Thank you for having me and hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can put my mind at ease haha.


So here's a bit about the grow

2m x 2m x 2m tent

1x 4 inch inline fan exhausting

1x 4 inch inline fan inlet

2x internal fan on low settings

3x mars hydro ts1000 lights started on 25% as seedling now lights are on 50%

Plants since seed hatched are 30 days old

Strain is stardawg autos.

I was just watering with tap water until I realised the pH was 8! So for the past week it has gotten pH 6.5 water as I use biobizz pH down.

I also add 1ml per litre of biobizz fix mix as feed every water.

I am giving them approx 400ml of water every 3 days as the soil dries on the top only but always damp below.

Soil has lots of perlite in it.


Lights are on 20 hours off for 4 hours

Lights are 25 inches from the tip of the plants


I had some extremely tiny white bugs and a week ago I sprayed the tent and plants down with Dr schimmel spider mite killer and no bugs seen at all since.


So a rocky start


Problem I am having and I have no idea if its normal but the new growth looks twisted and very thin leaves. Also just looking for a bit of comfort or criticism on how they look.


There is 13 plants in there I know this is to many but I have 2 other tents identical and will be splitting them all up in a week or 2 but was saving on electric while they was small. All tents have 4 lights in as will this one soon.


I have ordered some pipe cleaners as the ties in using at the moment I have very lose as there not ideal

Thank you for your time

Looking good, I think... leaf color is a little dark, perhaps... if it were me I might dial back the N a tad. Is that plant starting to flower, tho in pics 5,6? Is that an auto?

Growth seems ok as all are pretty uniform in growth.
Your lighting will need to ramp up as grow moves thru later stages ( to properly light up that space ) - right now your panels overlap ( light footprint ) is ok for now.

Thanks buddy..the lights say they cover 3ft by 3ft so I spaced them 3 feet approx on the ground away. I have a 4th light im adding for that set up in a few days so it has 1 in each corner sort of thing. The other 2 tents have 4 lights in. They are mars hydro ts1000 and I've got them on 50% on the dimmer does that sound right? Also what do you think about the thin curly new growth.

I've jumped in the deep end haha

That size tent would need at least 1200watts ( actual ) . 1400 watts + would be getting about 38 watts a square foot. May want to consider that.

Yeah looks like that auto is starting to flower, that's all... N is nitrogen... I'd dial it back a bit...

I've never grown autos but it's probably fine. If you're using 1 ml/L of biobizz I'd cut it back to .75 or 0.5 for a couple weeks and keep an eye on the color.

It's all fine... I'd still cut the biobizz a tad for a couple weeks if it were me...

If it has gone into flower and the other haven't as its 2 of them that look like it are they still OK with 20 hours light 4 hours dark until they all hit flower

A little update
I added an extra extractor and filter. Added an inlet from another room. 3 more mars hydro 1000 led lights and correct pH water with zero nutrients. I have lst them a few hours before these photos again they are in flower by about a week maybe. As first time I have no idea but looking for opinions on how they are looking. Hopefully I have lst them correctly . I've just tried to make each bud site the same height and spread out for light to hit.
I have re sized the images in size to 1mb so they appear darker but the leaves aren't that dark in real . Just the compression has darkened them.
I ditched the string and got some pipe cleaners also haha
