Brand new grower (pics)

[jacksonF]

First time newbee, gonna attempt to put up some pictures. Comments are always welcome.
Starting to ramp up the feeding and it is having a very clear response.

Looking good for sure. Great job! Yep they look hungry so its good you amped up the nutrients. They will be nice and fully green in no time. Keep up the good work and have a happy growing of a day :)

 

[Chronic Monster]

what strains are in what pics or all the same strain? :wondering
what's your temps and RH, I like 60-70%rh in veg. Nutrients? looks like the larger plants may need a slightly higher EC than the smaller plants. might want to bump up your Cal Mag supplement.
looking nice, welcome to the farm :)

Looking pretty nice, welcome...
Issues have been addressed. Except, more crates, less wood... mold, fungus, humidity issues may arise.
Keep it up, they look like you love em.

there is only one time getting your wood wet is a good thing and it ain't anywhere in the garden, lol

 

[PerfectHarmony]

May I ask how old they are? =)

 

[Chronic Monster]

What type of lights you using/ going to be using.

 

[NRG]

Back to the forum, thanks for your comments!

This is a test . . yesterday I spent 2+ hours trying to get this to work. Thanks for your patience.

It seems to work . . more pics on the way. While we are here, what would be a good light source for this tent (want to experiment a bit) for both veg and flower.
Looked at LED and my mentor said 'no way!' Do any of them work as they claim? At any rate . . let me get the other photos up for your review.

still waiting for our mentor to give us some options

second set of Pics ~12 days later

Maybe this will work. Been having a number of computer issues trying to get the pics up . . let's see if they will post.

As you can see we have upped the nutrient levels to ~600ppm and have added some micro nutrients to the dinner plate (Firefox). The room stays between 67 and 74 degrees, still dialing in the heater. RH stays between 37 and 50. We feed for a couple days and then skip one.

We are still working on how the space will expand from here. Got some options on the table . . I'll keep you posted.

Looks like they are liking the nutes

 

[CrippledArcher]

How far along are these? Ladies are nice and tall watch out for the stretch if you haven't flipped these yet ! Good Luck from a fellow First Timer !

Looking good! when u get some time i would paint the wood and polyureathane it so the wood doesnt rot. Goodluck with the grow.What strains r u growing

 

[Chronic Monster]

I would I raise the smaller plants up so they are closer to the light. I like having a two separated areas. One for vegg (18+hours light a day) ,then a flower area(12hours light/ 12dark). i would use the tent for veg. The larger plants look like they are about ready to be put into flower. I would vegg the smaller plants until they are larger. If you are going to flower with that t5 fluro, I would consider a "scrog", you can search on here for examples, or maybe another farmer would be kind enough to post a.thread link or picture. it would cost veery little to build. Also make sure you take a couple clones of each plant. The t5 is a good light but doesn't have a lot of penetration compared to say a 1000w hps. but would would work.great in a scrogg. that's just me, curious more about what others would do. :wondering .. so what is the dimensions of the total area.you have to work with?

 

[jacksonF]

not quite sure. Got the clones from a state producer and they were of mixed ages. This is our first run . . . much to learn

 

[lazarus718]

Looks good for a first run bro! Like others said pitch the wood and use something like fiberglass/plexiglass instead. I never caught what type of soil you were using or any additives so it's kind of hard to pump out some nutrient advice at this point.

 

[GirlCarny]

They look really healthy Make sure they do not outgrow the height of the tent.

 

[jacksonF]

Took advice

Yesterday we did a big change over to the room to incorporate suggestions from you guys. As you can see we are using plastic crates as lego blocks and are able to get everyone the same distance from the light. Disinfected everything with an ozone solution.

We are using a mixture of perelite (sp) and peat moss . . ~60/40
Nutrients come from Aqua Flakes A/B mix
Minerals from FoxFarm - -Grow Big

Going to get 7 more clones . . strains are 2 blue sky, 1 black widow, 1 blue widow, 2 that came from Afghanistan via a vet (?Kush) and three that are unknown.
