Hey guys,
I'm on my third grow and just upgraded to 4x4 from 3x3. I was really happy with my last round (4 plants, 240 grams), but reading some of the posts, it seems like I should be aiming for like a pound moving forward. I'm going to list my equipment, nutes, soil, and you guys tell me what you think can still be improved:
- mars hydro tsw 2000 led at least 12 inches away from plants. I struggled a bit with this despite bending and tying down during last round as plants got tall but shouldn't be an issue anymore with the taller tent.
- fox farm trio (looking into going organic, grow big burned one of my plants after first application, did get nice buds with the trio previously, though leaves always seem to turn yellow early in flowering, like week 4 or 5. I feed tiger Bloom, 2 tsp per gallon once a week and big Bloom 2 tsp per g once a week after 3 weeks of transplant into fresh soil, just ph adjusted water in between)
- fox farm happy Frog for veg, then ocean forest when transplanting into 5 gallons
- daily watering of about 1 gallon for 4 plants in 5 gallons, ph adjusted with ph down to 6.3 on average which is half a tsp of ph down per gallon of tap water for me. I also let the water run through a brita filter before using it.
- tie down plant for more even growth as well and trellis net during flower once plants start to touch each other
Defoliate frequently, especially big leaves so the light can get to the entire plant.
- temps were a bit high during summer, average of 85, which is not an issue with current cycle.
- bushdoctor at beginning of week 7. Heavy flush and then just water until harvest, 48 hours darkness before harvest.
Any tips let me know.
Thanks guys

I would second the need for more light. I would look into building a strip light if you can diy, will save lots of money.
