So this is my first grow and it is with LED, the Haight Solid State PPF-800

I started with 3 clones, 1 G-13, 1 Pineapple Grenade, and 1 Purple Haze...

Here are pictures of Day 1:

As you can see they are in shock from the transplant underneath LED's i think...

9 Days into grow after receiving clones i transplanted into bigger pots, I think these are either 2 or 3 gallon pots. I read that i should of probably left them in the smaller 4" clone pots but they looked so unhealthy i thought we needed to get them into the fresh FFOF and change soil, the smaller pots were not draining when i watered...

I'm not sure how old they were when i got them but they were only a few inches with only a few leaves, they are now about 5 -6 inches tall.

One question i have is, when can i cut clones off these plants? i am making a similar box with CFL's for vegging....

9 days into LED GROW

not for a few weeks. your plant need to grow arms at least 3 inches long before u can clone it.

11 DAYS INTO GROW...These pictures were taking this morning, i started this thread later than i wanted, pure laziness...stay tuned updates to come!

Today i watered, i used one gallon of water evenly over the 3 plants (1/3 of a gallon per plant), this seemed to be perfect as water just started to runoff....I plan to water every few days when it looks dry....

FYI:

my light cycle right now is 24/0, i will go right to 12/12 once plants are 12 inches tall as i plan to use the SCROG method given my space, (see first post in thread to see cabinet)

I transplanted into FFOF so there is enough nutrients for 30 days, they say...i have read many takes on this and seems it is all preference and chance, after all it is just a weed!

For NUTES (i need help here): i plan to start adding FF BIG BLOOM on the next waterings and use every other until flower starts...Once i switch to Flower in 12/12 i will continue using FF BIG BLOOM add FF TIGER BLOOM, HUMBOLDT HONEY ES ORGANIC CARBS, and HAPPY FROG BAT GUANO (0-5-0)....i am really confused at how to use these products so all advice is helpful and i will be posting photos!

i was thinking watering schedule of:

FF BIG BLOOM and FF TIGER BLOOM - watering 1
HUMBOLDT CARBS and BAT GUANO tea - watering 2
plain water - watering 3

please help!

This is my first grow so help out if you see a mistake!
