Hey guys new to the growing scene I'm about 2 months into my first plant, now I started in a 5 gallon box with ffof and perlite 70/30 i use 5000k led bulbs with a Equivalence of 600 watts. just switched over to 2700k for flowering last week. I constantly pump in the room as well as right into the roots with soil aeration very haggard lol. I have only used phd water to 6.3 since germination did just water till about week 5 and then added 1-3-1 of some organic orchid bloom. The temp is almost always 72f. Light schedule was 18/6 now 12/12. Had issues nailing a perfect dark cycle in the first few weeks figured it out. I was told the strain is gorilla glue , any thoughts suggestions would be much appreciated! i didn't have much cash to start with I spent a total of 85$for everything
All the pictures are recent at 60 days from seed

Looks good bro. Plant looks healthy too. Gorilla glue is a nice strain too. Resilient as well. I'd personally get rid of some of that bottom growth. Eventhough you have your lights spread out. Imo.

Looking good. You still have time to do some LST on her. Bend that top over and get those lights surrounding her. As close as you can with the bulbs. With CFL you want up close and personal with lighting. You should stay with a Grow food until stretch is over. She needs the "N" for all the fast growth. Then switch to Bloom ferts. Stretch lasts around 2 weeks.

It looks good to me, I hope you can flower it correctly with those lights. You might need more energy to get it to flower nicely.

I was using 5 - 75 watt 5000k with 2 90 watt red and blue par38 led floodlight and a small 23wt cfl in the back wall for vegging I vegged for about 7 weeks and For the flower I'm using 5-100 watt led 2700k with the 2 par38 red and blue and cfl. I did struggle a bit switching to flower but she's about a week in so far and everything is coming along. I hope to have proper lighting next time.

Thank you for the info on the nutes I've was afraid to use to any to start I used fox farm ocean forest to start I had read that it's a hot soil and not to add nutes till week 5 I grabbed the orchid bloom but I'm unsure of when to feed and how much. I have been doing water water feed water water feed.

. Is it bad to have the lights spread out? I always have at least 300 watts on the tops of the plant at all times but I was trying to move the other lights around the canopy to hopefully grow out some of the smaller flower sites I rotate the her every day.
