Hello Everyone 
I've been a long time lurker, but finally decided to take the plunge and start my first grow journal. This may be my first time growing but I'm definitely taking all the steps to make sure it goes well. That's where you come in! I am at a stage where I need some guidance from some experienced growers. Currently my plants are three weeks old and looking good (I think) so I'm hoping I can get some tips on what to do next to maximize the yield.
Here's some info about my setup (gathered from here as being pretty typical):
Tent: 36x20x62" Apollo
Light: 1000w (10w x 100) LED (don't hate!)
Medium: FFOF in 3 gal pots with 20% perlite
Air Circulation: 4in exhaust w/ carbon filter and small PC intake fan (for now)
Nutes: FF Trio, Maxicrop Liquid Seaweed
Other equipment: PPM Meter, PH Meter, Temp/Humidity meter
Strains: Purple Haze, Cookies Kush, Lemon Skunk (decided to go with freebies for the first grow)
My current regimen is a 18/6 light cycle and watering about every three days switching between a light dose of liquid seaweed and regular ph'd water. Haven't started any other nutes yet since I don't think they need them and I don't have my PPM meter yet to check the run off.
Yes I am using a cheap chinese led, but it seems to be working well.... Aside from the heat, my temps are high in the low 80's with the lights on at night. I think it's due to the hot closet environment which I vent directly out of. Overall it doesn't seem to be hurting the plants since I keep fresh air constantly circulating, but if it becomes an issue I'll move the tent.
Not sure if its the light intensity (no tacoing) or the strains, but my plants have very short node spacing, very bushy. About four days ago I fimmed the Purple Haze and Cookies to encourage more tops. And I've been gently bending the plants to stay low and grow into their own corner of the tent, but I honestly don't know if I'm doing this right or if this is the right way to go. Lemon skunk will get fimmed next.
Enough blabbering, on with the photos!
