Hello all, this is actually my second grow ever but my first was about a decade ago and wasn't very noteworthy. I've had to re-learn and refresh most of what I learned last time and since I feel I'm much better prepared I consider this my first real grow.
White Widow x1
Purple Kush x2
M39xGDP x2 (free seeds from seller)
-Plants are Day 23 from poking out of soil, by their growth rate and number of days I'd say they're at the end of the first week of veg.
-Currently in 3 gl fabric pots with FFOF, started in 3.5" pots w/ generic Canadian Tire soil, uppotted at 17 days old (too soon I know)
-Nutrients (barely used any) are Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur 2 part (local grow shop owner rec.)
-LED lights are 2 "1200 W" full spectrum from Amazon, actual draw is 225w each, 28" height (light meter is en route to see if light is sufficient)
-Grow tent is 5'x5'6'6"
-Temperature with lights on 24°-25°C (75°-77°F) and lights off 21°C (70°F)
-Humidity fluctuates 45-58%
-1 fan in the tent, a filtered exhaust fan which hasn't been used yet, 1 "fresh air" duct that's just open to the room the tent sits in, as it's far to cold to run outside currently (it was in the -30°s C just last week)
-Water was straight RO for first 10 days, I used 1/4 strength nutes every 6 days or so until I uppotted to the FFOF, I don't think they like the straight RO water. Since they've been in the FFOF I've used half RO and half tap water that has sat for a couple days to evaporate the chlorine. Tap water is hard, high in Cal and Mg, 215 ppm. When mixed half and half it sat at 125 ppm. Ph is high, around 7, I'm getting some ph down this week
-No pests or mold
-Plants are very short, about 5-6", I raised the lights hoping to induce some stretching
I've enjoyed growing these plants so far and hope they turn out okay, it'd be nice to get 2-3 ounces per plant. I welcome all advice and criticisms, I just want to learn more and grow healthy plants.
