First grow, advice welcomed!

Hey all, been reading a ton off this site and thought at week 2 of my first grow that it's time to join the party..lots of great info on here and I'm thankful to you all! Been growing outside for years and living in a state where half the year is covered in snow, I thot it's time to take my garden to the attic.

Set up:
Starting--
Running a 4x4 room for cuttings/seeds with 2 4 bulb T5's.
Veg--
Running a 6.5x6.5x6.5 tent w a 1k MH (air cooled)
Flower--
Same thing as veg but hps.
All rooms are fresh air fed with 6" 250cfm fans in/out.

First round will be Barney's skunk#1, jack, and an 8 ball kush. In the "dome" about to pop up is some g13 labs blueberry gum, blue og, skywalker kush, and humbolts lemon kush headband. More in the chamber for round 3...(midnight kush, white widow, aroma) anyways, thanks for looking and as always advice is more than welcome!! Here's a day 10 (from sprout) pic of the skunk

Welcome to RIU, let the fun begin. Plants look great. You started out right by reading and studying. You seem to have a good grasp because of the bulb usage. What kind of soil?

Thanks, I try to live by the old saying "fail to prepare, prepare to fail" haha. I use "mass whole" products. They have 3 different strengths for all 3 phases which can be mixed for the desired strength. Plants seem to be loving it in their first weeks of life..

Welcome...sounds like your setup is going to be badass!

What medium are you growing in?

I love that quote. I haven't heard of that soil, thats not saying anything but at least its not MG

Barney's has top quality seeds that is a big part of it and your Seedling look very healthy, just watch overwatering

Super soil by "mass whole", great simplicity to the compound and very easily mixed for desired strength. They have 3 different mixes. "Seedling", "potting" and "super". I live in maine and it's been proven for hire up here.

Okay thanks, do they look over watered now? Trying to wait until soil feels somewhat dry about 1.5 inches in...yay nay?

Not at all. Look perfect.

What are some good veg nutes you guys use? And how early do you start feeding? I gave them their first light feed of sensi grow (a/b) yesterday, along with a touch of bio root (final pH of 6.3). I plan to feed every other watering? Or should they still be on just h2o? Sorry for the dozen questions

I like using the FAB four pack, root mass expender. Than the Jacks classic 20-20-20. For veg I start them One week outside the cloner

If you keep it light it's probably ok to start now. I'm getting my first grow with nutes and ph under my belt. I burned my girls at first feeding too early and too strong. Most people say wait to feed until 3rd set of leaves and start at 25% strength of the instructions.

Thanks to you both. I think il stay on the path I'm currently traveling until I see reason to change..for now they are happy and healthy little girls, thanks a lot for the input guys.

Alright guys, running into my first problem. Struggling to keep my humidity up in my clone room. Lights on I've been around 78F and 58% RH. I have a small humidifier running in there, any other ideas? Maybe increase air flow where possible? Thanks in advance. Happy growing!!

Should have noted those numbers come from directly under the light (hydrometer is in pot w plant)

Are you sure 58% is going to be a problem?

Hey man, do you have any thoughts on my humidity situation? Thanks!

Haha, touché. No, I guess I'm not!! The only reason for my concern is all the literature I've read says ideal would be 70-80% for the clone room and 50-80 for the veg..what's your experience w this? Good air flow equals more flexibility with this maybe..?

Two days after the first feed, I think they enjoyed it..
