First grow, need advise/pointers

[CFC7143]

Hey guys what's up this is my first grow and I figured I would start a little grow diary in order to get some advice and pointers from you more experienced growers out there. Just a quick breakdown on what I'm using.

Soil- 50/50 FFOF and FFHF
Light- RAW 65w LED
Growbox- home made
Nutrients- Fox farm
Strains- 2 Moby dick, 2 critical mass

My plants are currently on day 9 and I am running my LED light on a 24/7 schedule. The plants seem to be pretty healthy from what I can tell. Really I was just wondering if anyone would kinda take a look at what I have so far and tell me what you think thankyou and also I have a much bigger grow tent on the way and also a much better LED

Looking good.

That last pic is what your waiting on or what your in now? Wish I had that kinda space for a tent. Lol I'm jealous

Personally I use a diy light using 4 standard light sockets 4 socket splitters and 1 extension cord, of course 8 253 cfls. That's what I usually veg with, and I can configure the lights to how I need them.

Just them and 1000w dimmable hps for flower but with that big ass tent you may need 2 1000w hps lol

no actually that's the little grow box I made out of like basic metal shelving that the racks raise and lower and then I took cardboard and sprayed glue on them and attach that bubble wrap mylar stuff and the picture is very deceiving that box is actually pretty small here I'll post a picture to give you reference of size but no the tat I ordered that should be here in a few days it's much bigger I believe it is 3 foot by 3 foot and 75 in or something like that

The box in the picture though will be great for my seedlings and started the next batch of plants before harvesting the girls from the big tent

Ah my eyes playing tricks I see. It looks to be a well made box tho.

A 3x3x6 is what I'm flowering in my veg are in a 2x2x4 tent but because I don't need the 4 feet in height I layed it on its side so I have 2x4x2h.

 

[beetee710]

only 2 feet height for vegging? how big are you getting the plants before flowering?

 

[CFC7143]

I haven't posted any pics in a few days so here ya go. Not too much exciting stuff going on but the plants seem to be happy and healthy. I was starting to worry about the leaves on the Moby dicks starting to grow kinda wavy but I looked up other Moby Dick grow and it seems to be pretty common. And also my new bigger and better LED and big grow tent should be here tomorrow! So stoked about that!!

 

[CFC7143]

When should I start feeding the girl nuetrients ?

 

[CFC7143]

Haven't posted any pics of the progress in a while but the girls are looking good the critical mass is a little behind but the two Moby dicks are loving life I fimed one just as an experiment but it bounced back rather quick. What do y'all think?

so the plants started putting off somewhat of a smell a few days ago so I went and got a carbon filter and inline fan only paid $100 total so not too bad I finally got it set up here's some pictures I was wondering if it looks all good to anyone who has experienced any advice would be much appreciated thank you very much

Fan looks fine ...who makes that cool red color inline fan ?

 

[boomgagem]

Dude your girls are looking awesome! The only advice I can give as I’m a new grower too, is try and keep the exhaust fan as level as possible, if it gets cocked to one side it’ll wear the bearings out faster! Keep us updated!

I got it at an HTG store they sale online aswell

So I just changed some things around in the grow tent and was wondering what you guys thought of the grow tent set up so far I have a 290w yueme full spectrum light that seems to be working pretty good and then I have one 65w full spectrum light and one more of the same 65w lights on the way so ill have one 65w at an angle on both sides hitting the side s of the girls while they grow higher and then the one 290w directly above in the middle. I have a carbon filter and inline fan then a humidifier and then one fan at the bottom pulling air from the outside and moving it into the tent the I have two fans about half way down on the sides points at the canopy of the girls just moving air around. I'm using Fox farm ocean Forrest along with the fox farm trip every other watering but am only using 1/4 strength and to top it off I got a gallon of cal mag today I am going to start adding in as well. So what do you think? Any advise or suggestions? Also I am on day 4 of flowering and I've already started to see pistils popping out.and I keep an average temp of 75 to 80 tops with a humidity of 45%
