First Hempy, First Grow Tent Grow!

[Jlac]

Hey guys! Month into my first tent grow which I decided to go with hempy as it seems slightly more noob friendly.

Strain: Bruce Banner fast fem

Grow medium: 100% perlite

Nutes: three part ph perfect system

Container: square ? 1.5 gallon tote i stole from my daughter with 1.25 ltr res (when you start to get run off)

Light: 1200w duel switch LED

Grow space: 4x4x7 tent with 6inch exhaust fan / carbon filter combo passive intake with humidifier

Started off feeding everyday 1/4 nutes first week then cut back to every couple days at half strength and now up to every 4th day ish just because I'm scared of it running dry.
Just topped and pruned a bit ( getting ready to SCROG )

Love the progression, looks great.

Well here is one more and ill let it grow out a bit before I set up the screen! All tied down and about to be watered.

Thanks for popping in Bill

I'm not going to lie... I expected slightly faster growth then I'm seeing but its my first time so ??

I am having trouble with humidity though. I live in a very dry wood heated home so with the dehumidifier at max it stays at 40 % and 23°c

What do you have your light set at.
If I want faster growth in veg I move the lights closer. Just a thought.

 

[Jlac]

Its currently at 38cm only because it wasn't stretching at all. Think they could stand to go closer now?

Thats about 18" I think that is generally a decent distance depending on light strength. Is it turned up full?, do you have red spectrum on (should)
What about a meter to check light at plant level.

 

[Jlac]

I do not have the red spectrum on! I assumed thats why they were duel switch but they benefit from both veg and bloom on at all times? And no, no tool to read the lumins at plant level but this is what the company claims.

I'd be skeptical of those numbers wit out a meter. I'd drop it a couple inches see if it helps. That light only has a 240w draw are you planning on using it to flower aswell.

 

[Jlac]

Yes I did. I havnt used it myself yet but a friend borrowed it for a grow and had nice results from it! I will supplement if this grow seems to want a lot more. But I will take it down a few inches and see if it makes a change

So to update. Nutrient wise I felt it looked healthy but still slow growth. I brought my light down a bit where it responded well but then the edges started turning up and the leaves made tacos. My light being lowered put it from approx 24 to 28ish. So brought the light up an inch alright before typing this. Also lowered ambient room temp a few degrees. Still struggling with the humidity as well. Can get 40% at best now and usually hight 20s low 30s.

Any input is always welcome

How is your temp with lights on?

 

[Jlac]

24 - 28 from ambient temps changing i guess

Today set everything up for SCROG. I just whipped up a net myself so I didnt have to leave the house haha! Raised everything to make access easier and I've seen people on here say to get it up off the floor.

Only thing I'm unsure of is that - is the net too close to the medium? There is maybe 4 inches between the 2.

I've never ran a scrog but from what I've read i think you are low. But let an expert help.

 

[Jlac]

Any idea what could cause this weird growth and yellowing on net leaves growing in. Also the taco fan leaves with a little clawing on the tips. Im only guessing a little too heavy on the nutrients? Temp is 25 and humidity is pretty consistant at 45% but will dip down to 25% when my humidifier runs dry while I'm at work for a couple hours. Was feeding full strength nutes for a few feeding no problem. Only change I can think of if I topped it and removed unwanted lower new branching

 

[Jlac]

Dropped the nutrients to half strength for the time being until it looks better or I get some better information
