First Grow

[Maui7769]

Hey ladies and gentlemen. Hoping for some tips on my first run of growing cannabis. I’ve got a 2x2x4 tent with a 4 inch inline duct fan and filter. It’s running a 100w LED UFO light. It’s a very basic setup but you gotta start somewhere right? I germinated 5 Duban Poison feminized seeds and planted them on 10/5. The 4 out of 5 popped up within a 3-5 days. I’m using Indicanja soil which is supposed to be a water and go kind of soil. Im probably a couple of days from transplanting them into there final homes. I’m noticing that one of the plants has some reddish color taking over a couple of the leaves. From my research it’s look that maybe it could be a phosphorus deficiency. I plan on transplanting into 3 gallon fabric pots. I’ve seen a lot of suggestion to go with 5 gallon pots but I need to keep the plants to around 3 feet max do to the height restrictions for my tent. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thats a lot of fan action for your tent/plant size imo. And 5gal pots are way too big again, tent size, especially with 3 plants.correction, 5

Put a 5 gallon bucket in the tent and think about the mistakes youve made.... That tent is way to short to flower. Can it be done? Yes. Is it going to be a giant pain in the ass? Absolutely.

Mainlining Nebula Haze.

I appreciate the feedback. I started all 5 but only plan on continuing with the 2-3 healthiest ones.

This is close to what doing, 5 plants growing and mainlining & manifold LST, using these as a test to see which way to go, I imagine I will be lucky to have two plants in that space at the end, next time I intend to go with 3 gallon pots.

Try making more of a cyclone effect with those fans. Point them more at the sides of the tent .

I anticipated having to do some low stress training for the height issues and will only be continuing with 2-3 plants after transplant. Other than the mistake of height issues is there any other suggestions you have to point me in the right direction.

Pics 5,6 look like wind burn and or overwatered. But wind burn can cause probs that look like deficiencies , so I'd try that first.

I’d like to look more into this mainlining and manifold method. Thanks

What’s the NPK ratios in that soil?

What’s the NPK ratios in that soil?

Not sure the difference but it gives a “As Rec’d” percentage and a “Dry Weight” percentage. N is .88%-1.70% P is .68%- 1.31% K is .50%- .96%.

Look into LST, topping and Fimming. And scrog. Best best for your tent.

Pretty low numbers as far as NPK goes. Might wanna get something to up your N during veg. Might explain the discoloration.

Super cropping too

N only or something across the board for all 3?

Nitro is important for veg, I'd add more cal-mag next water. Those lower fans didn't sit in wet soil for extended periods of time right?

No, I’ve been watering them nightly when they’re fairly dry. I use filtered water but don’t really know a formula to add Nitro, Cal or Mag. I’ve been researching to see what the correct ratio should be but there’s Soooo much info out there.
