Hello all
This is my first attempt a growing solo. I have helped friends in the past with some bigger scale ops, but mostly just doing routine day to day operations.
I have a 2x4x5 tent, with a 500w LED, 12” dual oscillating fan, exhaust is covered with a 140 cfm carbon scrubber and 100 cfm in-line fan.
I’m planning on setting up a separate room from the tent to veg in when I flip the tent to flower.

This is a random bag seed, and was the only one of the original 6 beans I dropped to actually take. There were 2 Pineapple Trainwrecks, 2 bagseed, and 2 Golden Goat that I acquired from a bag I picked up at Medicine Man in Denver. Only the one bag seed came up, like I said, which is the plant above. I have came to calling her (hopefully) the Gooey Butter Cake, as a tribute to the fine sweets of my hometown!
So I went ahead and dropped a couple Barney’s Farms genetics into some soil, one Vanilla Kush and one Pineapple Chunk. I was making the mistake of putting the seeds directly into Fox Farms Ocean Forest and just burning them up. The Vanilla Kush got thrown into a 2 gal pot, where she currently is coming up, and is at her second node.

I went to my local GS and was chatting with the owner and he tipped me off to some coco plugs, and told me to just drop my beans in that and I would have better results. I did that, and by golly the man was right! Literally overnight I had seedlings coming up from the seeds, under a 23w 5000K CFL.
I’m just looking for some advice and opinions from more expierenced growers on if I am on the right track? I’m wondering if the GBK is on track for my setup and time out from germination? With it being a month tomorrow, how much longer should I let it veg? I have topped it twice, and have been LSTing the primary ‘Y’ to reduce height. I don’t plan on doing any more topping, and sort of want the plant to start to take off vertically. It’s currently in a 2 gal plastic pot. I should flower in something bigger than a 2 gal, yes? I was thinking 5 gal growbags.
Any and all input is appreciated and encouraged. Thank you all for looking at my thread, and I’m excited to be apart of such a knowledgeable community. Hope to chat more with you all soon!
(PS: I added a couple gems into the “prop room” today. 2 x Sin Mint Cookies and 2 x Pink Bubble Gum x Hippie Headband. These beans were gifted to me by a very close friend and I couldnt be more ecstatic to see how they come up! in the next couple months I plan to have built a new LED fixture for a separate flower room and I will have space to run all these. Planning on 2 flowering rooms, 1 prop/veg/mom)
