AK-48 and Pre-99 Big Bud 4x8 HLG600H Grow

Hey guys, this is my 6th grow. I've never fully documented one and this plan on starting from now on. My setup is a 4x8 tent, 4in carbon filter and exhaust fan, 4 circulating fans, and an HLG 600H 2700K grow light. I've had all my stuff in storage for the past 2 years and finally am able to start again. Feel free to comment and offer suggestions, I'm still learning here and trying to figure out what will work best to maximize my yield and quality.

Plants:
AK-48 Feminized x3 by Nirvana Seeds
Pre-99 Big Bud Feminized by Nirvana Seeds

Nutrients I'll be using:
General Hydroponics Flora Micro, Grow, and Bloom
General Hydroponics Cal-Mag
Bud Candy

10/7 - Put seeds into Miracle Grow potting soil (I know this isn't good for them, but was all I had at the time)
10/11 - Seeds sprouted
10/22 - Transplated to 5 gallon fabric pots with FoxFarm Happy Frog soil (feedings have been around 6.3-6.5pH and 330-350ppm, only using Cal-Mag and Bud Candy)
10/24 - Added Exhale C02 Bags (instructions say these take around 1-2 months to begin releasing C02, not expecting miracles from these but if they help a little it would be nice)
11/4 - Feeding with Cal-Mag and Bud Candy, 6.5pH 750ppm, also trimmed very little under growth on the 4 main plants // AK-48 and Mystery seeds sprouted

I'm currently on a 24/0 light schedule, and have been since they sprouted. I'm considering flipping on the 13th, but may go a little sooner.

I also have 2 seedlings in the tent, one is AK-48 and the other was a loose seed I found in my seed container, so we'll see how that turns out. These 2 will be moved into a separate veg area under a Viparspectra PAR600 LED light once I flip the others into flower.
Temp is also a little low in the picture as I had the tent open, its usually no lower than 70F and maxes at 80F. Low humidity is my issue at the moment.

Unfortunately I don't have pictures from before today, but starting from here on I'll be doing weekly updates on my progress.20191104_040417.jpg20191104_040424.jpg20191104_040623.jpg20191104_040638.jpg20191104_040645.jpg20191104_040649.jpg20191104_040656.jpg20191104_040748.jpg

Thanks for watching!
 
Hey guys, here with our first week update. I think I finally figured out why my plants always seem extremely short (I have no reason to keep them short), I think I've been topping way too early (usually at the 2nd or 3rd node. On my new batch in the veg tent I'm going to try not topping until they are at least a foot tall.

11/8
Transitioned 4x8 into Flower, now on a 12/12 light schedule
Moved 2 sprouts into Veg Tent 4x4 under Viparspectra PAR600 LED light with a 24/0 light schedule
Did some light defoliation in the flowering tent, just cleaned up the lower canopy a bit

11/10
Got my seedsman order in, went ahead and planted a few new ones for the veg tent
Planted Alaskan Purple by Seedsman x3 as well as Grateful Casey Jones (hybrid mix pack) x1
Watered all plants with Cal-Mag and Bud Candy, 6.7pH and 550ppm

Everything seems to be growing pretty well, I haven't noticed any deficiencies.
4x8 - Week 1 Flower
4x4 - Week 1 Veg

My plan is move the drying buds into the 4x4 and the veg plants into the flowering tent once I harvest the 4x8. I flowered the 4x8 a bit early this time around just because I'm currently having to buy my medicine from the store and I'd like to cut that out asap. I'm not expecting too much of a yield off the first round, just hopefully enough to last me until the next harvest. After a couple grows my plan is to start doing only 1-3 plants at a time with a much longer veg time. I have some interesting seeds from different breeders on Seedsman and will be posting those as we get to them.

Thanks for watching and again if you guys have any suggestions or comments, feel free.
