This here is my first post so i'd like to start off by saying hello fellow growers!
Okay guys/gals i'm after my first real harvest... I budded before just to see if I could do it and I did! Unfortunately I harvested much too early and didn't use any nutrients (just rich soil from my backyard, lol) but hey, I got there... Now I'm taking things much more serious with the intent to be self sufficient so here's where I stand as of now..
Equipment
1) 4'x4'x80" Vivosun Tent
1) 1kW Hood with cool tube @ 50% dimming about 18" from top of plant
1) 2 Gal Wire mesh trash can with a 100% cotton cloth shopping bag so its basically a smart pot...
2) 8" Fans for air circulation
1) Trellis for SROG
1) GH Veg, Micro and Bloom nutrients
1) 300CFM fan cooling light and exhausting hot air from tent to outside
1) 4" duct running directly from my ac vent in my office
Organic soil consisting of worm casting and compost with amendments added per the typical "super soil" recipe (bone meal, blood meal, Epson salt, lime, perlite)
Environment
Lights off temp: 76F
Lights on temp: 78-84F
Humidity: Unknown at the moment (temp, humidity monitor will be here tomorrow)
Background
I started this plant with a root stimulator which was a 5-15-5 and I've only fed her with that twice at about 250ppm..I'm expecting my nutes to come in the mail tomorrow and shes due for a feeding as its been 2 weeks since her last one.. so tomorrow will be the first time I use the GH nutes on her..
I just topped her after her 6th node appeared so shes got two new tops coming up..
I have a few questions if you guys would be so kind as to help me out here.
Any advise would be very much appreciated, I'm all ears guys. I've done hours of research and watching videos so I think I'm doing alright here but like I said I'm not an experienced grower. Let me know what you guys think! Thank you very much for any time you take schooling this n00b.
-Peace!

I have a few questions if you guys would be so kind as to help me out here.
- I'm concerned that my 2GAL smart pot is not sufficient, what do you all think?
- Is this 1kW light at 50% adequate for veg? I intend to up it to 75%- 100% for flower assuming I can maintain the tent temp...
- Speaking of temp, I cant seem to find a straight answer.. Just how hot is too hot????
- I would like to see a yield of about a half # and grow 4 or so plants, is this unreasonable?
