Hello all. Nice to join the community and start the learning curve to grow the best buds possible. I have done quite some research to get started but always looking for pro tips.
This is my first grow and my experience level is rather low.
Equipment Summary
Grow Tent: 5x5
LED Grow Light: Mars Hydro TS-3000 Grow Light.
Air Exhaust: 6 inch Infinity AC HVAC Fan with Electronic Controller + Carbon Filter
Air Intake: Inline Fan set to low
Tent Fan: Small fan (Off)
Humidity: Tower Humidifier hooked up to Ink Bird Temp & Humidity Controller.
Current Grow (3 Plants) - Approx. 1-2 Weeks In
Strain: Critical Jack Feminized Autoflower
Light Schedule: 18 On / 6 Off at ~ 275W Output (75% Setting on lights)
Soil Medium: Pro Mix HP
Nutrients Available: Remi: Grow, Bloom, Micro; Jakes: VB-1; Cal-Mag; pH Up & Down Solution
Water pH: ~6.5pH
Tent Environmental Temp: ~24C (75 F)
Tent Environmental Humidity: ~55-60 RH%
Outdoor Climate: Winter; Very Dry (20-30 RH%)
Questions Moving Forward?
** One plant is significantly ahead of the others due to it being planted around 5-7 days earlier.
1 - I understand since it is an autoflower, the nutrients portions needs to be significantly cut by (1/8, 1/4, 1/2). When should I start adding nutrients when watering ? Is there a tail-tale sign I should be looking for given these plants started at slightly different times? There is a lot of information but nothing is really consistent or easy to follow from what I seen.
2 - When is the veg state over, is that when the pistols form which signals the flowering stage ? What do I do with the light setup ?
3 - Is my LED light to high relative to the plants ? If yes, can I just increase the wattage or should I lower it with the current 275W output ? Or both ?
4 - How much water should I expect to be put in the 5 gal planters ? This is obvious case by case, but is there a general amount I can expect to be watering these plants when the soil is dry ?
5 - Any other tips/pointers I may be missing or reference materials I should read further on ?
I appreciate the help and guidance ahead of time. Happy holidays to all.
