Hey everyone, this is my first journal ever, please bear with me. I'm Synaster, I'm a 41-year-old Mom of five, raised four amazing sons and have a nearly one and a half year old daughter. Haven't grown in at least 5 years, but in the past, had many successful indoor and outdoor gardens. This years indoor is a medical for my 25-year-old son who has stage 4 colon cancer, diagnosed in September of this year. This will be an indica dominant garden as they will best suit my son's needs.
It's taken me about two and a half months to get everything ready and to catch up on current growing techniques and research. This will be my first LED grow and exclusively Canuck bean strains.
I'm using organic mechanics seedling soil to start, and when they get a little bigger roots brand terp tea. When it's time for transplant I will either be using organic mechanics or FFOF. Most likely though it will be organic mechanics. leaning strongly towards using organic top dressings for nutrients when the time comes and teas to feed the girls. All the plants are feminized photo period, personally don't feel the need or desire to grow an auto.
Starting in double solo cups for easy transplanting.LST, around the time the plants have at least their fifth true leaves. Starting out in an 8x4 tent with 8 inch ac affinity T8 cloud line for exhaust, filtered my side vents for the tent so I can bring in fresh air as well. Also running a charcoal filter for what's exhausted out of the window.
The tent will be directly vented out of a window. Humidity in the room is currently sitting at 60 without any lights fans or otherwise, If I need to bring it up I do have a cool mist humidifier and a heater if need be.
Lights for the 8x4 tent are HLG 600R spec V2 x 2 also grabbed the UVA bars for flower. I do have a brand new spider farmer SF 4000, but that will not be used for this grow. Oh and seedlings will be started I'm using a 4-ft T5 fixture rather than the LEDs, I would like to work them into the brighter light.
Strains
True OG
Zkittlez
Cheese
GG #4
Blue Dream (maybe)
Do-Si-Dos (maybe only 1)
Blueberry (maybe)
AplogIize if my format is not typical or in an orderly fashion, that's just not how my brain works.
Any and all positive and constructive feedback is welcome, thanks for reading and happy growing

Hopefully he budget allows for a better tent soon. The VS was actually pretty simple to put together, and there was very minor light leaks around some seams where the frame runs easy fix, but surprisingly nothing around the zippers! Overall I'm not disappointed but looking forward to getting a gorilla tent or similar.
