Hello there, this is my very first grow and i am eager to learn. Here are some specs for the grow
Soil: BioBizz Light mix with 50/50 perlite
Nutes: FF Trio
Space: 24' by 24' by 63' tent in my closet
Lighting:250 watt hps super spectrum with maybe a couple 45 watt 2700k for flowering
Strain: Nirvana's Jock Horror
Water: Using tap water set out for 24 hours then ph balanced to around 6.3. Keeping it in a 5 gallon reservoir with an air pump in it.
Going to post a couple pics of my set up then of my baby girls
Looking for ay helpfull advice/criticism throughout the grow
Here we go..

One of my girl's leaves are curling and look mishapen.. They are 6 days old and the rest of them look very healthy
They are all very green even the mishapen one.. The humidty is low in my tent around 15-25% and the temps range from 75-85. Just wanted to know if this was normal or if my girl has some kind of def. All comments are welcome!

Sorry man i cant help you much but your humidty should be between 50%-60%, yours is very low.

Well I live in a dry area and i have no idea how I would accomplish that. I've heard they really like low humidity during flowering though. As for veg, I really don't know what else to do other than buy a humidifier. Is it worth the money?

Anyone have any idea why the leaves are mishapen and curling different ways? The only thing I can think of is heat stress.
 
No more pics? I have a Jh going that's 6 weeks old today, 3 weeks into flowering, smells great
 
photo(16).jpgHere are the girls at 2 weeks old. They are looking pretty good. Just fed them for the first time with 1/4 stremgth Grow big and gave them a full watering with it. We will see how they like it.
Just a little update on the set up a bought a cool air humidifier that brings the humidity of my tent to 30% with lights on to 55% at lights off. I plan on Lsting as soon as the 5th node comes. Any vomments or advice are welcome!
 
Glad the humidifier helped...you may try reducing airflow a little to help raise RH but be careful with that AND the humidifier in conjunction...otherwise man they look great for your first time...you're getting ready to see an amazing explosion of growth now that they're being fed...

Your rig is also great for a first grow...looks like you keep it nice and tidy in there...try your best to keep temps under 85...may want to consider small clip-on fans at canopy level as plants grow...also important to be measuring temps at canopy level...:thumbs:

LST is gonna amaze you once the plant begins to flower...

First time class act :slap:

I am about to order a fan speed controller so im sure that will solve the humidity problem. As for the temps, they dropped to around 70 at night and 82 at most with the light on. I think it had something to do with the me putting the big pots in the tent, im thinking the soil absorbs the heat? Just my take.

I think i am going to put a little thermometer on on top of the soil to get a good read. Ive seen great things with LSt and i cant wait to see how my girls take to it!

Oh and i just transplanted them 3 days ago and they didnt seem to go through any shock so that was good. Thank you for your input!

The growth really is incredible, the new leaves make them grow exponentially.
 
photo(18).jpg1.jpgphoto(19).jpgJust a little update
They are on day 18 and i have done some LST to two of them. I am going to let the other one stretch a little more before it goes through LST.

Things are moving right along, feel free to comment or ask questions!
