Hey yall!
First time grower here, discovered this thread after looking online for some answers about it all. I'm lucky enough to have my friend mentoring me along the way, he is a master grower for some very large cultivations in Las Vegas. Even still I wanted to make a post about my setup.
My tent size is 4x4x6.5
Currently growing 5 Girl Scout Cookies (Figured it'd be best to use all the same strain for my 1st attempt)
Light: 800 watt LED
Temps: 77-82F (day) 73-77 (Night)
Humidity: 50-60%
I picked up some clones from a dispensary nearby. They are about 2 weeks into veg.
These first pics are of my setup..
I have my ladies propped up on some boxes because i zip tied my light to the top of the tent, I realize I'm going to have to attach the Ratchet Ropes so i can lower it eventually. It may look like the plants are really far from the light but they are only about 36" (3 feet) from light. Is that too far away?? To help raise humidity in the tent i drape a damp cloth over the white fan in the background and will raise my humidity as much as 25%.
In these next photos you'll see some of the leaves are curling up and dying and quite of few of the plants are experiencing some discoloring on the tips. I think the reason for this is because at first i was having issues controlling temp (got as high as 86F) and humidity was low (around 43%). Plus I had a huge fan blowing directly onto the clones which coupled with high temp/low humidity was drying my poor ladies out. Additionally the first time I watered them i used half dose of CloneX but didn't have the pH @ 5.8 it was closer to 5.0 so that probably shocked their systems too. I've since watered them twice with strictly 5.8pH water only, no nutes. Would appreciate some feedback!!
