New Grower First Time

Blog entry Discussion
So here I go and time will tell.
I bought a AC Infinity 4x2x72 tent kit with Next-gen EC inline fan 4”, EC circulator clip fan 6” and 200W full-spectrum grow light with Samsung LM301B LEDs. I start with 3gal fabric pots using Fox Farm Ocean Forest mixed with perlite at 75/25%. In that I put a peat pod to start my germinated seed. I have my light set to 40% and 18" from canopy. I will be using the Fox Farm Trio during my grow. So this is what I have the first week.

So day 23 I started LST and clipped the leaves that were touching the ground. I also started adding nutes to my water. Fox Farm Big Bloom 5tsp to 2gals of water. Made sure my pH was 6.5 split the 2gals between the 3 plants.

Here we are all day 26 I'm watering around every 3 days. I'm going to add the Big Bloom 6tsp to 2gals and feed every other watering. Making sure to adjust the pH to 6.5. As you can see they took the LST well and are still doing good. If you look close they have started to flower. So I'll be adding Fox Farm Grow Big at 1tsp with the Big Bloom into 2gals. I will do the nutes every other watering. Now I have the light at 100% 18" from the plants

Ok now day 35 watering and feeding are the same but I'm having problems with heat and humidity. 88 degrees and 84% humidity..... So I did defoliation added another fan and a dehumidifier. So far it is helping I hope it doesn't cause problems! The plants are stretching and doing good there are between 24" to 26" tall now. From what the description on the seeds say they should be ready in 60 to 70 days. So there is still plenty time left.

Hey bud looking good! Just a suggestion i would stop using grow big since its in the flowering stage. Your going to get nitrogen toxicity. See how dark green your leaves are? They have an over abundance of nitrogen already. Which will slow your flowering process down and your trichome production. I had the same thing happen on my first grow. Keep growing man good job!

THANKS
I was using it because I was following the Fox Farm feeding chart. I thought it needed everything to keep the nutes in balance.

Yea just a thought i came up with but its a way for them to sell more grow big because a lot of people grow in living soil which feeds the plants for first 4 weeks give or take so less grow big is being used. Thats their way of evening out the usage. I could be completely wrong. Lol but i do know N toxicity is very possible it has happened to me and hasnt happened since i stopped using grow big throughout flower.

I think you have something there I've been following the chart because I don't know any better! That's why I'm here looking for all the advice I can get....
