This is my first post and attempt at a grow ever. I am loooking for feedback , any is welcome.
Please keep the language respectable.
I started with 2 big bang, feminized seeds and grew 2 mothers, wich I cloned to 14 plants. I expect to loose 2-4 clones as I am a noobie and didn't exactly know what I was doing.
I have 2 90 watt UFO LED's and some 45 watt CFL's for suplimental lighting. I keep my Led's and Cfl's very close to the plants, about 1-2 inches away, and as you will see in the pics the plants under the LED's are flourishing! They grow about 1 inch a day.
My nutes are Advanced Nutes at 260 ppm, should it be higher???, with PH at 6.5. I have a fogger and top feeder and air stone. Here are some pics...sorry about the color.

Any advice is welcome...thank you!!

The bigger plant is of the mother I got the babies from.....I hope they turn out like her!!

Humidity is 44% and temps 88-90 F', is this acceptable? I spray once a week with spray and grow.
My Led's are from sunlight Sheds, anyone else have a Caddy from them?​

SCROG. To have an even canopy with many tops not just a couple. I LSTd and Topped and now Im Scrogging. I try to keep my temps near 80 tops.

For a long time I always preferred soil over hydro(smokin) but this is first grow so soil is more forgiving and hopefully tastier.

Low Stress Training. You start at young age and tie top down so more shoots , bud sites , come from the side otherwise weed grows so tall so fast that you dont get light to all the buds. Look up LST and SCROG on search and check it out . For LEDS and CFLs I think it will work the best. Ive always read that a lower canopy will produce more even colas.

Yup, everything..ozone , carbon filter, fans, etc, etc...no exhaust though, I am in my den so I have no place to exhaust....smell could be an isue, but i do have the ozone, carbon, and this smelly stuff called ona....its like gell that smells like fresh linnen...supposed to work well. we will see when they start to smell....who knows my first grow could also be my last if its to smelly.?

Your doing hydro thats advanced. Lst is easy and you cant beat the scrog. Use the search feature , advanced ,titles only and you can find anything you want. Youll be good , after all its just a weed.

Just pull your exhaust through your carbon filter and out into the den at least for heat disapation. You problably will have a hard time with smell.
