Amygdala's LED Grow

[Amygdala]

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening fellow 420'ers,
I come here seeking knowledge and advice for my first ever medicinal cannabis grow. Growing my own medicine has been a life long dream of mine and through alot of hard work I have finally been able to start my journey.
I have started from clones which all came in 1/2 gal pots.
Here is a rundown of my setup again this is a first grow so any advice or knowledge always appreciated

Grow Area: 4x4 Tent
Lighting: 1 Mars Hydro 900w LED
Soil: 1 10 Gal smart pot Happy Frog, 3 10 Gal smart pots Happy Frog/Ocean Forest mix
Nutrients: Vermi-eXtract (highly concentrated 1tsp per gal), Great White Mycorr (once), Azomite (yet to be added) Big Thanks to the 420Mag member who helped with the great white and amozite.
Venting: One small circlular 6" fan WORKING ON IT

Strains: Critical Truth, 707 Truthband, Iced Grapefruit

So where Im at now the girls came home and went directly into the tent and LED was raised to let the plants adjust to their new climate. After a few days they were transplanted from 1/2 gal buckets to 10 gal smart pots.
To big of a jump for the girls? Maybe. Learning. I was gifted the great white after i transplanted so i decided to mix it into my first drench/feeding along with 3 caps of vermi-extract into a ph tested 6.5 2 gallons well water per smart pot.
Each 10 Gal was drenched. I left one 10 Gal that has the Happy frog only mix to just water only as a test im doing a side by side myself to see how the ocean forest mix works and also to see how the Mycorr and Amozite help. I will be updating picture shortly; Thanks to Everyone for helping me through my grow journey took me a long time to get here and Im enjoying it!

No I am not sorry, But thanks for the help Did some supercropping today trying to dial in my temps in my tent;

 

[Amygdala]

Super Cropping!

Get on those mites, they can devastate at this stage. Mites like high temps and humidity so if you can keep humidity down that will help. Since they are so young it is the best time to get things done. It is pretty easy to use a foliar right now. I have not had mites in many years (knocks on wood)

Sweet thanks man! I just got some stuff from my local store (SHOUT OUT TO LOCAL STORES!)
Mighty Bomb? I have heard really good stuff about it and I like to suport the locals
I took a few smaller leaves off this AM and looked - No mites. I did absolutely find two or three the other day tho I will be misting the area with the mighty for precautions and counter measures

 

[ShiggityFlip]

Make sure to hit it in a 3 day cycle to kill the eggs that don't get killed the first time!

Ok So I Love how quickly the plant responds I literally pinched her 10 hours ago and look at her now !
This Critical Kush I am experimenting with LST and cropping/topping her sister is next to her and will be given water only with no training and a straight Happy Frog soil with no Ocean Forest mixed in for a side by side comparison.

 

[ShiggityFlip]

Nice to run a comparison. It will teach you more and show others at the same time. I'm front and center with you and looking forward to it! Sounds like you have some experience so that should help a bunch!!

 

[Amygdala]

Ahh Yes This 707 Truthband is really coming along , I have high Hopes for her well... We gonna see!
Should I be fimming this plant, Lollipopping the undergrowth? I feel bad cutting off her leaves I feel like they are needed for growth, Advice?

FIM is good, it will encourage lateral growth. I wouldn't do any other defoliation right now as they are young and need the leaves but a FIM is a good idea to keep a low wide plant. You can however bend the upper fans out of the way of the lower shoots. This will keep leaf mass and still encourage side growth.

 

[Amygdala]

First Grow, Thanks tho Shiggityflip I been absorbing Information on growing for a long time now, Finally tiem to put it into action

 

[ShiggityFlip]

If you look at the hunger games grow in my sit I have a lot of training in the beginning for the seedlings.

 

[Amygdala]

Will Do! Has anyone any advice on how far to keep this 900w Mars2 LED from the top of the plant? Im having trouble finding the right spot.
