How are they looking tips first time grow on a budget

Moisture on the leaves under light should be avoided. Especially if feeds are involved. They look good so far.

Im a big fan of budget grows plants look good , would like to hear more about your light & room & your budget lol !

Its reg. Water between feedings. Should I quit doing that. I did notice the pics looked weird lighr bouncing off water mist. I have only fed with 1/4 amount of nutes once two days ago. I have an Led PAR something. 2 Led 3500 lumen 60 watt comparison. And a 5000 lumen led bulb. I topped few days ago. Minor LST to let my weak lights get down the stem a bit. I ended up finding 2 large window reflectors for an SUV at a grocery store for 5 a piece. I have an air purifier fan enough to give the plants indirect wind. All inside of a plastic tent in my basement. I just bought a blue white Led 28 bulb blue white. They havent acted like they are wanting it yet though. The one LED. Is too much sometimes.I'm about to try to rig some aluminum ducting for air out and in. Do you have suggestions it's hot as balls outside how can I cheaply keep cooler air going in. Apologize for the rambling I'm Fried watching Stranger things

if the led bulbs have plastic domes you can pop them off. I also budget grow with 100 watts for veg and 200 for flower. best advice anyone gave me was to get a quantum board Led. you won't grow monster buds but you can harvest quality.

Thanks Jonathon I'm gonna look into the plastic dome things more. Im for sure into the boards and the new technology any chips. It's interesting and plan on always working my way up the LED Ladder. Thoughts on me still giving 24/0 light they appear healthy and 5 outta 6 growing out instead of up I believe topping young helped a bit. Anyways I've read allot on the topic and have come to a conclusion that there is nothing wrong with full light in veg. What's your thoughts

The boards are about the best bang for the buck my grow right now is a California light works ss-275 @ 200 actual watts I often water between feedings using royal gold basement mix I'm still vegging right now I see no problems with what you're doing just keep moving forward , look at what others are doing , find what works for you I started this grow June 20

I do 24/0 for veg also. normally I grow an auto while my photos veg to have a little flower earlier.

Man.. teach me how to scrog.keep me updated and pics as you feed them through the canopy. Can you do only one plant so you can move the pots if needed?

i got the net i use off wish for a buck lol. i weave the branches through the net to keep the canopy flat.

That's as good as it gets I built mine & today fitted her in place , now to get her filled I've been shut down & recent started back gonna clone soon & next round will be vegging under the t-5 while this finishes I'll be back in water farms next round

I do single plant grows because its simple & I'm gearing up to go full hydro I've got a thread here & a journal I'll keep you posted as things progress I'm using megacrop as it was free & is now my nutrient of choice @ www.Greenleafnutrients.com my grows are simple so just about anyone could duplicate with common stuff , gonna build a plant stand \ scrog & framework out of a milk crate & PVC pipi I'll take pics as I build it

Looking good.

I started my first grow on a budget with some old basement flourecents 8 weeks ago.

Got a 315w CMH for about $180 a week ago

Seems like we're both pretty lucky...

That curling around the edges is just the plants telling you it is a little hot for them.
