Double Dream/Dream Queen first indoor grow

Hey RIU what's shakin? Let me start by saying this is my first grow indoors and completely by myself. I've played in a few gardens and picked up a few things here and there, done loads of reading and figured now is the time. I happen to have an extra bedroom so I decided to build a grow room there. I built a divider wall across the room that's 10ft so the new space is 10x5x8 and sealed... the idea was to make to rooms out of that space one for veg and one for flower. For now it's just one room 6.5x5x8. I have a 1000w hps, cool tube reflector, 6in activated charcoal filter with a 440cfm for exhaust(creates great negative air pressure). I also use a half passive half active intake. The reason for this is I live in a cool coastal city and don't need to use my intake fan most of the time. I only turn it on when it's necessary. I guess you can call it active with passive tendencies lol. I am using cloth pots with a coco called tupur. The hydro shop I bought them at also gave me a 3 part nutrient from advanced nutrients called jungle juice. I bought some terpinator and G-Rex. I will be getting cal-mag if necessary just not sure yet. Went to a local dispensary (Harborside) and purchased 6 plants as to stay prop 215 compliant. I asked for a plant that would give me the best quality and be the most forgiving, I ended up with Double dream and Dream Queen both hybrids. Imo one looks more indica while the other looks more sativa. cant really find super straight answers on what they are so ill just play it by ear so to say. So the first pics I'm gonna post are the day I purchased the babies

Dream queen is just a new name for green crack, great strain super hardy finishes fast (7 weeks). Blue dream is another great hardy strain goes a little bit longer (9 weeks or so). Both yield well and are easy to grow. I have both in my mother room, I do them outdoors every year. I am also in cali

If they were my girls, I would top them. Both strains do great with topping, blue dream really needs it so it doesnt get too out of control.

When my plants have more than one main branch, I top all of them. Im not sure if thats what your saying or not. Your not suppose to top in the same spot repeatedly, I normally wait 7-10 days in between toppings but it is perfectly fine to top two separate main branches at the same time.

Just an update for you guys...I had to sc my 3 double dream ladies as they are beastin out and growing like mad. I sc'd them 3 days ago when they were at 19in and the rest were at 14in give or take an inch. Now my canopy is mostly at 16-17in and looking good IMO.

This is the start of flower.
Fast forward 6 weeks and my girls are doing great IMO. Again this is my very first grow so I don't have anything to compare to. I will count on all of you to tell me your opinions. The first set of pics I'm gonna show you are my indica dominant hybrid called dream queen. Tried to post pics from the start of flower through today..day 42
