Hello Fam!!
In this grow I would definitely like advise, so feel free to post. This is my second grow ever and the first one was, just ok. I will try and keep things short but detailed so I don't lose y'all lol.

I am using

2 - Illusion OG clones
1 - 3 gallon plastic pot
1 - 3gallon Smart Pot
1 - 2'x4'x5' cool grows tent
1 - 600 watt Hybergrow Led light w/ IR & UV
1 - boxfan (turned around for exhaust)
pH up/down kit with reader
FFOF soil mixed with perlite
Homemade twine scrog screen 2-4"

I am about 1 week in and plants are roughly 1 1/2"

Water ph'd within 5.5-6.5
Temp roughly 72 day/65 night
RH fluctuating between 20-40

Looking good so far. Removed 3 damaged/suspicious leaves with sharp, sterile knife yesterday cuz I'm paranoid about mildew lol I will try to refrain though.

Working on getting FF nutes trio soon for future use.

Photos when rollitup is done glitching lol

Rh could be low.. watch that. Too low and you'll risk mites and other issues. You can add a bowl of water in the room to help bring it up, if need be. In the early stages, mold and higher RH is not a high risk.. unless its awfully high.

With 2 girls in there, and a plan to scrog.. you will be looking at longer veg times to fill it out and maximize your yield, plan on that if that is what you're going for. But you could choose, quality over quantity and keep those plants right under the light and smaller.. so the buds develop under optimal lighting.. versus going big and filling things out to get more at harvest time.

Using twine to make your scrog, can add fibers and hairs into your bud later.. consider that, and change to a poly-synthetic type of rope/string so that no shedding occurs. Plastic is obviously bad to have in your buds.. but you have a much lower risk, versus any type of strings that are "hairy" and might shed fibers deep into your nugs later. Also go for not super small holes in the screen, and also not too large either.. make sure you use the screen and keep tucking the plants all the way to 2 weeks into your flip. If you do this, rather than let things grow through it early on.. you'll have a nice even canopy, and better overall experience with scrogging.

Keep water temp levels as close to 68f that you can, to water with. That temp level helps the plants take it in better, and too hot or too cold can cause slower growth or worse issues.. its not too sensitive, but if you can keep it close to 68f the plants will love it.

FFOF will take your plants all the way to flip without the need for nutes, in almost every case.. however, using 3gal. and having all that space to fill.. you may need to start sooner if you veg longer than 4 weeks.

Try not to train an early clone, to soon.. let them have a week at least to get rooted, and 2 weeks is awfully nice before you start giving her a trim.

Look up how to make cheap source of Co2. Like an ethanol bottle, or straw (hay) and mushroom spores.. white vinegar and Baking Soda.. any of those added in properly.. even at small Co2 ppm levels, will help your growth and overall grow. It will cost you less than 10$ in almost every case, if you make it.. and it will be so beneficial for your plants. Just research it a little.. you either want to draw the Co2 into the canopy (if you keep venting/exhausting) or let if fall down on your plants if the air is only circulating inside.

Good luck! Cant wait to see some pics.

Thanks Marine! I really appreciate the advise! I will consider all of that as I move forward. Just put a bowl of water on my snakes heating mat to add some humidity. I think I will take off the screen for now.. I didn't think about the roots still trying to grow!! :O plus there are totally fibers everywhere lol..
Also, I will look into some co2 techniques today sometime.
Thanks again buddy!
Hope to hear from ya more.

P.S.
Site still won't let me upload pics...
Get some soon tho.

SEMPER FI !!!
