Truckin Into My First Grow..

[Trucker]

Here is todays update. After hanging the new light and running it for 10 hours today but still keeping the t5 lights in to partially block the direct light from the new one the little girls seem to be doing very well. I will leave the t5 lights in for the first 12 hours tomorrow before removing them and letting the girls get direct light from the lec.
Since I was off today I was able to check on them frequently to be sure they were doing well with the lec in there. The temperature is holding at 79f and humidity is at 54%. I figure once I remove the t5 lights tomorrow the temperature will drop 1 or 2 degrees.
Here are todays pictures.

Todays update after all the commotion in the tent. The girls are now in their space that they will finish out their grow in. I plan to just rotate them in place a quarter turn every other day. I don't want to move them around in the tent so I can somewhat see how the lighting I have in there is covering and working in all the areas and I feel that's best seen by leaving them in place to see if there are any problem areas.
The girls seemed to do very well with the transition to the lec light and the moving of them around in the tent. I increased the fan to medium speed to see if that will reduce the temperature a couple degrees currently holding at 79f and the humidity is holding pretty much at 51%.
I am still in the deciding mode as to if I will try mainlining any or all of them or just let them go with just lst this time around. I still have about a week to come to that decision.
I will be starting the nutes on their next watering as I feel they are due to start receiving them and will start them at 10% on the first feeding.
Now here are the girls with some random pictures to follow after.

Here is todays update. They continue to grow at a great rate and really seem to like the lec light. The temperature is still holding at 79f and the humidity went up just a bit to 55%.
Had an extremely long 15 hour day at work today so here are the girls.

Thanks for stopping in @xavier7995 and @jumpincactus I appreciate the tip and will grab some for in the future :)

When I plant seeds I don't fill my pits the last 2 or 3 inches so when they do stretch like that I can just add another 2 inches of soil which supports the stem and roots will grow out of the stem u have buried..looking good tho..I'm thinking about getting a small GH ur size for camp

Today the girls are 22 days old and even with my lack of experience they seem to be doing really well. They are now starting to get their own odors coming on and one thing for sure is the carbon scrubber is doing its job so far. When the tent is closed I don't smell a thing but as soon as I unzip the tent you can smell all the goodness start coming out.
We had some storms come through today so it spiked the temperature a bit in the tent up to 81f and the humidity at 56%. The temperatures should return to normal by tonight so I'm not worrying about it too much right now.
Tomorrow I will be doing a regular watering and then the next time they are ready for a drink it will be their first experience with nutrients. I feel it will be time to start adding some as then they will be about 4 weeks old.
The runt has decided to use the stake I placed by her for support to basically try growing and wrapping itself around it. I think tomorrow after watering I will try removing the stake and see if she is stable without it and see if she starts to spread back out or continue to twist herself up.
So far I have been extremely happy with the progress they have been making as well as my learning curve on discovering when they want things such as water, support and when to start nutes.
I have left the lec hanging up as high as it can be in the tent which is about 36 inches above their tops right now. They don't seem to be showing any signs of not getting enough from the light so at this time I will leave it up there as I don't want to burn them up by lowering it just to try and rush them along. I would rather take my time with them and let them go at their own rate.
Here are todays pictures of the little girls.

Ok time for todays update. I decided to start them on the nutes today versus waiting another week. They all seem to be doing well but I felt as though they were slowing down a little and needed a little something extra. So I brewed up their first mix containing Ancient Amber, Buddha Grow, Trinity and Extreme Serene all made by Roots Organics. I decided to go with a 20% mixture to start them off and see how that goes. I also added Stump Tea to the mix as well. With this new feeding I doubled the amount of what I would normally water and they sure seemed to love it. As long as all goes well with them I will continue the 20% for the next few feedings. As of right now I think I will do 1 feeding then 1 water unless some of you more experienced grows have some input on this matter as I have never used nutrients before.
Here are the pictures of the girls today.

These pictures were taken approximately 2 hours after feeding and for a size estimate they are currently in 1 gallon bags.
