What's up guys...


This is gonna be my first time growing Marijuana and I've read about how to grow lots, but there're some points I'm confuse about cuz I live in country that the weather gets over 100 degree and the humidity below 20%.

I decided to grow mine in tent and just bought all requirements, here what I have now:

80x80 cm (2.6'x2.6') grow tent

Espoma Potting mix for soil

Espoma Organic Start!

Ph down & Ph tester, because the ph on the water I'm using 7.5

Proper Substratum Potting soil and here is the product declaration (local product)

FoxFarm nutrient (I think, I made mistake here and I got the hydro not the soil


)

Roleadro 300w LED Grow Light Galaxyhydro Series Full Spectrum


My seeds are:

White Widow Auto Feminized

Blackberry Auto Feminized

Mama Mia Feminized


So, today I planted my seeds and I'm using peat pellets to germinate it, I set my light 14" above the greenhouse and the temperature inside about 77 and the humidity between 26% - 45%, sometimes around noon it gets too hot inside about 88 degree in the tent and I'm trying to maintenance the environment.

I don't know what potting soil I'm gonna use when I move my plants for the peat pellets to the pot because these the only 2 soil that we have in the stores.

I will use 6" pots in the beginning the I will transplant to bigger pots.

Please guys any advises for next stages (vegetative, flowering..etc), I don't want my plants die!

And I'd like to know when to use the nutrients and which one I should use first.

how to keep the humidity stable and the temperature.

what's the distances for he light in all stages

when should I transplant to bigger pot? I don' want to go too tall my tent's highest is about 5.25'


Thanks,

First use fox farm ocean forest soil you can order it on Amazon . Fox farm soil can feed the plants for it's first month and that makes it easier for you and you only have to do plain pH water . Using other soil could burn your plants and kill them buy slowly releasing nitrogen . So plz use fox farm soil because the soil is the foundation to a successful grow and a bad soil can kill them .
Second order a (cooling thermostat controller) what it does is turn on your cooling source wheneva your temp get to high. But you have to have something that cools the grow tent like maybe a intake fan venting to outside or def a air conditioner. Just plug in wateva cools the room to thermostat and when temps get high the thermostat turn the air conditioner on until temps get lower . Ways to use a air conditioner in a grow tent is get some 6inch flexible ducting and run it from air conditioner to grow room .for humidity/temp just get a temp/humidity monitor and after using your setup you will get a idea if you have high/low humidity levels and if humidity high then buy a dehumidifier and if humidity is low get a humidifier . But it's hard for me to say which one to buy and I don't know you environment.
Transplant plants from peat pellets when you start seeing roots growing out of peat pellets.and that means they ready for bigger grow space
And like I said using other soil could mean you have to start feeding at 2weeks but with fox farm soil you can start feeding after about a month . Far as a 300w light start with 32inchs above plants . Right now they don't need alot of light because the leaves can't take in alot of light because they to small so start with 32" and in a few weeks lower little by little.
Remember things you would need from Amazon

1. Fox farm ocean forest soil a must
2.cooling thermostat controller
3.humidifer/ dehumidifier

Stop buying into the whole designer soil BS!
espoma is actually a great choice because it is organic and it's designed for you to add biotone to it. Both are loaded with your micro beasties...and will NOT BURN YOUR PLANTS. You can add the starter plus to your soil right off the bat and your plants will thrive.
Espoma has amazing products and it won't break the bank.

My first grow I used some random organic soil perlite and Jones dry organic blood meal bone meal and vegitable mix with alfalfa meal and a few things just added up npk and used kelp as only trace mineral source I made some teas and sst when I learned some more but point being you can grow lots of different ways that first grow was pretty good I wouldn’t do it like that again but you can grow good plants with very little can get everything needed at Walmart and Home Depot pretty cheap

Nothing's wrong with local soils and adding alot of shit to make it work . But I wouldn't send a grower to Walmart to get a soil that I don't use myself . I have tried every soil you can think of and fox farm works for me so I recommend it to all new growers .I'm using blurpee coco coir from home Depot mixed with fox farm now. Its your choice But using auto flowering seeds my advice is pick the right soil .

