So here is my set up. My first grow. Pineapple chunk. Planted 14th October. Hopefully I'll get to the end. Always looking for help. 10ft x 5ft by 6ft high. 2ft x 5ft partitioned off with vent for lung room. Carbon filter fan intake and carbon filter exhaust fan with muffler. Speed control. Black box 6 contactor with 2 x 800w led Cree plugged in. Oil filled radiator 1500w to come when lights are off with black orchid timer on separate supply. Osculating fan on 24/7

Live and you learn. Everyone’s going to give you different advice. However I would have went with an XL hood double ended HPS. But everyone has their own methods. But your lil girls look great. However I would’ve used more perlite in the coco. Drip feed. But that’s just me.

Have you considered trying GH Maxi Series? It’s nice stuff imo.

Any bennies? Hydro guard , Great white or recharge?

Hi Jay, I'm still newbie so don't know much about anything. I bought the led lights as they are 800w each but only use 400w each. They're cheap on the electric and silent and don't give off too much heat. No fans. I went for magic grow soil and mixed permit in with inch at bottom as well. Put into 20l pots at 3 weeks. I don't know what the GH maxi series is, sorry to sound silly, but I'm very rookie level at this. Please tell me about bennies etc. Also i might try coco next time when ive learnt a bit more. Thank you for taking time to give me info. Much appreciated.

I prefer coco over Spagnum Pete Moss but that’s just me. I had a bad experience with that my first run using pro mix in pH levels . There’s a lot of good info out here in people willing to help but there’s also a lot of trolls who will tell you to do the most insane things to your plants.

By the way I know how to spell I’m just talking into my phone because I’m really busy drenching these Big hairy bitches . Anyways...

I personally have never used an LED except for 300 W and to make Pham seeds of all my strains that I love. I tried over 50 strains and I only think two of them are winners. One is the sour diesel with the biggest buds ever had. The other is an Afghan Kush that taste like fruity pebble‘s but it doesn’t yield the best.

So maxiseries is a powdered nutrient that is pH balance and produced by General hydroponics. It’s simple easy and very cheap . It’s an all in one. But there’s three different parts Maxi grill maxi bloom n kool bloom. You used to grow for veg and weak one n two. The bloom until flush or until harvest. The cool Bloom is the help ripen. You can buy 2 pound bags for $15 online that will last you a while. Probably two grows for $50 lol...

Now more roots is more fruits they say. The beneficial bacteria pretty much helps balance the pH in your root zone wow taking the nutrients to the routes . Think of it as a bunch of ants in your soil hearing food to your plants. You’re roots should be white healthy and fuzzy.

You shouldn’t have a problem with bugs but if I were you I will get a bottle of neem oil start . Depending on your location you should spray on a certain schedule . I spray my veg constantly in my mothers constantly meaning every two weeks. I also used predators . Never spray flour you shouldn’t have too many issues I find that I have to spray much more often in the summer months because you’re usually the cause of bugs . Never go cut your grass and then go into your tent. Your asking for spider mites or fungus gnats.

There’s also lotta chemicals out there that aren’t good even though they do wonders for your -year-old they been known to be carcinogens. PGRs. Are use them one girl in my yard went up 30%. However I prefer not to get cancer. Lotta people still use them but every dispensary in Groves facility tests for such things now Days.

Anyways I’m rambling and I got to get back to work .

Anything else you need let me know .

I also suggest you listen to the dude grow show if you have free time it comes on every day at 4:20 LOL. It’s an hour of girl talk and it can teach you a lot . In all their info is good info.

Wish you the best luck make sure you post your results before you harvest .

Overall, I'd say it should do fine. Only real concern I would raise is how crowded it may get. You'll have plenty of light. In fact, it may be a bit much but hopefully, you can dim the drivers.
