Well today my buddy and I invested in:
Lumatek 600w Digital Ballast
Yield Master 2 Reflector
600w HPS Eye Hortilux bulb

Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil
Fox farm grow big, tiger bloom and big bloom.

I have a 3 week old that has been sitting in my windowsill, and today we transplanted "her" into a 1 Gal grow bag. We used a generous amount of water to get the soil able for transplanting.

We have a Tent ordered and on its way, along with a thermostat/hygrometer both purchased on Amazon:

Tent:

Thermo/Hygro:

We Have 9 Bagseed that we have collected over time germinating right now. We arent all together clear on what strain we have but he seems to think there are two types of seeds, Hawaiian and some purple.

Im New to growing, Been lurking Rollitup for quite some time, learning from all of the brilliant minds. Tips and suggestions would be awesome.

Day 3, took the pics at night. Eve is perky as ever up top but down below we are running into some issues.

The Lowest set of leaves are getting kinda yellow... Well, they are yellow. From what I've read its a Nitrogen Deficiency, I would love for someone to lay down some experience: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journal-discussion/353284-600w-grow-tent-journal-discussion.html

As of now she hasn't been watered for about 46 hours. The last time she was over watered. Im not going to water her yet, unless someone interjects and corrects me, She hasnt been given any Nutes ever. Im not sure whats best but id rather wait another day and a half before i giver her a the first hydrating nute shoot.

In a bit i'll go check the germination station...

Day 5 I believe.
So far 5 out of the nine seeds have sprouted, there a but off to the side getting some of the "Softer light"

Meanwhile,

Eve is looking good, her lower leaves still have some yellowing but it looks very minor. We fed her last night. Poured 1 teaspoon of Grow Big into 1Gallon of distilled water. Then splasher her soil with it till it got nice and moist. She's gonna love it.

The tent is on its way, only about two more days.
Once that arrives I'll go purchase:
An Airfilter
Duct fan
Duct tube
Zip ties (or whatever i find)

pH adjusting chemicals, Soil Tester, and Thermomteter are also on there ways.
I'll get it all this week.

Here are some Pics

Day 6

Okay so we woke up to some good news this morning, Tent has arrived, along with the soil Tester and Thermometer/Hygrometer.

We also went down to our favorite garden store and bought a 4" Inline fan, 4" ducting, Two 6"to4" reducers for the reflector. We also bought an air filter that we will install when we have better tools and the plants start stinkin'.

Eve is looking big and green and healthy. Yellowing on the lowest leaves has not changed, other than the green has gotten greener. Were pretty sure those leaves will just die and fall off eventually.

The Germination station is looking great. Out of the ten seeds we've planted, all ten have showed signs of sprouting (Two are just under the soil). We labeled the first five healthy ones with vowels, We suspect that this may be one strain, and the other slower seeds are the second. (Labelled with consonants)

Right Now the whole gang is in the tent, and we have been monitoring the temperature and humidity.

So Far, temps have been High, peaking at 90 degrees Fahrenheit . The room itself is a bit stuffy and were experimenting with some alternative circulation setups.
