    Alright y'all I'm brand new to growing but I have been doing tons of reading and preparing but of course I'm still a beginner so criticize away, I need to learn and I learn better when people are blunt with me. Anyway on to my set up. I have a 4x4x6.5 tent with 300w led full spectrum lights and a 400w hps light. My plants are in an organic soil medium. The pH is 6.5 currently and average high low temps have been 82/66 the temperature is usually 78 though. Relative humidity stays around 55% I'm growing 4 plants if all goes as planned. I sprouted 2 plants about 3 weeks ago and one got heat stress while young but had since began recovering. The other has been thriving with vigor. The larger of the two has been topped and fim'd and I think all 8 tops are forming but for now I'll have to wait a few days. She was also lst'd over to keep her a little shorter while my stressed baby catches up. I also have 2 germinated seeds that are in their medium. Those were placed yesterday and I know they will be much smaller but I just wanted to taste my other strains as well. Currently I'm running 19-5 on my lights. Any thoughts or suggestions?

  2. Im no pro myself, but she looks good as hell. I wish i started LST with mine when they were that small!
    All in all looks off to a good start.
     
  3. Alright so I had to move my plants due to security needs and until I can complete modifications on the new location I am only running my hydro galaxy 300w. I will install the 400w HPS before I begin flowering though. I have done some major lst to my biggest girl to keep her shorter until I am ready with my two tiny plants. The seedling just sprouted yesterday and Im hoping it does well. keeping my fingers crossed I can get these plants to have an even canopy but I plan on doing SCrog as well. Right now I plan on vegging for about 3 more weeks before flowering but this may get pushed back due to the tiny tots. Also anyone have any information on how to use colloidal silver to make feminized seeds? May do it on one of these plants so I dont have to buy seeds. Anyway here are some pictures

  4. Alright just a brief update. finally got my HPS back in the room with my LEDs. I've begun to regret placing my sativa's with my indica dominate hybrid but I plan on leaving the led low for the Indica but placing a divider between the two plants and raising my hps lights for the sativas as they need. This is because at 8 inches tall it is about even with my indica canopy but it has started to stretch going from 5 inches to 8 in 2 days. I topped it when it was at 5 inches too. no new growth yet though. But I figure it will very soon. I plan on switching to flowering in 2-3 weeks but we'll see... maybe less... maybe a bit more but not as likely. Any questions or comments go for it im easy.

  5. Update: I switched the lights to a 12 hour schedule last Friday and boy did they love it. As of the past couple days, thanks to the weather, it has gotten a little hot in my closet with temps reaching 89 and stressing my Sativa but I'm not to concerned since I have a lot of grow left yet and only a couple more days until the temps really start dropping. I have both plants undergoing some lst and I have got good growth off the freshly topped sativa. Nothing much more to add heres some pictures