The fact that you have to cut your soil at all shows its not good. Ff is too hot and I've seen grow after grow on this site have nute burn from that shit. Just because something comes from Walmart doesn't make it bad. And you have obviously never used Espoma or you wouldn't make that comment.
I used to buy into that designer bs...and that's fine if you want to...but I used it once and have never gone back because of the low npk and shit ton of bacteria and fungus that is in it.
Espoma is one of the reasons I can grow thesereceived_10154625819087263.jpeg

You can control your temps by running an 18/6 veg cycle with the lights off during the hottest part of the day. The lower temps will also help raise your humidity during what's probably going to be your driest part of the day.

If you're going organic, which I prefer, you need to know that you'll need pH up for whenever you feed. Liquid organic fertilizers are made with additives to lower the pH to extend their shelf life.

You have a lot of information to absorb.
I don't think your Roleadro 300w LED Grow Light Galaxyhydro is going to deliver very good results. The actual wattage drawn from that unit is 130W. You would need at least double that wattage from an LED unit to get good results. You probably can grow good quality buds with it just expect them to be small.

In the past i have used really simple "soil mixes" with some great results. Well composted mixes of manurers are cheap and plentiful, easy to determine what in them as you can visit the farms and have a see for yourself. If you take enough , usually people will pay YOU. :)

If you seen grow get nute burn from fox farm it's because inexperienced growers not taking advantage of fox farm soil and start feeding when all you have to do is water and as I told the person who posted this post if he use fox farm he don't have to worry about feeding the plants but other soil he will . Thats the mistake new growers make is over feeding he can use epsoma but for a new grower just plain pH water is more simple if you ask me . But you opinion is your opinion . And I've used epsoma and nature care and I had deficiency after deficiency and then I struggled with nute burn trying to feed . He can make his decision and use epsoma but grower auto flowering plants he gotta know what he doing and what the plants need
FYI In my main garden I use promix which is cheaper

The problem with fox farm is the custom won't allow it to go though because it's not available here and I have to order it online.
also, we only have these chooses for the soil around here. I tried to look for another organic soils here but I didn't find any good stuff.
So far, I managed the heat and humidity in the tent, the temperature between 68-82 and humidity around 46%. I will keep the a/c on in my room all the days this is what I think.
I feel dump now, because the light was 14" above the seed, 2 seeds popped when I checked today. Someone told me to keep it at 24" above the seeds, also they mentions this light will only be good for one plant to feed it well. And I'm going with 3 seeds now but I don't know if my tent will fit for this much plants.

I only found this product for espoma and their liquid (Start, Bloom & Grow)
the stores here don' sell their biotone. I uploaded images here of the soils.

The issue here, I won't be able to find something to do any mix soil. Not many farmers around here and I think no one has grow marijuana ever in my county cuz of the law.

My light cycle now it goes on at 4 PM and it goes off at 10 AM, I kind controlled the tent environment and the humidity.

Thanks,
Def don’t use hydro nutes in soil. Add perlite so it drains well and transplant as little as possible. LEDs can get mad close so start where you are and go up an inch a day. Check with back of hand to see if to hot You’ll see bleaching if it’s to hot. If you see seedlings getting y’all and thin then lower light 2 inches. Def don’t give nutes any sooner then 2-3 weeks. And never stop learning. Most important nute cal/mag and N-P-K. And never stop studying. Good luck brotha.

You suggest to change my lights since I’m growing 2-3 planets?

No. I'm just preparing you to expect small buds vs what you will see others grow. 130W of LED will grow nice buds but they will be small. Others on RIU may suggest changing it or adding more light. I'm just letting you know what to expect with 130 watts of LED.
