Just like to share some pics of my first grow, currently on day 37 of flower. Cindy 99 from blimburn. Can’t wait for the final results. Any tips for the future? Wish me luck!

That ph meter is junk. But overall it looks like you did a really fucking good job.

Thank you! Mainly used the meter for quick glance at moisture levels (which is now failing, Junk indeed.)

Thanks, I think I could’ve vegged her out a little bit more but I was a bit impatient. I wanted to fill my whole 2x4 tent. Just couldn’t wait any longer.

Looks great for first grow. Leached out probably a tad too soon, but i think you will still have a nice harvest. Cindy is pretty fast finisher too, so that helps.
The only concern id have is the fact i can only see 1 little fan for circulation.

Appreciate the feedback. (Grow is 2x4 tent, electric sky 300, 10 gallon fabric grow bag with fox farm ocean forest soil amended with compost,EWC, flower girl, and perlite. Water with kelp extract, molasses, and URB natural. And a weekly compost tea. Added in a product called “flower power” at the start of flower.) honestly I think I was lacking on some nitrogen before I made the flip. I probably should have corrected that before flipping, oh well lesson learned. I have 2 clip on fans on my light and 2 clip on fans blowing over the canopy. And a 12” fan on the outside of the tent.

I agree with the low nitrogen but overall great grow for first time

Looks great! Great job not messing around with the light selected. Why did you choose it?

Filling out the whole tent and using that light, it might not have turned out so good. But he pretty much nailed it as far as im concerned.

Lower power consumption, low heat, full spectrum, deep canopy penetration, and the footprint fits my space perfectly. All reasons I chose es300. I was pretty impressed that I actually purchased the es180 also. These lights are champs for sure.

I wanted to fill it more laterally, there’s still about 1/3 of the tent free.

Laterally or horizontally? I would want closer to 400w to fill out a 2x4 completely.
