so I figured id show everyone my grow. however I'm already at flowering so ill have to catch you guys up a bit. I'm pretty new and this is only my 2nd full grow from seed to flower so by all means id love to hear some advice if people see anything I could do differently. I prefer seed as I love the even nodes at the beginning. I vegged them til they got to 20 inches tall and then flipped to flower. right now they are on day 6 of flower (counting from first signs of bud).
I will be uploading pictures from where I started to where I am now then try to continue a weekly journal. for now ill get all the set up and nutes out for stats.

room setup
lights:
2- roleadro 400 watt equivalent(192 true watts) models
1- Apollo 400 watt hps
2- 40 watt led lights for back corners
2- 80 watt total cfl cluster for front corners ( determining which added lights I like best)
media and pots:
- pro hp mix with canna coco at a 2:1 ratio respectively
- grow stones and hydroton added in for structure and aeration
- 7 gallon tall pots
environment control:
2- oscillating fans (temps run 70 with lights off and 85 -90 with lights on)
1- small table fan blowing on hps to keep cool
1- exhale co2 bag (might add a second?)
1- dehumidifier (humidity is set at 35-40%)

nutes:
GH organic nute line with additives. will post as attachment.

here is the current nute schedule I run. I now run a product called buried treasure it's basically budswell and fulpower mixed together instead of the two seperate. also have rhizoflora I add to it too.

Fed them some tea I brewed up with just root innoculant, molasses, gh nectar, soluble rock phosphate, alfalfa meal, worm castings and some gh biomarine. Bubbled it for around 20 hrs. I know a lil shy of the full 24 but didn't have time later to water them. Push a salt clear few days later with gh florakleen. And as of yesterday back on full nutes schedule! I love the pro hps mix with added coco coir and added perlite. It really allows you to over water but not worry about drowning your roots. My girls droop for about 20 mins after a water and then are back pointing straight up!

Lol proof is in the pudding. 400 true led watts and 400 hps watts :) The light spectrum on the roleadro is close to the cree lights. I also have heard the theory mixing hps with led has its benefits and could grow more potent bud. Once again guess I can personally find out in 5 more weeks :)

So here's my personal spin on tea for blooming. Works for me with the resources I have for now :)
I start with bubbling 10 gallons of water.
Dissolve 2 tbsp of molasses in water.
Then I make 2 tea bags each containing:
1 cup worm castings
1 cup soft rock phosphate
1 cup alfalfa meal
1 tbsp of silica (states on bag to add to water mix first before Chem nutes so just made sense to add into tea)
1 tbsp of roots organic complete soluble root innoculant
Tie them up and dangle them.
Then I add my liquids to the tea:
25 ml of gh biomarine
25 ml of flora nectar
25 ml of gh biobud
100 ml seaweed
1 ml of super thrive
Stir and let bubble for 24 hours before feeding. I like to squeeze all the liquid out of the tea bag and get all dem good juices out. The aroma is always my fav... lmao not!

Few pics sitting at the start of week 4 today. Tmw i plan to feed it tea and full nutes schedule. They def the most I've ever fed a plant but they just seem to continue to suck the juices up with no burn.
