First Grow & First Journal

[Okiki]

Hello everyone this my first grow:

1) I am using a 10X3X7 tent.

2)Llights are 2 COB frames:
9X CMX22 Gen3 90 CRI using 3 X MeanWell HLG-185H-48A ON A 4X4 frame 3500K
16X CLU048-1818 90 CRI using 2 X MeanWell HLG-320H-48A on a 4X4 frame 3500k

3) I am using garden soil but I think it's rich enough I've been gathering it in my back yard for years adding cow manure, leafs, green etc..

4) I water whenever the pots are totally dry I use 7 gallons plastic pots.

5) Only used nutes once that was NPK, I've been using the same pots since day one I didn't transplant

6) inlet fan is 6 inches inline with 300CFM, outlet is same. I have 6 fans blowing air inside the tent at all levels top, middle and bottom between pots.

7) Temprature is maintained at 25-27C or 77-80, humidity is stable at 52-57% and I am getting a dehumidifier soon.

I'll upload more pics tonight when I put lights on.

This is the most worrying for me

 

[Okiki]

It seems I was able to identify what the problem, Calcium deficiency I am 100% sure of that, I had a male and when I got rid of it I broke the main stem and it was hollow, second problem I think is wind burn I had too many fans and breeze was way too strong, I cut down the number of fans and adjusted the direction of the remaining ones

After first watering with calcium added, they look better I feel...

Today was the first time I trim my plants, discovered one male.... I am left with 12, 10 are 100% females 2 are not clear yet. They look stressed after the trimming, but in general the seem healthier after the calcium and and NPK (20,20,20), the NPK has very low amounts of trace elements as well.

I did a small adjustment on the setup, removed some fans, added another intake fan connected to a filter box, I am now maintaining a positive pressure, so air is coming out the tent when opened, I really don't mind the smell it's not an issue for me but I felt it's safer for the tent's environment, this way I am sure no air is entering the tent without passing through the filters. Any thoughts on the positive pressure vs negetavive pressure?

Two weeks on 12/12 this is how they look

Those small spots are driving me crazy, they are on 3 plants only although I feed all plants with same water, nutes and at the same time.

Do you know what strain it is I had a few that have spots on leaves all over they seem to be healthy other than look weird

Since it's my first grow I did a noob mistake, I wrote the names on the pots and they are gone, but I know I have Love Potion, GDP, Mystic, Pink kush, Herijuana, Tajikistan. But I can't tell which is which lol

This is what I use

I'm right beside you on the new bus but if you got them on 12/12 don't you need to back off the nitrogen back in the day I used Peters 20 20 20 and couldn't get them to bud and gave up on them

14 days completed on 12/12, how do they look?

Day 21 of 12/12
I was over feeding and have been watering PHed water only for the past week, they are improving... when I tested TDS on the run off it was close to 5000 PPM, yes PPM was crazy high, run off PH was 5.5-6.7... I adjusted the PH on those that where under 6, and TDS had dropped to 2000-3200; hopefully by next watering all will be good...

Opinions pls
