Ok this is a post for the noobs like myself of everything wrong I did on my first grow and my remedies for most.
Mistake 1 HEAT.... I have 2x2x4 mar hydro grow tent which is fine for my closet BUT.....MY TS1000 which has performed great for me still heats my tent up 90 degrees Fahrenheit with no ventilation..with ventilation 85
Fix 1.... actually accidentally figured out if I forget the height requirements and just life the light all the way up right next to the carbon filter will drop the degrees some second sacrificed some space and put a stand up fan in the tent and cranked it to full blast pointed toward the wall to keep from wind burn third I put a second fan on the outside of the tent directly on the intake port finally to 3 gallon pots wet from watering will drop the temp overall which ultimately got me from 90+ degrees to 81 low 84 high which is just about the best I can do till I get an ac unit
Mistake 2 fox farm nutes......I hate them every single time I use it even at lowered strength it burns my plants never again
Fix 2...technically I didn't really fix it I just switched to dr earth veg and bloom much better once the tinkering with the ratios is perfected
Mistake 3 THE LAST STRETCH...... this was my biggest problem which led to my next mistake I did topping but no lst no nothing so my og kush grew so tall it actually pushed my light up
Fix 3....no fix actually I wouldn't stop growing and my next mistake caused me to actually have to cut part of the bud off LST is real people
Mistake 4 my biggest mistake of the grow not realizing the heat at the buds was much higher than around the pot level which ultimately burned the hell out of my og for about a week till I figured it out the heat around the cola that was closest to light was around 92 to 95 degrees yikes
Fix 4 identify the problem honestly I rearranged the tent lifted the light all the way up and a fan or two and at least lowered it to about 83 to 85 I no I no work in progress
These were my mistakes hope it helps someone or provide laughter for the pros the were more mistakes like calcium deficiency and so on but these were my biggest here's photos from throughout and to date
