Welcome, welcome one and all! I am Young Yoda, a budget-oriented very much amateur grower who wants to teach and learn.
First off, I've no idea what I'm doing! The mysteries of the photoperiod plant still evade me and I'm going to attempt some autoflowers? I must be crazy! But that's no problem, you see, the plan is to pop a seed every month. Mess one up? We've like 12 more to go! Yay!
Up front is a cheap 2x4 grow tent I snagged off the internet somewhere. In it are two Mars Hydro 300w LED panels. These are the originals which supposedly deliver 180w true. Don't think you can get them in the US anymore. In the corner you'll catch a glimpse of a 4in phresh filter which is hooked up to a 6in fan run at half speed when it is on. It is not on right now since I just finished my last photoperiods, but I figure I'll need the filter again in 2-3months so I'm leaving hooked up. For now I'll just have a small fan blowing air through the tent door. Temps maxing out around 82 but typically 80. RH around 50%
The plan is to perpetually cycle 3-4 plants through the tent. If I feel like I am running out of space, I have plenty of CFLs to grow out the seedlings for a while elsewhere.
We're going two routes for nutrients: supersoil and tea.
My compost is a pretty standard mix but I did add a few things that aren't pictured in my ingredients tub like crab meal. I did add worms and I used a plastic tub without drainage to cook it for about 8 months now. (extensive regular mixing required) Fed lots of kitchen waste the first few months.
The supersoil went about halfway up the 3 gallon plastic pot and I filled it the rest of the way with an organic soil. I was thinking FFOF but I decided to go cooler. Maybe we will change that.
We're running Dinofem here, I've got some Sour Diesel and Critical Cheese, but up first: Bubba Kush! (Indica-dominant)
Now, ladies and gentlemen is the moment you've all been waiting for! Please stand up, interrupt, and have a hell of a time! Thank you!

I hope your girl will grow strong and bushy. There is a journal by PakaCordova with similar setup you have here. 
Lots of similarities, except it was a photoperiod of course.. There's also an extra node on Hestia, and I don't want to waste it. Hmmmm. Hopefully the ponytailing does the trick.
Quite some pals I've got here we should have no troubles
This feels a little early for comfort. We'll see.
Still haven't given any flower teas yet but that's up soon. Oh and yes, my weights are change taped to tomato wire
