First time grow

[LissaLou]

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my newbies. How is it looking? Still nervous about these young ones. I appreciate any and all advice given. This website has been a wonderful life saver and a wealth of knowledge, thank you!

Right fine setup you have going on. I have a suggestion to plan on accessing your tent from the 36" side instead of the 24" side. You are going to grow massive plants that will be easier to handle from the bigger door.

Thank you! Actually that is the front access. I have a removable partition on the 12” end which I used to germinate. Not sure if I should take it out once I transplant into smart pots.

Nice start. May I suggest that you label the cups with marker or tape. Those push in the soil label stakes tend to take a walk at the worst time.

Thanks, good advice!

It’s so true!!! I had them in my outdoor pots last year - the dog was trying to get at them to chew on them and my son thought he was doing a good thing by just removing them all to save the dog wrecking them…. Now it is mystery pot 😜

I also am a fan of your tent. My first was a perpetual harvest/split chamber like yours. T5's for sprouts and early veg in the 1'x2' side. Late veg and flower in the 2'x2' with an LED. I soon realized I can sprout and early veg with the T5's pretty much anywhere. The picture only shows two but it wound up being three in the tent. If I time it right, I can do the earlies in the sun. The tent opens to 2'x3' when I can.

Keep up with trimming tutorials from the GWE website.

re they auto, fem, or photo?

[LissaLou]

Feminized auto, your feedback is great. Will be reading trim tutorials for sure!

[Gingerbeard]

If you have autos, make sure you look at information just for autos. They need much less work.

ContinuedThanks😊

Great setup. My only constructive comment is they look a little dry (I can’t see them but I assume you have a few holes in the bottom of your cups as well). Other than that looking top shelf!

[LissaLou]

Thanks, I watered after taking pics, oops and yes the cups loaded with holes ✂️👍🏻
