So now that I'm all legal I decided to setup a tent and get some gals of my own growing. I've had limited exposure to any growers besides other family that have grown medically in the past, so I have few resources IRL and basically nobody that can come by the house and actually put eyes on stuff. So far no major problems have popped up and I have been able to find most answers I need on lovely forums and grow communities such as this one.
I set this tent up around labor day and was waiting for seeds to come in for a couple of weeks after that. I was a little impatient waiting for them to arrive and started practicing on some bag seed a week before hand, so there are a couple of different strains and ages in this tent currently, which is obvious from the pictures. If nothing else I figured those would give me some extra practice germinating, transplanting, and sexing so we'll see how it goes with them- they may be getting the chop.
Here's the stats:
Grow space: 4x4x6.5' grow tent
Pots: Solo cups then transplanted to 5gal smart pots
Lights: 1 600w reflector LED by Bestva, 1 1500w full spectrum LED by Bestva
Medium: Coco Loco by Fox Farms
Nutrients: Fox Farm trio, CalMag, RO water PH'd to around 6.3, Mykos on transplants
Feeding schedule: feed/water/feed every 2-3 days as pots start to dry out
Genetics: 2 Northern Lights fems from Canuk Seeds, 1 White Widow fem from Canuk, 3 bag seed randoms (2 5gallon, 1 solo cup)- The seeds from Canuk are photos and so far the bag seed seems to be as well
Like I said, I'm about a month in, almost all the way through veg. I'm just waiting on the 3 named seeds to get a little bit bigger, they are still a little squat. They seem to be showing off some of their indica height and broad leaf genetics, especially compared to the random bag seed next to them.
I wasn't going to do a journal on this first grow just in case it ends tragically, but I was practically writing a journal to myself and I really like this community so I figured I might as well put it out here and maybe get some help as needed, if needed. I'll post a few photos of the progress so far to get caught up.
Here are the bag seedlings while I was waiting on the others to arrive

I am a firm believer in LST as well and looks like you got it working well. I also have a journal going so feel free to check it out. Lots of supercropping and LST going on there.
