Whats up everyone. This is my first grow journal and maybe my 5th grow ever. Now that we got legalization here in CA the worries of growing have decreased a bit. So a grow spot I never thought would become available, became available! After a week of painting the walls bright white, sealing the windows up, adding venting for both 6" inline fans, and hanging the lights... my grow room is finally ready! Got a hold of 8 blue dream clones, and a blue dream teen as well, and transplanted all of them into 4 gallon pots last Wednesday.
Now my journey begins! I'm working on posting pics now.:welcome:

Filter, Inline Fans, and my pulleys. All off amazon prime!

Freshly transplanted clones! Going to try the GLR light schedule 12 on 5.5 off 1 on 5.5 off. Trying cut down on energy even with all LED.

Found a wifi security camera on amazon also, sends my phone messages everytime the lights turn on and cause motion/sound. I also catch myself laying in bed staring at my ladies lol.

Thanks Kush Girl!

First question.. When should I start bending these babies down? Not 100% sure i'm going with scrog yet, but I'm going for yield on this run and I want bushes. Thanks!

Wondering if I should start with a FIM or top, or just go with LST? I have a lot of room and want to use as much up as possible. Appreciate any input!

IMHO I would top them 1st then start LST. That's just my thoughts/opinion though. That's how I am going to run this grow. I have done hours upon hours of reading and learning and decided that's what is going to be good for me . Topped the 1st one yesterday and she loved it and she was so beautiful this morning. Topped the 2nd one this morning. Crossing my fingers

Kush Girl keeping it green from seed. New babies (growing from seed)
 
I would top and then lst

Especially if you might possibly scrog its better to start sooner than later.

This is my first time doing a scrog but already i can tell itll be my biggest yeild yet.

3 plants in a 3x3 just started week 2 of flower

Decided to bend 3 of the plants down, but haven't topped yet. Trying to let the other 3 catch up first.. Will post pictures soon.
 
I've been doing some research trying to figure out what's causing my plants to grow so slow in veg. And today I may have figured out the problem. After finally getting my temp/humidity gauge I realized both rooms are sitting around 25% humidity.. So bought 2 humidifiers and popped them in just now. Not seeing a big change on the gauge in the bigger room, but instantly saw the smaller room go up. Can someone else that is using a humidifier chime in and let me know if it is used on a timer or running all the time?

Thanks in advance!
