New, first time grower

Hello everyone! This is my first grow ever. I got my seeds from seeds man. Currently have 4 Girl Scout cookies. 3 Alaskan banana berry and 3 purple punch.
My setup is a 9x9 room.
1 gallon fabric Vivosun pots
4x4 barrina grow light.
Vivosun exhaust system with carbon filter/ controller.
Soil is fox farms happy frog.
Water ph has been as close to 6.5 as I can get it.
Average humidity is 65% temps around 72f 1.0vpd
Day 7 since sprout.

How are they looking? Today I gave them 80ml of r/o water. No nutes until cal/mag next week.

I plan to add a 2nd 4x4 light next week. Current setting is at 46% about 1.5ft away.

Welcome to my progress. Any tips would be appreciated

Good start but you will want to upgrade to a better light soon. Shoot for 40-50 watts per square foot. A 4 x 4 would need 640 to 800 watts.

Any suggestions for a 9x9 room?

I’m just using a 2x4 and grow just two plants. Just make sure you have your lung room good. You didn’t say what light you had and going to get. You will need good lights to get good dense buds.

Currently have Barrina 4x4 Grow Lights for Indoor Plants Full Spectrum, BU2000 Dimmable, Adjustable LED Grow Light Panel, 816 LEDs, High PPFD, Plant Lights for Indoor Growing, Seedling, Flowering and Fruiting.

Looking to upgrade to a spider farmer. Any recommendations?

Also what do you mean by lung room? As in the room I am pulling fresh air from?

Yes I have and 2 intake fans and an exhaust fan with the carbon fiber filter. It’s not a grow tent. It’s an actual room. So pulling fresh air from the next room over.

I run Szhlux lights in my grow and flower room, a 620 in tent and 840 in my flower room. A 9 x 9 room will need multiple lights. Here is a suggestion, they have a 500 as well with a 5x5 print. You would need 4 for your room. Still not a bad price to flower a 9x9 room!

Are you using only Happy? I see one small piece of perlite and until recently I used Happy and it had alot of perlite.
