Also I added my ufo light that came with the tent! Just so that’s one less step when it comes to veg and flower! Annndd I rearranged my induct system to shoot out the top instead of along the side to give me more room!
Any other suggestions? Or am I good for now!?

Your grow is looking great. Keep it up.

My only advice right now is this. Hang your filter so there are as few bends in the flex pipe as possible. Every turn decreases your airflow.

Have a great day.

Is the FFOF getting to it ? Starting to look a lil burnt!

10

Yes. It’s not uncommon when seedlings are in OF, which is a pretty hot soil. Sometimes they are fine and sometimes not.

I wouldn’t worry about it unless it gets worse.

Use HF or Strawberry Fields for seedlings next time.

I doubt you will have to start over.

That’s kind of a relief! Lol I hope not it’s actually starting to get leaves now too! Yu see that?

Healthy new growth is the important thing. Keep an eye on new growth and ignore the affected leaf. It’s not going to repair itself.

You will need to raise your lights if your grow goes as expected. Consider moving the fan and filter outside the tent.

If you have room on top of the tent you can set them there and use a short piece of duct to suck the air out of the top of the tent.

@CMichGrower
How would that work tho? I thought yu could only suck air threw the filter and not blow through it?

17

Duct inside the tent, to filter on top of the tent, with the fan sucking the air through the filter.

Question!
If I got a soil ph tester, would that mean I wouldn’t have to check run off? When I get to that point obviously! Lol I’m just tryna get everything I need In order so I’m not scrambling last min when it’s needed! @MidwestGuy

What soil pH tester? The pronged meters are all worthless. Every one of them is not worth the plastic used to make them.

You should be either checking runoff or doing a slurry test with a proper digital meter. Checking runoff is the easier method of the 2 and still quite accurate. There are no substitutes. I’ll link a meter below that will accomplish either method.

Here is the one I use. It also tests PPM. You can find less expensive options if you look.
