Moving into a second bedroom in a few months so I'm going perpetual grow.

Thinking of getting a 600 watt in a 4x2x6 for a flower tent

Rock the 2x2 as a veg

Hey man looks great! Where you at on your nutes, just curious? I'm in deep over here. I started a couple few weeks before you I think. Its a little over whelming keeping it all together but looking forward to the outcome. Have you ordered a cheap microscope yet to take a peek at your trichs . Amazon has a cheap and a cheaper one depends on how fast you want one.

I realized that the blackjack doesn't do well when the PPM are over 600

Found out I was dealing with light stress, my LED's were 15'' away from the tallest cola, it had bad yellow tips. Should have done this earlier. Managed to zip tie my light to the frame of tent... Took out saucer and tied down the colas

Some few issues I'd like to note:

-height restrictions, pretty annoyed that I settled on a 4 foot tent because I ran into some issues last 2 weeks. I couldn't raise my led any higher, I tied down my colas that were damaged the most. Next run I'm keeping this as a veg tent and getting a bigger flower tent.

- need to upgrade exhaust fan, temps are settling at 84* F mostly. I'm using passive intakes since my tent is right next to a screen door.. Either investing in portable AC / or upgrade to intake fan

- foxtailing: due to light stress, heat stress my plant first started to show signs when the tops started to turn yellow due to light bleaching / led intensity. My two biggest colas have little yellow tips now and I see so many orange hairs and fox tailing.

I'm watching closely over my plant making sure not to fuck it up anymore.

8 weeks since flipping light

6 weeks since showing white pre flowers
