1st grow EVER!!

Brooklynbreed80 · May 19, 2020

Sooo what's up people I'm new to the game lots of book knowledge 1st time hands on so I'll start with my set up I'm using a 2×4 gorilla tent ,260w hlg qb rspec , fan , carbon filter and exhaust I need to grab a humidifier and a co2 bag since this is my 1st run I'm using bag seeds I'm 3 weeks in so on this run I'm using fox farm soil and ph perfect technology nutrients dont beat me down to bad I'm sure I'm going to switch my nutes next run but just wanted to be as successful as possible this go round I got some pics to share would love any feedback I haven't started nutes yet. Just transferred from a cup to a 3 gal pot and attempted topping so this is where I'm at so far...

How close to the plants is the light, and what is your temperature/humidity at plant level?

Brooklynbreed80 · May 19, 2020

Right now I just looked its 75.3 for temp and 69% humidity

Brooklynbreed80 · May 19, 2020

Far as lights I'm at 10 in

CO2 bag will not add much of anything to this grow ... as the use is suited better by plants at a higher temp.
Sealed Grow area would suit it better , plus you would have to move about 1000ppm or better.

Better to dial in your particular grow room parameters instead of using elements to “ supplement “ a possible lag in environment .

@Budzbuddha thanks for the input so far as dialing into my set up should I keep as I have now or still add the humidifier but not the co2 bag?

Run your grow and monitor RH / TEMP under lights on load and lights off. Air exchange also.

This chart should help with basics.

Ok

You're plant looks good

Merlin1147 · May 19, 2020

You might want to raise the light up higher.

Thanks how about my first attempt at topping? and how long will it be before I'll know the sex of the plant

MisterKister · May 19, 2020

Good job on the topping you should start to see the sex in a couple of weeks

Oh I'm sorry when I do mix nutes do I mix it by the gallon?

MisterKister · May 19, 2020

You could get away with feeding it now. And yes I always mix up my nutes by the gallon

Are you dimming the light with it hanging at 10 inches? Was it a prebuilt HLG or a kit?

No I have my light at 50 percent and it was put together I'm not sure what you mean by a kit I'm sorry

Should I put it up higher and dim my light or turn up?

I figured at 10 inches at full power you might be asking for trouble. Good luck with the grow!

1st grow EVER!!
