I thought I'd share some pics of my first grow and I welcome any thoughts and advice.
I'll just list the details that I can remember:
2 Northern Lights and 1 Lemon OG
FFOF with no amendments -currently in 7gal felt pots
3 Viparspectra 300w(136w draw) LED
Veg'd under 24/0 lights on for 60 days
39" square tent
4" carbon filter and inline fan + fan for circulation.
I have been totally organic so far except for some ph-down during veg that I quit using. The only other nute I've been using in flower is AN mother earth super bloom tea @ 5ml/gal and molasses @ 1tsp/gal. I plan on staying the course with this throughout unless I need to do something.
I was very excited at first but now I am a little disappointed in their size. They are only 20" tall at 20days into 12/12 ( but very bushy). I flipped to 12/12 after 60 days as they were showing sex (pistils). I was expecting a LOT more stretch after flipping but they only grew a few inches. Now, I am not sure what I think of these lights.
It was pretty cold in my basement after switching to 12/12 (the lights kept the tent warm during 24/0 veg) and it caught me off guard. I was keeping the basement heated at 62 and the tent temps dropped to 58/68 so I bumped it up to 64 and now it 60/70. I put some insulation under them too to get them off the cool floor.
I also figured I wouldn't do any pruning with this first grow so I can get a baseline to start with and learn.
Here they are (I hope) :day 40 from seed, day 49, day 58 (2 days before flip), and 3 pics from today-day 80 (20 day into flower.)
