This strain is Gorilla Candy (Gorilla Glue#4xPapa’s Candy) 75% Indica.

She was in veg for 73 days(once the seed poked through the soil)
Today is day 16 of flower

She is in a 2.5x2.5x6 tent inside of a closet

Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil
Started in a solo cup > 3 gallon >7 gallon fabric pot with 70% soil and 30% perlite.
I’ve used Mykos on the root ball every transplant.

Using a Viparspectra 1000w LED light
Lights on temp range from 80-86F
Lights off temp is 70F
RH is 50%
Ph is always between 6.4-6.8
Watering every 2-3 days

Fox Farm trio is on hand but have only started using Big bloom and Tiger bloom at day 14 of flower at 1/3 strength and will gradually up that.

I have a 4 inch exhaust fan and carbon filter hooked up to a humidity controller that works amazing for pulling humidity out but not so much the heat. I have no way of getting cooler air into the tent and a ac unit is out of the question, so I’m just going to have to deal with temps reaching the mid 80’s. I tried using a small dehumidifier but it exhausted really warm air.

Up until two days ago I’ve been watering with Reverse Osmosis water, URB, liquid seaweed, Cal/Mag+ and molasses. I just realized Tiger bloom isn't organic and the use of URB was probably pointless.

The main stem was topped, leaving only the 4th,5th and 6th main branches then topped the 5th and 6th branches.

These pics were from veg

I knew I wanted to do the SCROG training so I got these cupboard storage shelves and cut them down so I could slide the drip pan in and out. It works like a charm!

Well, here’s where she’s at day 16 of flower!

I’m using a pair of Vivosun LED grow room sunglasses to take pictures with so there’s a weird green hue.

Any input or advice for what I should look out for or what to expect in the coming weeks is greatly appreciated!

LETS GO PENS!!!

You've got a good thing going there my friend, only problem is that you're a Pens fan (I'm from DC) but I'll ignore that for now.;)
I also grow in a small tent that happens to be the exact same size. Tell me about your light and I'll give you some suggestions on what has worked for me. Heat control will always be a headache in a small tent unfortunately but running LED instead of HID helps tremendously. By all appearances your plant is super healthy, great color from what I can see and she's filling the ScrOG nicely. Your ventilation is adequate (without knowing the details about your light) and while the numbers on the thermometer may be less than optimal, your grow looks healthy. At the end of the day that's all that matters!

Thank you for having a look! I think I’m the only pens fan that loves the Great 8!
This is the light 7E9672EC-B0FE-4950-B344-A82E9CA5DAAB.png

I do leave the closet door open when the light is on, It would definitely be in the 90’s if I left it closed. The light is about 16 inches from the canopy running full blast. There’s no signs of heat or light burn so I’m not too worried at the moment. I’m going to aim a fan into the closet and see if that’ll help get her down a couple degrees. What temp range would you say is optimal? Thanks for your time!
