You didnt have enough light your first grow. FFOF is a good dirt, you dont need to add nutrients until about week 5 or 6 with it.

Ok so not enough light...what do you suggest in reguards to a decent light that wont brake my wallet??
You could add a 315 CMH... look around amazon, brands like vivosun are pretty cheap- though i would recommend getting a philips bulb. Or just add another similar LED. Or add two 150w sunsystem hps lights (77$ each on amazon)


CMH



HPS

**UPDATE**
Make this quick
FINALLY received my seeds. Planted 6 girls in total. 3 Gorilla Glue Autos and 3 Crystal Meth Autos from Fast buds.
All the girls sprouted by day 4 and 5 except for 1 Gorilla Glue, so it has been replaced with a White Widow from SeedsMan.
Want to take a moment and send a special thank you and "Big Ups" to @Budzbuddha for the amazing post regarding FFOF for dummies HONESTLY has made this second grow a breeze. Had MAJOR issues last run in reguards to heat and humidity. Ditched the tent and just used the closet. Dont mind the setup. It might not be the prettiest but it works.
The 3 vents are for my portable AC, Exhaust And Fresh Air Intake. Plan on sticking with @Budzbuddha FFOF guidelines and will update weekly. Oh yea got bored so i planted 3 18oz Solo Cups for the heck of it. 1 Bluberry Auto 1 Gelato Auto aswell as 1 PineAppleGlue from Advanced Seeds. As always and feedback/ suggestions are ALWAYS welcome.

Sounds like your having fun. It’s god when you find something that works, yeh the only thing holding you back is that light now. If your already running ac maybe a 600w hps would do great cheap and work so much better. But all advice wish you a happy grow

**Quick Update**
So the girls are just over the 2 week mark. So far so good. Got rid of the solos and one grow bag as they never sprouted so just my 5 girls for this grow. I notice the runt of the group has some nute burn. Im thinking she is a bit sensitive as the other girls have shown no effects from the FFOF/MegaCrop mix. Im just keeping my eyes on her. Her leaves that are yellow, were turned down and she was looking rather sad lol but a few days rest and she seems to be recovering nicely. Second watering with 5ml CalMag Plus, keeping my PH in range, aswell as temps and RH. Getting my snazzy new light next month and im supper excited to see the effects it has on my grow. Well thats pretty much it. As ALWAYS any comments or feedback is greatly appreciated.

Lookin good ... some young plants are sensitive to the medium up front but will grow out of it.
Those first set of leaves are expendable.

keep us posted.

My ladies are 9 weeks now. Thinking the two slow pokes in the back will need a few more weeks ESPECIALLY my runt. Happy to report they are all doing well. I know I have thanked you countless times @Budzbuddha but honestly you laid out a fool proof way to grow with ease and I honestly couldn't have done this without you friend:hug:
Getting ready to recharge the 2 ladies in the back once more. 3 in the front are almost done. Trichome's are getting a bit cloudy. Holding out till I see some of them turn amber. Just keeping everyone comfortable and happy. Very satisfied with my new light and liquid kelp is AMAZING!!! Check out some pics below and as ALWAYS any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated.
