Lol, how you think Im doing though?
A little background: I have lurked this forum and many other growing forums for many, many, many years! I am in my late 20's and started smoking and getting an interest in growing around age 14 lol. At a certain point you can only read so much though and have to actually get to growing and learn through experience, I thought I had a bunch of knowledge but through the experience of this first grow have come to see how much I still have to learn.
Setup:
Strain: Wedding Cake (Photo) from MS-NL
Tent: 5x5 AC Infinity
Fan and Filter: AC Infinity Exhaust Fan / Carbon Filter
Light: HLG 600 R spec
Pots: Knockoff 2 Gallon AirPots (Lot cheaper than Superroots brand)
Medium: Mother Earth Coco Coir / Perlite Mix
Nutes: General Hydroponics 3 Part Nutrients and Botanicare Calmag
Temps: Around 77-82 ( Havent been super consistent about monitoring this to be honest)
Humidity 50-70 ish? (Again havent been super consistent, need to get Humidifier/Dehumidifier for next grow to be more consistent)
Details: These plants have been pretty neglected honestly. Started April 23rd, under 2 crappy 13 W CFL bulbs, due to work and life they were just kinda on autopilot until May 9th, which is when I finally got them under my HLG light. At this point the plants we're really leggy and stretchy. So transplanted them from the 4" nursery pots into the Airpots (while also burying the leggy stems deeper so they didn't appear all stretched) . We're now sitting at about 2 months and a week old. Ready to flip to flower probably. Not expecting a bunch on my first harvest but have already learned a few things I wanna be more consistent with in my next grow. I planned to LST these a lot earlier but due to work and stuff never got around to it. Kinda just had my tent on autopilot. Havent even been consistent with watering either ( getting better at that , possibly looking at a autodrip system).
I am pretty proud of how thick the stems on these babies are though.
These have all been topped 1 time as well
Also to note, I have never turned my HLG light up to more than about 280-300 watts Yet, due to some Light burn? ( which i later discovered may have been wind burn from too much fan current)(thinking this due to the plants that weren't getting as much wind being a lot greener and not having the rust colored spots and bleaching of leaves.
So how do you think I'm doing for my first grow?
Is it too late to try to LST these baby and make the canopy a little more horizontal?
Also with these airpots, should I transplant them to a bigger one before flower if roots are spilled out the bottom? I get the whole point of air pruning but would it be better to allow to more space to grow a larger root mass even more?
On my next grow I will be getting a lot more consistent with a lot of things, from watering/feeding, training, etc. As well as documenting a journal on here and YouTube.
Heres some pics:
Any tips, advice, I love to hear! Have so much to learn still but am in love with the process. (If I missed including any pertinent details let me know, and I will add it)
MUCH LOVE
