Ok guys, so before I ask for assistance I wanted to let you know what I am working with for my first grow.
TENT:
Secret Jardin DR120 (48” x 48” x 72”)
SEEDS:
(5) Bomb Seeds-THC Bomb (Feminized)
SOIL MIX:
Fox Farm Ocean Forest (2/3)
Fox Farm Light Warrior (1/3)
Lime (1 Tablespoon/gallon of soil)
NUTRIENTS:
Fox Farm Open Sesame (granular)
Fox Farm Beastie Bloomz (granular)
Fox Farm Cha Ching (granular)
Fox Farm Big Bloom (liquid)
Fox Farm Grow Big (liquid)
Fox Farm Tiger Bloom (liquid)
LIGHTING:
(2) iPower 600w MH bulbs (veg)
(2) iPower 600w HPS bulbs (flower)
(2) 6” Air Cooled Hoods for each bulb
(2) 600w dimmable digital electronic ballasts (50%, 75%, and 100% dim options)
24-hour timer
VENTILATION:
6” Vortex Exhaust Fan (450 CFM)
4” VENTS Inline fan (105 CFM)
iPower Carbon Filter (6” duct)
Oscillating tower fan
I am currently running both 600w MH bulbs, but at only 50%. As of yesterday, I had my plants around 18" from the bulbs. I decided to lower my lights and now they are at about 12" away. I left my hand under the lights for around a minute and barely felt any heat, probably because of the 50% dim.
I have watered twice so far, using around a gallon of water each time. (I don't think I am overwatering because this is spread out over 5 plants). For my first water I used about a third of what the FoxFarm feeding schedule says and for the second water I bumped it up to about a half of what it says.
My temperature has remained pretty constant at about 74 degrees fahrenheit and about 48% humidity. I think both of those numbers are pretty good.
I've attached picture of all five of my plants. The last one in the bunch is the only one I am concerned about. I tried getting a closer picture of that one so you guys could see what is going on. It almost looks like something has been eating at the leaves. Maybe I'm worrying too much! I think the other 4 look great, but I could be wrong. Oh and today will be day 6 of my grow! Any advice is welcome and thanks for looking !

My only tip would be to water enough for 20% run-off, then don't water again until it's completely dry. So more water, less often. Oh, and I wouldn't feed them nutes for a month. The soil is already rich.
