This is my first grow. My only reason for sharing isn't to really show my grow off, but I want to share my grow to get positive/negative feedback. Please feel free to let me know if there's anything I could do better, or call me out if I'm doing something wrong please! I did my reading and feel like I know a lot, but i still got my nervous first time grow feel going and I'm always wondering how my progress is going. Like if my plants are behind and smaller than normal, or if they look healthy and vigorous and are big for their age etc. thanks
My specs:
I plan on growing 6 critical kush scrog and filling a room, and with the dream queens i plan on just veggin for a weekish and basically SOGing 6 just for a little extra yield because im stopping growing after these for a couple months due to extreme cold conditions where I live and my grow rooms are in their own little building non insulated(yet).
Instead of a single cola SOG plant, im going to try an experiment i guess lol, I'm going to top each dream queen right before flower removing the 3rd set of leaves. leaving me with only 4 branch locations and a 4 way top. so each plant would have 4 main colas and I still wouldn't have to do any LST or other training.
24 bud colas instead of 6 just sounds better even though i know the 6 single buds/cola would be bigger, but i feel like 24 would outweigh 6.
I have two 3.5 ft x 4 ft rooms.
6 dream queen bagseed from hermie females in one room (from what i understand hermies make female only seeds right? hopefully lmao)
6 feminized barneys farm critical kush 100% indica in the other room.
my reflectors are big and fill each room horizontally.
400 watt cheap cool white metal halides
400 watt hps digilux hps bulbs (25% more blue spectrum than typical hps)
lighting is 24 hours on 0 off during veg.
using reverse osmosis water supplemented with epsom salt, and molasses
using just fox farm grow big and fox farm tiger bloom for liquid fertilizers.
my soil is half happy frog and half fox farm ocean forest. In the mix i added 15 lbs worm castings (1-0-0), blood meal (12-0-0), bone meal (4-12-0 Ca), epsom salt(MgS), and dolomite lime(MgCa)
white panda film for reflective material.
bent the plants early and topped 5 of 6 critical kush early to promote branching early. my critical kush is currently 25 days old with about 8-12 nice tops starting on each plant. I "think" i am done topping and done bending the whole plant with typical LST. I will though however plant on just bending down/tieing down the tallest branches lower than the others to keep and even canopy.
My dream queens are 4 days old. I plan to top them in a couple days then a couple days after start their 2 month flowering somewhat SOG style.
With my Critical Kush I plan to start flowering the day I feel like my 6 plants are big enough to fill my 3.5 x 4 ft room.
i just switched my 6 critical kush from my MH to HPS but still 24 hours on and vegging. I just want to see if the red light spectrum alone with give me some vertical growth now, which I want, because my internodal spacing is super tight im guessing due to 3 factors. They are kush... They are 100% indica and the MH color spectrum it had.
I will update this thread with new pics of both rooms/strains.

there looking very healthy at minute but ya seem to be doing everything to early? Or is that just me?I veg between 5-8 weeks,I would never just veg a week:/ unless it was Northern lights#5xhaze,n ya don't really have to veg at all with this strain..anyway all looks good although the pots look awfully dry:/ BF
