@Obie_R3AP3R, Thank you for your advice! I did transplant from the clear cups into 3 gallon smart pots last night. I’ll be checking them this evening to see how they’re doing. As for the side lights they were a gift from my dad. He claims he grew a 5 footer under them, but it mysteriously died....I figure anything will help my little 150w Mars Hydro at this point. I’m thinking about buying an HLG 550 Rspec in a few weeks. And getting rid of the blurples. I haven’t had any climate issues, other than it being a little cooler than I’d like at night time. It gets down to 62F when the box is open and I’m working in there. 70-72F right when I open it and humidity is around 50-52%. I run an AC Infinity 4” with digital controller and carbon filter for exhaust. And I just added a 4” inline booster for intake as well, even though I don’t think I need it. Thanks again for your advice! And thanks for checking out my grow!

@@InstantT33, 5ft maybe but :100: had issues in flower but it’s your dad you will know what I mean if you try to grow with them but you main light could get a bit off a plant but you should invest in a hps light set up you won’t find a light that gives better yields in any watt of led and I’ve spent 1000’s on led chasing that dream of low cost growing. It simply is easier to just accept the 60-100$ in hydro and use the right tried and proven hps/my equipment set ups. This would depend on your grow also as you wouldn’t want that in a 2x2x6 area it’s too much heat for instance. Any help I can be hit me up if don’t what your doing and in different ways if you have a prob over likly had it

If you would like to dense up your loose buds more you can buy leather or cut up a old jacket and lightly roll the buds in the leather piece around day 2-3 of drying if at 50%rh and it will push all the leave straight out inward and allow you to create very nicely formed buds and also will lock in the flavour of the weed and allow the bud to use the spare leaves still attached with tricombs to acually make the bud better not worse. :) works trust me and love the nail polish black is prob best colour :beers:

Watch the water you have led lights and low wattage too boot which is somewhat ok but take that aside you need to have dryness in your soil for oxygen to move around. You will get weird looking plants because only some roots can breath letting the plants grow on different sides of the plant more then others and into leaves causing weird twisted growth and eventually death. Also you need to change your cups your gonna get stress herms and it can happen as early at two week even in veg which is weird but that the amount of stress those clear cups can cause if your not proactive about it. All tips that are :100: and I know what it’s like starting out growing with low wattage lights and such but there is a way to succeed this way but you have to know how and keeping your soil not soaked is the first step along and the second is climate control if you have those you will only battle with your light instensity and you can always add a new light in close to flower if it’s not 300w of mh/hps or 800w of proper led combinations (appear white or yellow overall). The ones that are hyper purple from China do not have the right light to grow more then 1/2-1oz even at what they claim is 1000-2000w lights the plants don’t react to it like other lights and quality led set ups. I only say this because I seen the lights you have as vertical lights which also don’t help that much since they’re 80w-120w and often don’t match the proper spectrum requirements to cause proper flower growth so I would say you would be better off taking cfl bulbs and hangin them down in between the plants or corners of the tent as even a 30w cfl curly bulb would cause better reactions and growth then that and yes I’ve used the same light you had years ago from wish for fun when expanding my grow set up
