Aloha from Hawaii everyone!
This is my first indoor grow from start to finish, I normally veg indoor and rotate to outdoor for flower but I’m testing my luck on a full indoor op .
For lights I’m using 2 electric sky led’s (Electric sky180’s) for 360 watts of power I’m running the lights off a generator so it’s totally off grid , I’m using ace potting soil as a beast for my soil mix, I then mix it with half peat moss, perlite then I add a little earth worm castings and bone meal and a few others things.
And for nutrients I’m using fox farm grow big , open sesame, tiger bloom , beastie blooms and a few others , also cal mag (earth juice cal mag) and some mammoth P , my grow area is 5ft x 3ft , (working on building an 8ft x 8ft)
the lighting costs me 300$ per month to run using a 1200watt gasoline powered generator
The strains I’m running this time are 4 pineapple OG , 2 evil banana seedlings , 2 Frookies bx1 and 1 large unknown cut I got from a buddy

Consider a pair of solar panels. Alaska here and generators only until you can buy solar panels or it's wintertime. Sounds good. Post pics.
 
25C3175E-4D48-4045-A162-F7875B4CC776.jpeg This pic was taken Wednesday , they were a little rough looking yesterday / today because I had an ant problem In my soil but washed all the roots of the plants and now they are in fresh soil , pineapple og got it the worst but hopefully she’ll pull through in 2 weeks.
I know I still have a lot to learn about growing indoors so any help , tips and advice are greatly appreciated!! , I also think They are getting wind burned/whipped from the fans..
 
I like Fabric pots for indoor grows. Results are better for me. Something to consider.
I just bounce my fan off the wall, never direct.
These are my girls @ 53 days in fabric pots. Soon to be done.:weed:

I have a 7 and a 10 gallon smart pot I’m going to use for 2 of the other plants and will see how that goes , my room gets a little hot I have 3 fans running and one is an oscillating fan that is Like a foot or 2 away from the plants probably should move it back
 
Big pot, big grow. ;) I run 3 gal pots due to space limitations.
Hear you on the heat issue. We live Hawaii, ha
I don't run AC. Just a single fan. So, my area can hit 90. But, my grows are good. Better during the Winter months.

Mine is a steady 80-83 day time with 3 fans and 58-60 night time no fans, I run a 16/8 day/night cycle
 
Update , each pic is one side of the room ,
The picture of the big one is an unknown cut I got from a buddy and the second picture is of 3 pineapple og clones, 2 evil banana seedlings and a Small Frookies bx1 seedling ..(can’t forget about the small nightmare og clone peaking its head out of the bottom right side) , fixed the ant infestation with diatomaceous earth . , still spraying green cleaner 1-2 times a week as part of my IPM system and will add doctor zymes and neem oil to my weekly IPM

I think about 2 weeks maybe 3 and I’ll be able to get a couple cuts off my two phenos of evil banana and a few pineapple og cuts and then I will flip my light schedule to 12/12 from 16/8 .... I’m mostly waiting on the two evil bananas to be big enough to give 2 cuts each before I flip

Every plant in every grow is a learning experience for us. I had never diagnosed leaf septoria in a plant until I couldn't figure out why it looked calcium deficient. A professional grower here clued me in. Live, grow and learn. Fucked up the yield on this one plant
 
@hotrodharley
I pulled out and tested my Amwatt appliance load tester and here are my results:
Running Two “180 watt electric sky leds” run around 405-415watts constant .
Running One solo “180 watt electric sky led” runs around 203-210 watts constant
