Hi everyone,
Welcome to my first grow!

So i decided to start a grow journal to get some feedback from more experienced growers and of course for anyone who might be interested in following my journal!

Specs:

3x3 tent
2x 260w HLG R Spec
5 Autoflowers in 5 gal pots
BioBizz Light Mix/All Mix 50-50
BioCanna nutrients

Strains:

I'll be growing 5 plants 5 different strains. All from mephisto!

Samsquanch OG

Grape Walker Kush

S.O.D.K

Fantasmo Express

White Chem

So the girls sprouted with few days difference, some more some less..

Today is day 20 from sprout of the first girl!

S.O.D.K and Smasquanch OG started showing pistils around day 18, and i'm waiting for Grape Walker Kush although it looks like it will take a while longer.
White Chem sprouted 5 days ago and i'm waiting for Fantasmo Express to sprout!

The lights are dimmed to about 60% each, about 30 inches from canopy. It might be too intense?

So thats day one of my journal! Will try to update as often as needed!

Any feedback/advice will be greatly appreciated!

I understand that concern. You might want to raise your lights up and elevate the more mature plants so they are the right distance to the light and the seedlings would be much lower on the ground. Like flip 3 five gallon buckets upside down and set them on those.

you could keep it more modest at like 75-80% and see how everything responds. The thing about LED is what exactly does 50% mean... yeah thats what the switch says but is the light truly putting out 50%? You need to plug your light into a watt meter when you dim so that you know, say your 100w light is actually putting out 50w at 50%

True! These lights are dimmable from 135w to 280w and i run the dimmer around 60 % which means around 200w (?) each light!
Total around 400w for the moment!

Hi everyone!

updating after a while..

So it's day 45 for the oldest and day 20 for the youngest girl
I think the youngest one is a bit light stressed though and doesn't seem to be growing fast.
Also i added a 315w CMH between the 2 led panels.
I'm using the full BioCanna line plus prevention CalMag dose from BioBizz and today i fed them brewed PK Booster Tee from BioTabs
Temps have been stable at around 80F and humidity at 45-50%

Some pictures i took today!

Any thought or advice is welcome!

Edit:
Forgot to mention that i am planning on vegging 5 photoperiods in there soon until i harvest the autos and then switch to 12/12 .. What do you guys think? Also any breeder/strain recommendations??

Thanks!
