New but old

Its been almost 20 years since my last grow. I regret taking so long to get back into it but it what it is. I'm loving all the new tech out there and the support for our hobby

Welcome to RIU.
Nice looking plants.
Can you tell us a little about your grow?

Thanks! So its a 2x3 tent with a 150 watt led light I have a 2x2 and 1x2 planters shoved into the tent. I wanted to run Coco because back in the day before I stop growing it was the up and coming thing but you couldn't find the supplies but now its everywhere. So I went with a coco blend with organic matter. Ewc compost perlite and clay peoples well they did good for about 2 weeks until then nuts started running low lol. And I had to start heavy feeding and that was a pain. So I remix my medium added half soil went with happy frog because its real thick and heavy. Added some Olla to the soil bed that is basically a drip system. I add a quarter nuts in the reserve of the ollas and everything has been smotth sailing . Lol

Coco works best as a drain to waste hydroponic medium........no organics and no soil additives.
Feed daily to substantial run off.
Do not let coco dry out, and never give plain water.

Lol yeah I learned. So far this half coco with soil is working great. I might be crazy but it seems like these little girls are feeding through the soil and the coco Im getting about an inch of growth every day

Its an Ac tent. It has a divider to make two grow area which is how I was going to use it but I came across two local clones that I had to grow lol so the divider came out and a 1x2 planter went in with two clones. By the way I love the clones omg from a local that just loves the environment.

If you do use the divider, make sure you check it thoroughly for light leaks. Light leaks through the velcro. I had to make some adjustments so that the divider was completely light proof.
