Exhaust is set up a little odd. It was purchased with the "help" of my brother.. so naturally it is waaay too big.. I have a fan/filter combo in my flower tent. I also have ducting connecting my veg tent to my flower. The setup I have created effectively creates negative pressure in both tents which means it is pulling air from both tents and exhausting it so there is no chance of smell until the filter starts to fail. The setup exhausts out the doorway at the ceiling. While I have another box fan at floor level acting as an intake into the room
 
Also I do not worry about temperature. It runs what it runs. I keep my house at 72 Fahrenheit if I can. But I live in arizona so heat is an issue and so temperatures cant be helped at this time
 
Nutrients are basic liquid foxfarm nutrients.
Big bloom
Grow big
Tiger bloom

Ph down

And I'm not afraid to use the more natrual/tomato insect/fungus sprays

Soil is foxfarm ocean forest mixed with 1/4 perlite
 
Lol bro if you havent noticed I'm not on a professional level. In veg I have a box fan facing away from plants with x2 6inch fans blowing directly on them.

And in flower I have 2 box fans (different speed and angles) blowing directly on plants. Besides that I have something like 400cfm fan filter combo... I have been trial and error with my setup and I realize I have a lot more error but it's my first OP so it's a fun run
 
So I have finished up with one harvest with my setup minus a piece of equipment or two. And I am not as serious as I should be with watering and feeding... but I had 2 ladies. I didnt weigh the first one but the second came out at a cool 67 grams after my shi**y dry/cure. Which included a major *uck ton of noob mistakes from PH to accidentally breaking a main stem..

I'm on my second grow technically.. however I have several plants at different ages.. which i finally realized is a mistake because of my feeding schedule.. it is too much work to measure and calculate different size pots and at different age plants.. my new goal is to have 2 in flower amd 2 in veg both the same age, the problem now is working out the size/time ratio so it will work out perpetually
 
First harvest came out at I'd say honestly a big Ole 5 star maybe 4.. it didn't smell great and it didnt taste good and It was a little harsh buut it got me where I aimed to be which was in the clouds so I was happy for a short time before I realized I messed up and had an empty flower tent for a month or two
 
I'm looking for questions comments concerns.. ya know like talk shit or compliment or just critique politely.. but mostly I'm here for knowledge. I have learned soo much in 1 grow and I'm still experimenting. Like this little lady.. I dont even know what I'm doing jaja

I have already tried my hand at 2 techniques. I had topped most of my plants. And I have used LST (low stress training) on most of my plants. I also had two plants as an experiment. I topped one once and i let the other grow naturally.. to say the least I will never let a plant grow wild again and a single top is not enough in my opinion.

More on my mistakes.. I am THE Rookie of the year.. only a rookies could make all the mistakes I have "read" about lol... wrong ph.. opposite light schedule..... wrong light bulbs............. holy wack un believable growing.. what have I been smoking.. :confused:
 
I'm about to chop up 4 clones into red solo cups with 4 small holes drilled into the bottoms. Out of these 4 I will be keeping 2 as main plants and hopefully having 2 for experimenting with.. I want to see how very small, potentially single cola plants work out for me. Where as my main plants will be much larger. My goal for my first year or two of growing is to try out as many different options as I can to see what works for me. Pictures will be in the next post describing the basic process I go through in 1 night of just watering
 
Yeah... someone mentioned it and removed their post.. like I said that's some rookie shit lol it will be rectified asap. But now I can tell people WHY exactly they shouldn't use them backwards haha :clap:
 
First off is the cups with foxfarm ocean forest plus 1/4 perlite added, and the ph. One dropper full per gallon brings my tap water ph from about 7.0 closer to 6.3-4ish I'm really not picky as long as it's around 6.0. I casually check with my vivosun ph meter, (I recalibrate using 7.0 reference solution [Which is something like 0.17 off from the real calibration powder mix, I dont bother adjusting for this.]
