Let me start off by saying that i have limited knowledge and no indoor grow experience.. i have successfully harvested maybe half a dozen or so outdoor summer grows like 10 years ago.. but now that i have the space and privacy i planned and setup my first indoor grow!! i am beyond excited and everyday i crack that zipper and see the progress i get so giddy like a little school girl.. Anyway i figured that starting a journal will help me keep track of my progress, introduce myself to the community here, and allow me to gain input on my progress from the more experienced growers out there and hell maybe even help out some of the new guys like myself..
My setup
apollo horticulture 4x2x5 tent
2 mars hydro 300w leds
carbon filter with apollo 6in fan
2 small fans to circulate air
and growing in 3 gal pots with organic soil from home depot feeding fox farm trio nutes grow big big bloom and tiger bloom
my temps are pretty consistant ranging from 75f to 82f lights on and 65f to 72f lights off with a humidity of around 30-40%.. the ac was turned off for a lil while in the house today and i hit my all time high of 84f
Now im growing from bag seed on my first grow just to get my hands dirty with the new indoor set up before i spend anymore money on seeds.. i had a hard enough time convincing my girlfriend that the aprox $550ish that i already spent was worth it..(she dont smoke trees so its stupid to her lol) originally i wanted to go for 3 mars 300w's but i decieded on 2 and left the option open to add a 3rd later if i felt it was needed.. I have 4 of the same seed going onto day 19ish from first planting my germinated seeds and 1 other random seed within its first week of life still.. kinda just threw it in there last min for the hell of it.. i had wanted to do a scrog setup but because i dont know my plants sex yet i didnt want to get that involed into a scrog and have to try and pull any males out of the screen later on down the road. tonight i did my first toppings, i fim'ed my smallest of the 4, did a regular top on the next smallest and the largest, and tried an unlce bens toppoing on the last which was one of the largest 2 .. i have never tried an unlce bens topping before and i must say i found it rather hard to cut so much healthy growth off the top of such a beauty.. i have also never tried fim'ing before so i figuered ill use this grow as somewhat of a earning curve before i go and order some feminized seeds.. i also do a lil lst almost every night but just by gently bending down the branches slightly.. nothing to crazy yet but i plan to do some super cropping and more intense training as they develop.. i follow a feeding schedule of feed, nothing, plain water, nothing, feed and so on..i mix and follow the fox farm nute schedule. here are some pics of my setup and some before and after my toppings tonight..enjoy!! all feedback is appreciated and ill try to stay up to date with my progress.. pay no mind to the small jade plant in the corner thats just my girlfriends plant she is trying to bring back to life..
