Indoor grow with outdoor exposure

[Outcastinc]

Hello all. I am brand new here. But this will be my fourth grow in my life and its been a few years since my last. My set up is in my spare bedroom. Theres a sliding glass door that gets around 8 hours of direct sunlight a day. In addition to that I have hanging 28" above is 1000w hps. No tent. Super budget and pieced together but nicely done none the less. I'm using a soil medium with perlite and moss. Water is 6.5 consistently. I only use suprthrive for flower and dark energy for bloom. I have a humidifier in the room and I can change the temp and humidity simply by opening ang closing the door. I have 6 plants in flower. 3 wedding cake and 3 wedding crashers. Started 12/12 at 30" tall. I bought them as teens. In the closet I have 6 seedling sprouted under 24 hours led in soil with only ph 6.5 water. Temp is usually around 75-78 during the day 68-70 at night with a relative humidity level of 40-50%. Any thoughts? Expected yield? How often should I have to water these ladies? Any advice or input from experienced growers would be appreciated. Thanks everybody

I mean it sounds good. I am by no means a experienced grower in that sense, but everything you have typed out seems on point. You could upgrade a few things here and there like a tent and what not, but keep it up and come harvest you should do pretty well.

Looks good. The way you described the room it sounds like it should be pretty easy to control the environment. Maybe just think of some way to get some reflective walls around that tent frame if you can.

Thanks spidey. I messed up I think and I didn't add perlite to my potting mix. It has a little in it already but not nearly as much as it should. I'm having an issue with the pots staying wet. Fingers crossed for a decent harvest. I've got everything mixed up for the next one though. Hopefully more successful.

Youre very welcome. Im not super familiar with peat moss, but i heard that its pretty hydrophobic, so you have to get it really wet to begin with and you shouldnt let it get super dry because trying to rewet it can be a problem. On the bright side unless you are deep into flowering right now, you can always repot them.

Yeah a few weeks already

Yeah a few weeks already

You can put holes all over your containers to speed up drying, and put more fan power on the medium.
To help drainage, use plant stakes in bamboo to jab holes top to bottom of medium...will not hurt as long as you stay away from main root ball.

Ok I'm going to get some sticks of some sort the width of my soil moisture tester? What do you think?

Drinking straw size or so in circumference..try to have a rounded end so as not to do any damage.

Ok I did that. I'm trying to keep the temperature a little high too 80 degrees to promote evaporation
