First time grower, It’s been an adventure and I can’t believe the progress the plants have made in the last week. I have one plant that’s been pretty sad since sprouting though, curios to any input someone might have on it’s condition? I definitely started off overwatering in the beginning, but have cut back greatly, still unsure about the exact amount of water they should be getting though.
Grow:
3x Dosidos Auto- Barneys Farm
1x Purple Punch Auto - Beaver Seeds
3x3 AC infinity Tent
240w LED, set at 60% (around 330 par per the phone app) running 18/6. It hangs 2.5’ above the canopy
Temp Range: 75-76 during the day and dropping to 68-69 at night. The rh is currently 60-65% with VPD between .80 - 1.10
Potting Media: 3.5gal Air pots, soil mixture Fox Farm Happy Frog (2/3), Ocean forest (1/3) amended with some additional Perlite, Gaia Green 444, 284, worm castings and some mykos.
I just performed a top dress with todays watering of worm castings, gaia 444 and 284.
any input is appreciated

You certainly must have done a lot of reading and research before you started. My first grow I knew nothing about PPFD, proper humidity and temp, airpots and several other things in your grow. We’ll done.
I’m sure you know it but several expert growers on this forum standing by to help as needed (not me, I’m still a rookie).
Good luck.

Plants look good and healthy. Your tent size may limit you to the amount of training you can do in a small space personal in the size tent i would grow one pheno or maybe 2 small autos. The next issue is light/power. You technically barely have enough light/power to flower 1 good plant. My best advice is to use this run as a learning experience. Dont be afraid to a few growing techniques. And if they get to big maybe get a second tent. 2 tents are actually super handy for alot of reasons.

Thanks, yeah the local hydroshop guy sold me on them. I do need to do the pantyhose mod though, they make such a mess when I start moving them around. I guess wrapping them in pantyhose keeps everything inside the pot and helps keep pests out.

Yeah, this is definitely my experimental run. I think the largest tent I could do with my current house is a 4x4, but that wouldn’t leave me much wiggle room in my 5x5.5 lung room. I’m currently considering upgrading my light to a 350w and then moving my current 240w light into a small 2x2.5 gorilla tent. That way I have something to start new seedlings and run early veg while I’m drying in my current tent.
I can already feel the size constraints though haha, I top dressed the other day and it was a bit of a hassle with 4 plants in the 3x3. It’ll only get worse as they start to grow too.

Looking good so far. That 3x3 will be full in a few weeks!

I ended up axing the smallest plant as the 3 others were taking off and she was just getting uglier… They are just starting to flower now day 28 from sprouting (30 seeded). I wanted to cut a few fan leaves off, but it seems like that’s frowned upon right as its transitioning to flower.
When would it be advised to start turning up the light? Right now I’m running at 70% 18" above and im pulling about 570-600 between the different canopies.

I would leave the leaves and turn up the light. In the flower stage you should be in the 700-900 range

Sounds good, I’ll just tuck a few of the big fan leaves that are blocking bud sights and turn the light up and watch the leaves for light stress. My humdity is sitting between 50-55% seems like that should be sufficient for early flower.
Appreciate the input! Thanks again.
