Hello everyone!
My name is tankado78. I'm a newbie to the grow scene. My 1st grow, while wasn't smoked, yielded a whopping 7 oz. off of 1 super skunk auto plant. Not to sound full of myself, but it made me feel as if I was onto something and I wasn't bad at growing. I gave up my closet space to grow which was 2.5x2.5x6.5. I still have pics and will post. My issue as of now is that this was a couple of yrs ago, and I had about 3 lamps with 2 150w equivalent bulbs per lamp. Now, I'm using a grow tent that's 4x4x6. While still using CFL for now, I have 2 full spectrum led lights, equivalent to 400w on there way. I'm now trying 4 plants under the CFL and intend to start more. I'm a lil discouraged cause I didn't keep a journal the 1st grow and I'm not seeing the same results as I did the 1st time at this point of the grow. I don't wanna bore too much, but I'm determined to make this work this time around, therefore you will be hearing from me a lot during my grow. Thank you all for having me and I truly look forward to sharing with all and gaining as much knowledge possible to produce the highest yield and highest THC possible!

And the pics are they the new batch of plants?

Nah. The pics is from my 1st grow. I haven't taken any pics of my new batch, cause I'm truly not comfortable with the results as of right now. I'm only about 3-4 weeks into the new batch and I guess by looking at or referring to the old pics and how they looked at this same point back then, I'm a lil discouraged. Nutrients are the same, lighting pretty much the same, but the results at this point, not the same.

What's your temps and humdity levels?

Great question! That's exactly what I decided to change about a week ago. Where I live, the temp hasn't quite matched the season for this time of year. So, within the tent I now have it at 75 degrees, with the humidity around 60%. Once acclimated correctly, I've notice a significant change in the appearance and overall health of the plants
 
Also 7 oz on your first plant is amazing well done mate but that's going be a hard number to beat so don't beat yourself up if you don't yield that off 1 plant on this grow.

Please upload some pics when you get a chance. I will check them out and give you my 2 cents.

Awesome! I started following you, if ya don't mind. I will post 2 of the plants. One that seems to be bouncing back and the other that's not so much.

I swear, the 7 oz was a fluke! I don't know how I got that off! This time around, since it was a couple of yrs later, I had forgotten where I've read a fundamental tip, less is more. Meaning, I started off wrong by using full nutrients instead of half, which I'm attributing my not so great start.
 
Temps and humdity seem good, maybe wanna bring down the humdity levels in the next few weeks.

Clearly it's not that then lol.
 
1st pic looks like nute burn the 2nd pic looks perfect.

How close is your light 1st pic could actually just be heat burn.

I'm definitely gonna give it a shot. The CFL is about 5-8 in away from the plant, which is pretty much the same for all. I'm pretty confident that I possibly nute burned in the beginning by using it full strength. The one that looks burned is the worse out of the 4 and the other is the best. Posting other 2 now

Flush them and feed less in the future. Seedlings need to grow into feeding it's a very common mistake only learnt by making the mistake but I bet you never do it again.

Lol! Your a million percent right! I will definitely never do that again. I'm also going to be taking your advice and cutting back on the nutes all together. Obviously not completely, but even less than what I have been using. Trust me, your advice isn't falling on deaf ears. I like to do things right the 1st time to avoid problems in the future. Your input will be put to use!
 
I'm actually scheduled for a water change as we speak and I'm thinking it'll be a good time to initiate that flush now and start over on the feeding. Do you think that I can do anymore harm than I believe I have already caused?
