First indoor grow, 2x4x6 tent.

The grow is in my basement in michigan so i have battled and learned how to control the temps and rh.
Tent is cheap 2x4x6 foot
the old lights were 2pc 300w burples.
I now have 4 qb288 r1 boards running around 50% on the driver.
nutes dyna gro grow 7-9-5 and dyna gro bloom 3-12-6
plants are in 3.5 gallons of happy frog.
normal water schedule is pick up plant check weight then finger poke to second knuckle, water 1-3 cups daily.
I always have to lower the ph of my water as it is around 8.7 ph right out of the pump and heavy iron and very hard water.
I have a 200cfm fan and carbon filter.
I have 1 photo og cali purple haze, and 1 purple kush.
These were gifted to me so I don't know the seed bank.
Then I have 3 BCN auto XXL fron seed stockers.
The photo plants are a couple weeks older the autos.
Germ date Dec 15 2019
Ran lights at 20 on 4 off until February 20th 2020
Lights now 12/12

Few more pics

Comments welcome.

Don't water daily. You will harm your roots and be back at the end of veg or early flower wondering why you have deficiencies. Just wait until the pots are light, then water normally. Oh, and don't feed every watering. Maybe every 3rd (fwwf).

Also, 4 x 288's in a 2x4 is a LOT of light, even at 50%. I have 2x288's in a 3x3 and that is a lot of light. Put the lights all the way up and leave them there. Watch for signs of light stress.

Good Luck!

Cranking along at 12/12 the autos are flowering nice. The photos are taking their time to switch.

Couple more shots.

Looking real nice. When I was in soil/cocoa I kept a similar watering schedule to you by weight. Every day they needed it they got it. Nutes every watering I just flushed with plain water 1 day a week. How are the quantum boards going for you?

Update this week. The auto middle back turn yellow. I turned down the lights a bit and put it back on veg nutes for the next few watering. While waiting on the autos to finish my photos are starting flower.

The new boards are nice and with the adjustable driver the lights can fine tune to the plants.

another pic.

Thanks. Very much looking forward to the smoke test.

A few pics this week. A smoke test on the autos. Whoa very heady long high. Trichromes most clear few cloudy. The photos are still under fed I think.
