plant grows differently. Even if they are same seeds from same plant. One plant can have bigger buds than the other even if they are exactly the same. You can plant 100 seeds of same batch and see the difference between them all. ........ your grow is excellent. Keep up the great work and I hope to see harvest when it happens!
