Experimentation rarely leads too first time success
I'll be surprised you end up with an ounce a plant

That said ambition may lead to success later down the road

I feel like 4 is perfect coverage for a 6x6. I hope I don't end up wrong. It will be bright as all get out I'm sure. I did get protective glasses for eyes already

Just start high in hang and low in power. Gradually turn up until leaves roll over or curl as they appear skinnier. Light stress. Baby steps.

And my direction in the gardening thread had a typo. Hope it didn't come across the way I read it. LOL.

Peace.

What nutrient line IYO is the best?
Click to expand...
I've run GH Flora trio since 1996. I've tried some other nutrients, and most were fine. I try to stay away from Fox Farm and Advanced Nutrients and any of the overhyped cannabis lines. Since I grow hydroponically most nutrients used by university greenhouses work well for me and have been proven over time.

I started in NFT rails at the beginning and evolved to coco/perlite for my individual growing space and unique environmental challenges. That's the point my challenges won't be yours. So you start small and pop a couple seeds and learn from the plants.

You have a darling seedling that you love now but by 4-6 weeks in flower expect to be wrestling with it. That's why trying to dial in everything from the beginning doesn't work. My mentor had a 60k watt commercial grow. He didn't begin there. Unfortunately we all begin at the beginning and the devil is in the details.

You're setup looks good. I have a 3 x 3 tent with a 320 watt LED light. We have done pretty good from the start, I have averaged around a pound from each grow, sometimes more, sometimes a little less. have grown 4, 5 and now 3 plants. Having a stable temp of 65 may be good for you, you'll have to wait and see what temps humidity are as time goes by. Heat was a factor for first grows, now have a small ac unit to keep the heat at bay. This latest grow I have only 3 plants, due to 1 dying, and I don't see getting such a large harvest this time. Picture is autoflower White Widow, 8 1/2 weeks from germination.

Thats awesome I might switch to six or eight instead of 10, 15 gallon pots next time if my yield struggles with 7 gallon pots this time

The babies are all up except 1 and I checked it's about to pop. The "Hypertough LEDs" from Walmart are going to have to suffice on days that it's not storming out until the Electric Skys come in. But I'll be honest the ones that are up look really good. 5 more going in this evening. Starting to think I might do 8 instead of 10. Gotta see how crowded she looks.
