New LED farmer looking for ALL relevant tips,tricks, criticism. (Will start journal very soon)

Hey everyone,
Ive posted a few thread by now, and based on all the help I've gotten I've tweaked my set up a bit. I'm growing in a 2.75ftx2.75ftx5ft grow tent. I'll be starting with 2 northern lights feminized seeds germinated in rapid rooters plugs and first grown in solo cups. I will transplant into 3 gallon fabric pots filled with Fox Farms Ocean Forest75% and 25% perlite. I also have fox farms trio formula and cal mag. I will grow with 2 mars hydro 300 watt led (132 w actual for each) and will have 2x 23 watt cfl on each corner of tent (6500k veg, 2700k flow). Plan to veg for 5-6 weeks and flower for 3-5. Also have Electronic time, small oscillating fan, ph and moisture soil tester, ph control kit, garden twist ties.
How does it sound? Feedback? Criticism? Suggestions? Yield to expect? Come on everybody come grow with me

that's a pretty short tent, if you veg for 6 weeks you might find yourself looking for more room. a good rule of thumb is when a plant flowers it doubles in size. so use that as a measure when to flip. a plant will flower when ever you want.

at 5 ft -lighting space, i think you might be looking at a much shorter veg time. you can do some bending and trells to spread out the max out your grow area.

with good lighting and proper feeding 6 weeks is some pretty big plants.

I was concerned about that but northern lights tends to stay on the shorter side. I will also be LST which shoul help even out a growing plant

For starters a plant that has been vegged for 5-6 weeks will quadruple in size, maybe more depending the strain and flower for 3 weeks? lol they will not be ripe until week 8-9 of flower.

so 5ft -the light so another foot. so really 4 ft of grow space: a two week veg (starting from the first set of fans), 3 with trells and bending. even then it might be close.

even if he zip ties the lights to the pipes to save the 6'' of ratchet hangers space.

use 5 gallon smart pots, flattened out save another 6''.

set the pots on one side of the tent and bend them straight out toward the other side. get the tops going from 2 plants, then flip'em.

lets us know what happens, just remember once they are about half away flip'em no matter how many weeks.

In a space like that I would manifold those plants for 4-8 tops and flower them at 15". I'm vegging 3 plants, trained for 8 tops, under a single Mars 600 (278 watts). While you're training your plants you can take clones, root them well and flower them in small pots next to your main girls Clones should be well rooted by the time you're ready to flower the main girls.

Flowering for 3 to 5 weeks? What???
