Thank you. I can't wait for the second run. I've been playing catch up this whole time and still am.
I never thought I would do this again but a very frosty bag (not mine) crossed my path and there were 5 seeds in the bottom of it, so about 5 months ago I said why the hell not and 4 came up.
$2000 later and here I am with a ton of work yet to do to get this going well.
Ok I will provide you with something constructive. Not sure if there is much you can do with this batch so it would be best for you to properly plan your next run.
First off, prep your grow area properly. Clean it getting every speck of dirt out of there and bleach the thing down. Then get some tarps to cover up the floors and something to go on those walls. You have a prime breeding climate for mold so you need to prevent that. Get proper airflow. Even moving lots of air above the lights will result in a huge improvement.
Second, plan out your space allocating enough area for each plant. You will need to balance it out between the number of plants, the method of grow (eg. sXog) and your space, but most importantly what you feel comfortable with. Draw up a map and use post-it notes if visualization helps you figure it out. Factor in access that you will need to get to the plants. Then stick to the map keeping the plants within the allocation space using training and pruning.
Third, get your growing containers and medium right. You probably have drainage issues if the buckets are sitting on the floor. There are many ways you can do this, find one that works for you and stop overwatering.
Fourth, set up a schedule for feeding and watering. Ban yourself from entering the room outside of those scheduled visits. Until you learn to listen to your plants anything you do will harm them and the temptation is too much when you are in the room. So stay out. Get something else to keep you busy, another hobby such as pointing out stupid stuff from people on internet forums for example.
and always, read up and learn new things like how to set up your lights properly, (or this nasty called for jab) understand the light spectrums.
