My first grow

Growing Jah Herer Fem. (easier to grow jack herer) 5 days since planted in fox farm happy frog... currently running a 42 W cfl 18/6 at around 3-4 inchs, had it around 1-2, but i dont think she was liking it, so i moved it up a bit... planning on transplanting in about 2 weeks to a 3 gal smart pot... then doing some LSTing and starting flowering about a week after transplant, check her out

also was wondering if anyone can find me some cheap like 5 dollar blooming nut's that work decent something i can buy online, if so you would be awesome... and does anyone know how bad this bad boy is going to smell, really hope she isnt to bad... also if you got any advice for a first timer, i am all ears

You did the correct thing in moving the light away a bit, what are the temps in there?

Good luck with her

I had my T5 a little to close at first as well, better off leaving it a tad high at first.

As far as cheap nutes, I would suggest looking into some teas, https://www.rollitup.org/organics/510995-organic-feeding-101-a.html they can be made with household stuff, plant clippings etc, also banana tea is said to be great for flowering.
But a bottle of FloraNova or equivalent is around 25 bucks, and will last you for a few grows easily. If I was to guess, one bottle will last at least 10 2 plant grows...

As far as smell is concerned there are a few ways to take care of it, if you have an exhaust fan you can put a home made carbon filter on it. I use Ona, I have ona gel that I put about a tbsp in a dixie cup with water ever couple days inside my box, and I have an ona block outside the box. All I smell is ona when its closed up and I have 3 decent sized plants in flower.... They have scented ona as well, I am using unscented, however it has a scent. Kind of like walking into a room that was just cleaned.

Good luck..

PS: the fox farm soil is pretty nutrient rich so you should not have to use nutes for a couple weeks. I ended up burning mine early by introducing nutes a week after I transplanted into the 3gl.
Be sure you have a decent Ph meter as well, keep your water & nute solution around 6.5 and be sure to test the runoff and adjust when needed. Ideal Ph for soil is 6.5..

Thanks for the help,
not 100% sure what the temps are, growing in around a 5x5 walk in closet, when i am running the light i keep the door open 80% of the time besides when part of the time when i am sleeping, but usually wake up in the middle of the night to air it out a bit, whenever i go in there its not to hot, doubt it ever goes above 80-85F and if it does its only for about a hr- normally its the same temp as my room, which ranges from say 65-75 depending on the time of day

20 W yellow light (warm) CFL or 30 W bright white (its not a daylight) CFL for a additional flowering light.

Also, i added another 15 W warm CFL to my plant today at about 4 inches, only going to be running this one for about 8-10 hrs a day during the time i have my grow room door open, because i dont want it to get to hot in there...
