Hi all and I appreciate you checking out my little grow. I've been researching for a long while and have put together the best advice and now running with it. This is my 2nd run at it, with the 1st grow the quality was GREAT but the quantity was not. Let me give you my setup: It took me just over a year to put everything all together as it was pretty costly and I have a very limited area to do this in. I appreciate any feedback you can give that might help, otherwise, thanks for stopping by and saying hey!

3x3 Gorilla Grow tent, my lights are the Mars II LED's, using 3 gal. Airpots, Oceanfarm soil, distilled water, and I use the General Hydroponics line of Flora Nova, a small fan inside for movement and using a 4" inline Hurricane fan, even though heat isn't a big issue at all with using the LED's. This is my 1st try with Airpots so we'll see how that works out.

I germinated fem seeds, 2 Northern Lights and 1 SuperSkunk, right in small 3" pots, covered them loosely with saranwrap and put them on top of my warm and dark freezer. The 2 N. Lights popped in 2 days and the SuperSkunk took an extra day. Put them right under the little lights (c pic) for about 2 weeks and them transplanted to the Airpots and put in the tent under LED's. The 2 NL's are doing really good but the little SS is a struggling BUT I'm not ready to give up her yet!

Not nutes for at least another week and I'm still watering them via the spray bottle but that will change in the next week to ensure getting plenty water. I'm going to supplement my LED's this grow with a 5000k light for veg and 2700k when they go to flower. I wanna encourage more growth on the lower plant.

Okay, so that's what I'm attempting! IMG_2402_edited-1.jpgIMG_2404_edited-1.jpgIMG_2406_edited-1.jpgIMG_2405_edited-1.jpgIMG_2408_edited-1.jpgIMG_2403_edited-1.jpg

Looks good. I have a similar small grow. I use ocean forest, organic nutrients, and 200 watts LED. How many watts is your panel? Are you using a carbon filter? It is a good idea to add CFL side light in a mixed spectrum. I use 3-4 105 actual watt CFL's (mostly 2700k) in combination with my LED's.

The wattage is right around 400 and I am gonna do some supplement lighting this time, especially around the lower limbs and see if I can encourage more growth since I only do a few at a time. No problem with odor yet. With the 1st grow, I would spray a dryer sheet with a bit of Ona and batta-boom, the odor was taken care of. If it gets bad, I'll add the filter. Thanks for your kind words!

The extra side lighting should help develop some of that smaller popcorn bud. I like to chop the main colas, and ten let the popcorn develop for a week of two more with good side light. I asked about the filter because the skunk strains are high odor. The 2Northern lights will be low smell though.

My Superskunk didn't make it... I'm gonna germinate the other Skunk seeds and send them to a friends in the foothills to grow outside. That will take care of the odor issue!
