First Indoor Soil Grow Marshydro 3000 Fire OG & Red Lotus

[Busta Nutz]

45 days in...but I will post pictures from early in the grow with description of some of the things I experienced right out the gate.

First pics were seeds a week after germination.

Second was of course 2 weeks...about the 3rd week I started to have issues with dialing in my PH of my tap water which I easily regulated with baking soda and nutrients...of course adding nutrients to the water waiting then adding a tiny bit of baking soda to up my ph...seemed to work fine. Kept my humidity at about 60 when they started to recoup in week 3.

Room set up with 9 plants inside is 11/20/2019 I lost a week due to PGE public power safety deal...so after switching to a 12x12 for a moment to determine sex I have decided to switch back to a 24 hour light cycle for close to 2 weeks to establish a little more growth before initiating the stretch again.

Well, The switchback to 24 veg has went really well. I went in with dine broken plastic hangers and hooked down some branches and pruned away some fat sun leaves... The stretch has been replaced with that look of give me total nutrients...I will be bamboo sticking each pot at the end of the week or so...and I'm thinking of putting some insulation blocks on the bottom of my tent to stab posts into...Things are showing that its gonna get tight in there real quick if I don't stay on top of it. 5 gallon pots would have been perfect for 4 plants...I'm really pushing it with 8-9. Go big or go home...go raiders...lol. Humboldt seed company is where I got the fire og...its healthy and hearty..for being regarded as a harder strain to grow..I have been very lucky so far.

I've decided moving forward i'm going to tweak my tent set up a little bit. By running my 3000 in the center and hanging 4 of the sunraise 1000w on each side i think my flowering tent will be in perfect set up..gonna use 2 of the 1000W in my 2 X 4 closet for veg. That's roughly 1350 watts for both areas...of course i have a 450 cfm outward exhaust fan and a 350 cfm inlet fan..im going to get an intermittant timer to run every 3 min on/off. I'm assuming that would cut my usage by half on the outlet exhaust fan..can i alter this even further ? Should i run a 20 inch box fan inside the tent and vent out the rectangle flap? I'm ready to start getting my turnaround time dialed in and run veg and flower at same time..any suggestions on cloning tutorials?
