Hey everyone,
So I am working on my 1st grow. Which is a bag seed. I think its going well but I dont know. I enclosed some pics. Let me know what you think.

Also I have 10 regular Cowboy Cookies/ 10 regular Orange blossom special seeds coming this week from green point seeds. Also 5 Cream Cookie Auto fem/ 5 California Snow Auto fem seeds from Seed Plug this week.

The 1st plant is growing in regular soil. I ordered some coco coir and perilite. I will be doing a 70%/ 30% mix of these for my new grows. Also ordered a grow tent.

Look forward to comments

Ok guys here is a new pic. Got my tent in today. The light is a low wattage grow light i have been using for a while. I have a 600w grow light being shipped in a couple days. Yay!!!!

Also got a message that some of the seeds I ordered have arrived in town and at the USPS receiving center so hopefully will be here tomorrow.:weed::D:weed:20200506_195758.jpg

How far will you let it grow before some light pruning? I'd personally do it after a few more sets of leaves. Just curious.

Easyday is your tent a 2x2'?

A 600 watt light might be a bit much for that area, 150 watts per square foot when the recommended is 50 w/sq ft.

You might get some light bleaching, white tips on your colas.

What do you have for air extraction?

For a 2 x 2 a 4" inline fan and charcoal air filter will be good.

You mentioned above that you're getting a new then (I thought, can't find the post again), If you get a 4x4 tent you would want a 6" fan and filter.

What kind of light is it? CFL?

If the bulb is not too hot you will want to lower it within a foot or foot and a half above the plant.

Your plant is looking great Easyday, keep doing the same things.

Don't lower the led too close to the plant, it can cause bleaching in your plant. 1.5 feet should do and watch the leaves after the change to see if they react to the change.

The LED you ordered is likely not a true 600w. More likely 100-150w. What is the model?
