Heyeveryone, This is my first post on this website, have been a fan of thiswebsite ever since I found it and have found some very valuable informationthrough this community. Decided to start growing last summer for my firstoutdoor grow that was pretty successfull, but learned a ton from my mistakes.Feel like I'm knowledgable enough to give indoor autos an attempt. Had enoughmoney saved up to get a 4x4 grow tent ( Darkroom II Pro DR120). Heard so manygreat things about Think Different and Mazar that I had to try them out. HopeI'm succesfull any tips or help from you guys would be greatly appreciated!
Using two clip fans for air circulation, I also have an inline fan that issucking air out of the tent that is connected to a carbon filter a tthe top ofthe tent. Have another ducting running from the bottom of the tent to theoutside of the room
Have 7 TD, 6 Mazar, and 2 Ice

Light: Hortiux HPS 600W with adjust a wing reflector and SuperSpreader light diffuser
Container: Maxipot 12 liter pots square
Nutrient: Fox farm nutrient trio formula, Superthrive root stimulator(only using twice through grow cycle, Blackstrap Mollases
Soil: Fox farm Ocean Forest
Grow Method: SCROG 12'' above bottom of plants (2x3'' holes)

Today will be the end of the third week. I planted the Mazar and TD on MonFeb 11th.
The Ice was planted on Sat Feb 16th.

I added a towel to try to raise the humidity a bit. It was around 30 rh butwith that towel, another towel hanging high and the bucket of water i raised itto about 40-45. I ordered another fan to connect to the duct to bring in morefresh air. Hope that solves the rh problem, but I have it around where I wantit.

Few of the plants have leaves that are light green that are curling up slightly only like one or two are like that I kinda figured it was because the light were to close but I have the lights at about 24-28" and all the other plants look perfectly healthy so I don't know about that

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I hope I know enough to have a great grow. Really excited.
 
So question for everyone. I have my autos in 3 gallon pots and you know how most feeding schedules are based off 1 gallon so I thought half a gallon would be about good for each plant. But Im getting a ton of runoff even giving them like a qtr gallon then waiting twenty minutes and giving it the other qtr gallon. I haeard of ppl just spacing out there feedings instead of giving it all at once. Im thinking that would work a lot better such as feed on monday then feed the rest on like say thur qtr gal each what do you guys think
 
Well you should be watering/feeding only when the soil is dry in the top 2"-4". The ladies will also tell you when they are thirsty as they will tend to get droopy (unless they are always wet, then droopy means over watering). Also I'd advise letting the soil go completely dry at least once every week to two weeks as it stimulates root growth and reduces chances of root rot. Only feed when you need to! If you are getting a ton of runoff it sounds like you may be over watering? Or are you perhaps not uniformly watering the surface of the soil?

Hope this helps!

Oh and nice ladies!! Sub'd up for sure!
And I just noticed it seems like you left a lot of room in those pots (those are the containers you are talking about watering no?) so you also may be dealing with quite a bit less than 3 gallons of soil as if those pots have a taper like they seem to it means the top half has more volume than the bottom half.

I mean I have been watering when the top 2" of soil is dry which has been roughly every day or two. Its a little quick then normal because of the humidity not being exactly at the level it should be. Did not know about letting the soil go completely dry every week or two. I feel like I'm getting a lot of run off is because of giving the ladies too much water. Thanks man for the advice

Ya man from what I read people said like 4-6'' from the top of the container and thats what its at. I kinda diagree with that now, next time definitly going to go like 3''. Some of the first growth and leaves are like running into the containers you know. True point. I feel like qtr gallon will be sufficient for water and feeding i'm just going to break up the feeding and play it by ear, if there starts to be any signs of chemical burn Ill step back.
 
Hey guys. Today is the end of week four. They grew ridiculously from last week. Starting to train them. Also I cut the majority of the leaves in half there is sooooo much folliage, hoping this will help get sum more light penetration to the bud sites. Only problem was I can't get to the back of the tent and under the screen to get the back row. Picture in the corner is from last week just to show the comparison.
