Just set in 6 Quicksand Kush plants for my first grow. About a week from flipping them to 12/12. Current grow environment it a 9.5x5 grow tent under 2 1000 watt MH, which will continue through the first week of flower when they will be switched out for HPS. Temperature hasn't been an issue so far, staying between 76 and 80. But today I spread them out, SCROGed, and flipped on the second light so we will see how that holds up. Both A/C and lights are vented out. The plants are in 3 gallon pots of cocos and currently being watered 2-3 times daily with 24 hour light.
The conditions they came from weren't the best so there are definitely some issues, primarily root aphids and spider mites currently. The mites I have a handle on, the aphids are another story mostly due to lack of experience dealing with them. So any input on those would be appreciated, obviously the more natural and organic methods preferably. They were vegged under T5's crammed into a small space with 30 other plants of roughly equal size with zero ventilation, hence why I'm giving them so long under the MH's.
I'll be posting some photos to go with this thread soon. I've been waiting to take some of the mite sites and other problem leaves off till I could set up for photos of those and the grow itself.
