first time grower. thanks for your help guys!

[DANK PURPY]

just wanna say thanks to everyone on RIU. everyone is helpful and very experienced. just wanted to take time to post a picture of what my plant that was doing horrible now looks like thanks to everyone's help! and ill post some extra pics so you can see the entire grow space so i can get some feed back. first 2 pics are of my plant on feb 10. and my plant as of now!

 

[DANK PURPY]

these are picks of the rest of the plants. not including clones or seedlings. let me know what you think

pic 1 you still need to add 30% perlite to that soil mix, even if just to raise that base to winthin 1/2 an inch of the pot rim, will also dilute hot soil effects and reduce root compaction.

your light situation just sucks consider a mid range led or at leat 3-6 cfls' of mixed kelvin 50/50 cool white/ warm white mix, and a small fan

even cfls racks .. https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/a-collection-of-diy-ghetto-blasters.30154/

T8/T5 need to be lowered to within 1-2 inches of the leaf tips for the lights to actually work!

no this is indoor grow my friend. and its gonna stay that way till i stop growing. which is probably never. im getting a 400w hps very soon. but from what iv heard its a huge difference to just get the 600w

yes i do plan on buying a tent prob a 4x4x6. not 100% sure but yes i plan on getting the tent when i get the hps light

 

[DANK PURPY]

yeah im good with carpentry as well. but not sure what to make it out of and if i did build one i feel the tent would be better. but not sure any ideas of creating one? my budget is very small the smaller the better but i am always willing to throw extra funds if its worth it. not a lot though

d go for the tent so you get a good idea on how to set up
, it's all there for you in a tent. I only suggestef a grow box because it can be cheaper, but a tent will actually teach you how to set up a box properly.
