Can I get some feedback please?

Hello yall! This is my first grow ever and I was wondering if yall wouldnt mind giving me some feed back on what you guys think so far..the pic with the single plant flowering is the one and only auto I ran (out of curiosity) and the rest are all photo. The strains are Cherry Pie, Bubba Kush, Grapefruit Krush, Lemon Bubble, and Bubble Gum. I expect there to be some issues to be spotted but for my first grow, im not terribly dissapointed. These girls are also a week and a few days into flower. Thanks for any feedback I get from yall!

The first thing i notice is you could do better on canopy control
You have a lot of unused space which means your yields could be quite higher next time

do you mean using trellis netting next time or do more topping?

Keep the floor of that tent cleaner. Grab a broom or shop vac for the soil and spills.

Is there a fan in the tent?

Always clean as you go. Don't let dirt & leaves stay on the floor like that.

As Herb said, canopy control is key to a better yield & better use of the light as well. Put the shorter plants on some sort of "booster seat" like a box or something, so that all the plants' tops are same distance from the light.

Forget the trellis for now, your plants are too varying in size and flower to deal with them stuck in a net.

Very nice looking plants, great job so far!

Good Call on that, I definitely could do a better job with the floor haha. Yeah I have a cylindrical fan facing the right wall of the corner in the front right and the plants seem to do fine with just that. I plan to upgrade the air situation after this harvest.

It's not too late to train the branches back to open them up. You can pull the branches outward, and anchor the branch with a string attached to the pot somehow. I use paper clips usually on fabric pots. Stabbing the end through the pot creates a nice little metal hoop to use once you pull it through. You will get more light down to those lower bud sites.

what would you have done differently in regards to canopy control?

What type of light?

im using LED.

Watts and distance? I gotta hop off but these guys got you.

3k and its about 14 inches or so from the top of my tallest plant. I have it on two small yo yo's that are up as far as they can go. im figuring im going to have to switch to using just some small rope to hang the light so i can get the extra few inches it will give me.

What's the brand & model of the light?

Snip and tie down till i have a lush canopy as even as possible
What you have several different phenos and strains which can be a mess
You did ok you just wont get big yields
A net performs best on a single strain previously run
I prefer a single plant
Most nets you see they call scrog are just plant supports
As it stands right now putting the pots on objects that evens out your tops is about all you can do

It sounds like we have similar mind sets when it comes to how we want our plants, so I will keep that in mind from now on. I just finished propping up everything that needed up on pot and it definitely makes more sense in there now haha. not sure why I didnt think to do that. I appreciate the info.

Good idea with the paper clips ...I never thought of that ...learn something new everyday.
Grow looks good ...great for a 1zt time run all the ladies look happy no signs of a deficiency or burn..
You doing good work . Now if your trying to interest yeild you'd want to get a scrog net on em like other people said ...you already had the right idea with the LST ...the scrog will just get the nice even canopy better light penetration which will get you a better yeild ....what temps you running and humidity
That'll effect your yeild as well as your going medium your running soil n pearlite you thought about a 50/50 coco pearlite mix for the next run ?

Thanks for the tips.
No scrog needed though. I took those branches to the gym daily.


This is an old grow that I'll never get tired of seeing. She's been chopped & up in smoke a couple of years ago.

i attempted to open the canopy's up a bit but i end up snapping branches and end up having to wait for the plants to heal so ive just avoided trying it on these plants because im kind of ready to get the first harvest out of the way so i can get to working out the kinks im going to have fry drying and curing seeings how that will also be a first for me. I expect most of my issues to arrive in that time.
