First grow

Hey y’all,
So this is my first grow. Have learned a ton and taken notes so my next grow I will know exactly what gear I want before I start. But just wanted to share some pics. I accidently brushed against some hairs with my elbows while Q-tipping every damn spider mite I found on my leaves. But other than that… let me know what y’all think? (Constructive criticism is welcome)
- Strain Gold Leaf Indica dominant
-Location: Indoors (small closet with blackout curtains thumbtacked around the outside doors.
-Medium: FFOF with mites
- Light: Kingplus LED “1000”… I mean 185w
- Pot: 3 gallon ceramic pot I had in my garage
-age: 4 weeks since flip

"accidentally brushed up". Lol you guys act like the plant will just self destruct if touched lol. This shit cracks me up.

Looking good otherwise for a first go. Going all out. Scrog first go aye.

Are you suggesting the mites came directly from the FFOF? If so, how long after putting seed in soil did you first notice mites. Thanks

I assumed it was. Not sure how else they’d get there but I noticed them a week after flip. So pruned her and laid on my back with glasses Q-tipping soapy water under the leaves where the buggers seemed to be hanging out at.

How long from planting seed to flip? Just trying to figure out the time period since I use the same soil.

Dang that looks awesome! Ya it’s a photoType. I didn’t top it. Only did LST, but next time I will definitely top it. I really am looking forward to LST next round since I’ll know what to expect. Definitely getting new pots as well lol. Fabric or smart pot for soil? Do you prefer one over the other? Or are they the same thing? Lol

Also….This may be ridiculously dumb to ask but…. A larger pot means more room for roots to grow and will result in a larger plant? Is that correct?

Smart pots and fabric pots are the same thing i use to use 5 gallon plastic buckets i switched to fabric and seen the difference almost instantly they grow much faster need to water more often but thats a good thing that means i can feed more. And yes bigger pot means more pot. No such thing as a stupid question just stupid answers.
Happy growing
