Hows she looking looking for advice.

[CTABB83]

This is my first grow and I'm trying to make sure I'm on the right track. Using Ocean Forest so I haven't used any ferts yet. Just R/O water when needed. Any suggestions are welcome. Im using a 2x2x4 1/2 tent w/1000W led at 22in and 55% dimmed. I topped and started LST about a week ago.

Looks perfectly normal to me. Humidity on point, leafs looking great (a little/minor nutrient burn on the tips even though you haven't used any fertz). Is your light a real 1000w? Or how much powers does it draw? I'm thinking it's one of those 100w drawing energy lights so you should get through with that one.

Add Recharge and Fish Sh!T to your soil and you never have to feed.

This is the light I have.

Your light is likely fine for a 2 x 2, but It's likely closer to 100w power draw from the wall. The marketing, calling it 1000w, sux but the light adequately fits your space.

Right, I'm hoping to get a 2x4 spider farmer setup. This being my first go I didn't wanna go to nuts.

Well then with another light like the one you have you should be good. Like @MIGrampaUSA said, your light is more for a 2x2 (flowering) cover area.

Wish you succes. Keep us updated if you can.

Your crushing it Keep doing what your doing.

Yeah my current tent is only a 2x2.

Thanks, it's my first real attempt. I'm just trying to not over think things.

Update: she's looking good I think. Any suggestions are welcome. Not sure what to trim when the time comes so feel free to edit the pic and mark where I should probably trim back thanks.

 

[Bluntsmoke]

Don't trim a thing you're doing a great job.

Binder clips are probably the best lst tools.

They're more versatile and adjustable than pretty much anything else

Good to know I have a few of them. I also bought a Scrog net

I use lst clips. I've also been known to use a pipe cleaner or long wire tie to bend over the main stem. I would bend her in a gentle arch so that the tip of the top is below the next closest branch. This will cause hormonal shift and your lateral branches will grow tall and bush your plant out.

I wouldn't cut anything other than dead leaves until you're ready to lollipop the bottom.
