[Hgrk17]

Here is week one of my first grow. Super excited to final do something i have wanted to try for a long time.
So heres the current set up.

Fox farm ocean forest soil
3 5 gallon pots
Fox farm trio nutes.
12, 28 watt 1600 lumen 6500k
1 led 5000k 4000 lumen

3 popped up and took off. Its been growing every day. Added less than half dose of fox farm big bloom today. Got one a little behind the others. Been between 50-55% humidity and 79-81 degrees. 72 degrees at night. Water ph is 6.5. Heres some pics of the setup. Any suggestions and tips along my grow would be helpful thanks-

Awesome. Things are looking great.
If I could suggest 1 thing, it would be to not spray the leafs on the seedling with water. It will end up blocking the pores and causing a discoloring that will then drive you nuts thinking it has a deficiency.
I'm curious why your using bloom nutes on a seedling though? Bloom is for flowering. I would start with the grow big from fox farms in another week or two. Just my thoughts .

Thanks for thr tip. Fox farm has a feeding schedule. Big bloom 1 tsp/ gal. I.used half teaspoon for 2 gal. Tiger bloom is for the flower period. I introduce grow big 2 weeks in.

Oh that's right, it's been awhile since I've used fox farms. I forgot the difference between big bloom and tiger bloom.

Heres an update. Bumped nutes up to 3/4 strength today because they are doing so well. Baby green seems to be stretching a little compared to the others so i drop the light a tad. Growing its second set of leaves now.

Its watering day. Been 3 days and bumped up the big bloom to full strength today and added grow big. As you can see one is definately outgrowing the others. Baby green i moved back to the monsters light position to see if that would help it catch up. Baby greens leaves look a little sad and down so ill keep a watch and see how it responds over the next few days.

Water day- decided against an led for this grow. Went and got a phantom 400 watt HID yesterday and my plants seem pretty happy. Up to full strength fox farm nutrients and added half strength of floralicious plus in the soil for a supplement. Temp has been around 79-84 with 40-50 RH. The baby is finally catching up and im extremely happy with my results so far. .

Good ole fashion foil. Ill have a tent next grow which will be a bit more professiobal

Ok my first suggestion is to actually get rid of that. Foil can cause hot spots on your little ladies. The tent is def the best option, which you said you would be getting.
If that dosnt happen white paint is extremely useful, also panda film works incredible well. Lastly if you want a cheaper alternative you can use a reflective Survival blanket. Pick one up for 3 to 4 bucks.

Ill look into that. I actually went to purchase survival blankets but they didnt have them so i went with foil. Ill take a look into it thanks for the suggestion

Found it. Looks like it can be a good journal but...heres a suggestion. Right now you've posted in the "cabinet-closet-and-grow-room-setup" forum. Looking back through this forum it doesn't appear that it gets much traffic. You'd be way better off to start a new journal in the "/journals-in-progress/" forum. Your thread will receive much more exposure there and over time you can expect to gain an audience that will stick with you to the end of the journal.

Heres a link to help you get started on the right track.

I look forward to subscribing to your journal and wish you good luck with your grow.
