New here, and need help with seedlings!

Welcome to 420 magazine

With 36" of total height your gona have to work some magic. I mounted my light directly to a 1x4 with around ¼ inch gap for air to escape vents on top. Long enough to expand across the top rails of the tent frame.Almost like this light is but mounted more in middle of board. Then i squeezed, think it was a spray can lid/cap above that to keep tent off light. 20200403_180847.jpg
Then I would probably use the 5 gallon fabric pots but roll them down. Alot. I say 5 gallon more for the width, and with fabric pots you can roll them down to make them shorter. 3's 2's and even 1 gallon fabric pots should be considered for your space and how many girls you have. On that and your space and size light, consider only keeping the 2 babies that are doing good. In my opinion. Also read up about different training methods. You can keep those girls low and 2 can fill that whole tent floor to ceiling wall to wall.
 
If you can find FFO_Fox Farm Ocean get it ,it is the easiest soil for beginners.If you plan on only using the 300 w light your looking to grow 2 plants,maybe 4..3 gallon pots should be ok.

I waited for this plant to dry out the soil,could have replanted sooner.I think the seedlings will grow slower in 30 Rh as opposed to 60%Rh.

These girls are doing great! The 2 smaller ones are 4 weeks old, and the 2 bigger ones are 2 weeks old!

The height restraint is going to force me to get a taller tent. My goal is a perpetual harvest, so I can use the smaller tent for veg and clones. So I'm on the market for taller tent and 600 w LED light.

And tips for a perpetual harvest, or other ideas in general?

Budget?How much weed do you want to grow?
Your 300w light draws actual 135w from the wall,many 600w lights on the market are inferior and draw 130W or less from the wall.Keep researching.
Hoping 5 or 6 ounces and I'd like to spend under $200 for the light the more research I do I'm thinking maybe a thousand watt maybe 1500 what do you think? I appreciate your opinion! Looking at 60x60x80 tent
 
Well i got out the tape measure I was being too generous.. What would fit on the other side of my closet would be a 24x48. Check out this kit I found thoughts?

Lights that come with kits are usually not very good deals,Start a new thread see what people recommend for your budget.Once you get experience you can get 6 ounces plus 3- 4x a year with a veg tent and 24x48 inch tent.

You could try grower 4 smaller ones in you current set up if smell is not going to be an issue.If you can mount the light 3 inches from the top.
 
Hey everyone I set up my 2nd tent and things are running pretty well.. I need to figure out the pressure problem with my exhaust fan in.. but I have one plant that the leaves just look different.. not sure what it could be any ideas? There are some brown tips of leaves on all 4 plants, but only one looks different. It is one of the oldest ones, that I had to replant as a seedling.
