Number of plants: 2 (1x Critical Mass, 1x Sunset Sherbet)
Lights: Sunmaster SuperHPS 600w
Lumens: 90,000
Light Cycle:18/6
Temps: ??
I wanted to try out growing once again. It's been about ten years since I last grew. Tent ballast and lights have been sourced from secondhand markets from my local area. I am going to try to keep this as cheap as possible, I've already spent over $100 but plan to keep total under $150 for materials. The clones were from a friend.
Materials:
Gorilla Grow Tent 2x2.5 ($30)
Galaxy 600W Dimmable Ballast Model:902517 ($20)
Old Sun System Hood (unsure of the model) ($10)
Pride Lands Premium Potting Soil 1.5Cu($17)
Precision Perlite 1.5Cu ($14)
2x 5Gal Pots ( $1.50 x 2)
2x 3gal Pots ($1.25x2)
Great White Shark Rooting Powder 1Oz ($10)
Clonex Cloning Gel ($5)
Total Spent: $111.50
Clone on the left is Critical Mass, right is Sunset Sherbet

I set up the tent and put the clones in while waiting to get soil and pots. It was pretty hot in there at first until I set up an intake and exhaust just using small fans I had in the house. It got too hot for about an hour while I was out and I think the critical mass was affected by it a bit.

I transferred both plants into 5gal pots today and used Great White Shark Rooting Powder on the roots ( I got a bit on the bottom leaves but I hope it doesn't affect the plants. The critical mass clone is looking a bit rough but I am hoping transplanting will help.

Sunset Sherbert is looking pretty good with fatter leaves that are dark green.

Both Together in the tent. (I know the light is too far away at this point but I need to get a thermometer to check temps so I know I am not burning them right now.

I plan on starting LST after they take root and look a bit better in the tent. Would anyone think it would be a good idea to top them as well or would it be too late at this point?
