Hello everyone. I am currently buying a 2ft8in x 2ft8in x 5ft grow tent. I am equipping it with 2 mars 300 watt LED grow lights. I will also be placing a couple of CFLs (6500k veg) (2700k flow) around the corners of the tent. I will have a humidity/temp monitor as well as a 6in oscillating fan on the top corner. I plan to grow 3 northern light seeds in 3gallon fabric pots. I will be using cal mag as well as fox farms trio. I am contemplating growing it in fox farm ocean forest soil but am unsure. Based on this information what do you think. Am I good to go?
I wouldnt have more than 2 plants in that small area, you can easily cover the entire surface area with 1 plant and a decent Scrog technique. If you do one plant I'd suggest a 5 gallon pot also
I'll prob start off with 2 plants with a 5 week veg 20/4 for 2 weeks and then 18/6 for 3 weeks. Then start the harvest for like 3-6 weeks. I'll be using the LST method of training.
i have the same size tent, it's 4x2 but that's the same amount of area and I yielded 15oz from my last auto grow. Scrog and top that's the recipe for high yields in limited space
Scrog is just easier to tie down when you got a lot of branches growing. Either way works. What strain you looking to grow?
mmm the classic indica, good choice. Oh, and regarding the soil, Fox Farm Ocean Forest is a great soil if you mix it with 20-30% perlite. I wouldn't put the seeds directly into it though, I would start them out for about a week in a rooting cube and then transfer since the soil has a lot of nutrients in it and you risk burning the seedling. But once the transfer is complete, you don't need to feed it for a good 4 weeks.
Great. Thanks man you've been a big help. I was wondering when I should start feeding it. Once I get everything settled up I'm going to start a journal.
Message me when you get that journal going, I would love to follow along. Yeah you don't need to feed much with FFOF, I got an outdoor grow going right now, they are about 5 weeks into veg already showing signs of preflowering and still arent showing any signs of needing to be fed. I only really need to start feeding regularly when the plant begins to flower. Your plant will tell you when it's hungry. A good soil composition will feed your plants for you.
