Hello all im a new grower and i think i got all the essentials to start. I got a few question about my set up tho. I Got a 4foot by 2 foot by 5 foot tent to start with. i got 5 gallon bags to grow in aswell. I went with the Classic Auto flower pack, so Ak47, super skunk, and sour diesel. For my light i got a vivosun vs2000 leg grow light with samsung lm301 diodes. i also went with the Fox Farms Ocean forest soil. Now for water im thinking about running distilled water because my tap water is coming in just under 8 Ph levels. and if i do go with distilled is there anything i should be doing to it to make it better for my plants? and any recommendations would be great! also was wondering if its ok to grow two strains in my tent at once or should i stick to one strain at a time.

When will I know they are in veg stage?

I think it is somewhat subjective but I count the seedling stage ends at 5th node emerging. But that could just be me.

Would it be too late to start another few plant???

[image] SandyC: In any case, I don’t think I’d start more than one, definitely not another few if that 2x4 is the only tent. Agreed @SandyC and thanks for the tag! :star_struck::metal: @cjkat with a little LST and a plan those plants will be ready to flip in about a month and will fill that tent easily. To the point youll have little to no room for anything else. Save your seeds for another grow and max out the ones you have :slight_smile:

Might sound dumb but what’s lst? @Ebb

Lol nvm. Low stress training. Like I said I’m a dummy

It stands for Low stress training. Instead of HST or high stress training such as topping and fimming thee plant. You take the main cola and bend it lower than the lower branches. It causes the plant to think its been attacked and sends all the new growth to the lower branches. The reason being is the plants are apical and favor the tallest bud. So by bending the top down the other branches fight to be the new top as well as making new growth spots. This allows you to control the hieght of the plant as well and forces it to grow horizontal instead of vertical allowing better light distribution to each top.

I think I’d let the two have all the space they need and do some training. Check out the @Ebb zweet inzanity pics. https://ilgmforum.com/t/ebbs-zweet-inzanity-rbx/98167
