Con's First Indoor Soil Grow

[con]

That probably doesn't mean much now- chances are, they'll even out as they grow.
3 plants is a lot for a 100watt light, but right now, I don't think the light is causing any problems- as they get bigger, you may have to rotate them a few times a day, to make sure they all get some time in the "good light" every day. (the outer edges of the light output isn't as powerful as the light in the center)

yeah should of went with one size up but reviews said good for 3 plants in a 2x2 tent but obviously over inflated will get another light soon hopefully before flower, was thinking LST would help when they get a bit taller

Another light like the one you have would do the trick- and the one you have will be ok for veg, but, here's the deal-
100 watts will grow a plant just fine, but the buds may end up light and airy...but - 200 watts will grow a plant even better, and the buds will be solid and dense.
I've grown under both- and that second 100 watts is definitely a game-changer.

And yeah, a lot of the manufacturers will give overly optimistic specs on their lights- like we're not going to find out that they're lying to us...?

Your journal is fine and that's all I know about indoor growing. I just finished my first time ever grow and this is the right place to be there's lots of good friendly advice.

your outdoor grow looks like it turned out good, nice job

Thanks to the folks here. I had no idea what I was doing, and it doesn't end after the harvest.

Training of some sort like LST will help you maximize your harvest for the available space. By flattening out the canopy you not only spread the hormones around better, you get better light to what would have been spindly growth growing in the shade of higher up limbs.

So, yes, I would train them. LST is good for autos so you don't stress them as much and risk stunting them.

would you start LST now or should i wait a week or 2 ?

Personally I'd start now. Here's the thread @InTheShed started to show how he does it if you're looking for ideas.

well did my best at some LST and lower leaf's seem to be responding well, a little scary but none broke i did flex them for a bit hopefully the tops are low enough also installed my carbon filter the heat from running 2 lights brought the temp close to 28c but now need a humidifier RH is 43 hope that won't harm the plants for a week or 2 i put the exhaust fan on a timer 15 min on & 15 min off through out the day & off for 4 hours when the lights are off

so coming to the end of week 4 the 2 meat breath plants look healthy & did some LST but about 5'' tall my angel og also looks healthy and bushy and did LST but only just over 6'' they should be taller by now i'm assuming , did some research on PAR/ppd/mol and downloaded photone par meter on my phone and found the light intensity was way over what is recommended for ppfd & mol even though light's are 18'' above the plant i had them set to max so i adjusted the mol to 39-40 & ppfd to around 617 for the rest of the veg stage as evenly as i could for all 3 plants, i'm sure i have the watering & nutes figured out thanks to a few members here so lets see if they get taller with the new light adjustment also bought a inkbird temp controler and have the heater & exhaust fan hooked up and figured out to help with temp, Question to the members is what i read here too intense of led light can harm & stunt growth ? or did i just bugger things up by turning down the lights ? they are auto's

 

[InTheShed]

Harm to a plant from too much light almost always is diagnosed by looking at the leaves: bleaching, leaf points turning up, leaves tacoing, top leaves curling away from the light, etc.

I'm not seeing those kind of symptoms on in your pics though.

Did you calibrate the Photone app first?
