First indoor grow

So after talking to a friend with experience using the 600r and the 650 r in his 5x5, I’m currently running a 600r in a 5x5x6.5 tent in its side so that it has a 6.5” footprint. It’s currently at 32” and around 40%, I have 6 vegging there, but I’m ordering a Vivosun 5x10 another, 600r, and 2 8bulb t5s. The 5x5 is going to be a clone/veg tent with the t5s and the 5x10 my flower, running an 8 and 8 cycle eventually. I have them in 3gal smarts and plan to transfer to 10s around week 6. They’re currently being fed medione 3mL per L and are getting 2L 2x a week currently. They’re in 2 bag to 1 bale mix of ocean forest and hp promix. My question is, for the flower tent, would it be worth the 300ish I can get a 300r for or should the 2 600 be enough? Also, any suggestions on an efficient co2 you’ve had success with, where I can improve, maybe trimming and training or different whatever’s, are always appreciated✌❤

Couple pics of what the canopy looks like, just entering week 5. Next week will transfer to 10gals and cut clones and transferred over to a 5x10. They’d already be in the 5x10 but it was missing the 4 4-way connectors for the middle section, tracking says Friday. The last one is my black cherry soda, have a feeling she’s going to be beastly, the others in no order are Mac1, strawberry gelato, zookies, oreoz, and pure Michigan. I can’t decide if I want to veg these girls out through my outdoor season and see how big they can get, it’ll be a 6 month veg and I’m thinking 45 or 65gal smarts, continuing the same dirt and nutes through, or flipping em to flower after the next couple weeks... thoughts, suggestions, critiques?

4 down 2 to go. Decided to keep vegging through spring instead of flipping so I transplanted from 7gals to 15gals rather than 10s. The 3s had a little room still but roots had grown through the bottom of em all. The idea is to keep em in the 15s and LST em until its warm enough to get them into the 6x8 green house where they’ll have way more head room, then transplanting to 40gals for the remainder of the season. Should spend 8-12 weeks in the 15s. My first indoor and my second outdoor, wish me luck guys:leaf::peace::weed::peace::leaf:

So update guys. Finishing up week 8, they’re in 15s, still getting the medione 3ml per L bumped up to 8L 2x a week and getting ready to double that to about 16L. The first picture is my black cherry soda finishing up week 7, 2 weeks in the 15gal and roots already coming out of the bottom:shock:. The rest are pictures from today. The first one is my pure Michigan, the rest will be dressed up similar. The next 2 are strawberry gelato and zookies. I’ll eventually have a hlg 650 scorp in with the 600r and stick the t5 8bulb in the smaller tent. The smaller tent will eventually be a clone and veg with the 5x10 being flower once these 6 are outside. These 3 are Mac1, which was a slow grower but is dumb sturdy, the branches are so thick, I think she’s going to be a real monster this year, a zookies, which was my runt and the only one that my soil mix was a little hot for, but is doing a lot better with time and training, and lastly my black cherry soda, she’s been a wild bush from day 1 and needs trimmed and trained every week it seems, going to be a real tree come October. I was thinking 45gal pots would be fine but after seeing how fast the roots came out of the bottom on the cherry soda, I’m questioning 65gals lol. I’ll keep this updated in chunks guys :peace:
