I don't plan on filling the entire tent. I just wanted to give it a try while I had some extra time on my hands. I believe it is supposed to be equivalent to a 600w. I know for sure it most certainly isn't pulling 600w. What type of soil should I have gone with? 80% coco and 20% perlite? I do appreciate your response and will keep posting pics down the line of my progress.Hey. A couple notes:
A 5gal pot of FFOF will get a smallish plant right through its life cycle and yield bud. You are right that you uppotted too soon and too big. It will be a challenge to keep your soil moisture where you want it. The pot is not going to dry out at all so go real easy on the water. The addition of the guano to the soil is going to make it pretty hot (nutrient rich) for such a little seedling. This is why you might be seeing some slow growth right now (it’ll come back). You should not have to feed until you start flower. That being said, when the plant is a foot or so high you might start light feedings. Burn will show on leaf tips. Try not to let it happen.
similarly, your light situation will give you something when you flower. Is it pulling 600w from the wall or is it rated as a 600w equivalent or replacement. I guess the latter but don’t know. You’ll get bud and it will be good depending on genetics and how careful you are.
anyway, light is related to canopy size not tent size. If you’re going to keep a compact canopy directly under the led, you’ll do fine. If you’re going toscreen it out and train it to fill a 4x4 tent, you will need more light.
hope this helps. Good luck on your grow.
Thank you for your imput and help.It could be that because you up-potted a bit too early, the root system is filling itself out again... You perhaps could upgrade that light if you can swing it financially, but it should be sufficent for seedlings at least. There are plenty of good threads on here about lighting solutions and even more people to share experience.. good luck
I think you’re doing great. Your soil is good. You’re going to be fine if you can keep watering in control. Don’t feed it till it’s a foot tall is my advise and next time cycle through a 1 gal with just FFOF before you go to the fabric 5gal with all the goodies.

Again thank you for your respibse. Its been 3 days and she seems to be progressing quite well ATM. She looks to be growing nicely.I think you’re doing great. Your soil is good.

Thanks for the advise! I've been keeping a fan on when my light is running to circulate the air and regulate the Rh. Right now my temps are running at a steady 71-75deg w/ an Rh of 68-73. I make sure to feel up my pot daily, in order to feel how wet the pot is. I gauge my soil moisture that way, along with gently lifting ot up. Tbe guano. I didnt follow tbe directions on the box. I just sprinkled a heavy pinch around the plant initially. I have not added any since in almost 2wks. For water, i give the solo cup a literal shot of water 1x a week. The pot 1q weekly with a tsp of molasses. That is my regiment as of now. Im working on my node producing 7x real leaves. It seems to be working for the time being. Do you have any recommendations?I don't plan on filling the entire tent. I just wanted to give it a try while I had some extra time on my hands. I believe it is supposed to be equivalent to a 600w.

I wouldn’t defoliate, too soon. If I were you I’d raise your lights a bit and allow the plant to stretch. That would help with bushiness. Also allows for good airflow in between the branches. Happy grows.Thanks for the reply. Do i just let it go or do some light pruning? This is my first grow. I know after i flip, its supposed to go through a stretch for roughly another 2x wks correct? I cant see anything in there its so compact.
I took your advise and raised my light to the top of my tent and in 2 days she has deff stretched and opened up. Thank you.I wouldn’t defoliate, too soon.
