Hi my name is theo. I am first time grower, indoor/soil/clones. I Have a 3 week old chernobyl, 2 week old pineapple express and jack the ripper, 1 week old blue dream, and freshly rooted headband. Happy frog, ocean forest, AND special soil from county compost yard that was 58 dollars per square yard. Perlite, vermiculite, worm casting, bone meal, mychcorizae, Epsom salt, bat guano, fish emulsion, cal-mag and small amounts of slow release NPK fertilizer added to a blend of all 3 soils. Distilled water only. Four 2 foot 20 watt red and blue LED grow lights. One 4 foot 40 watt CFL. One 4 foot 40 watt high power full spectrum LED. Five 20 watt LED bulbs in reflectors. Two 20 watt CFL bulbs in reflectors. One 25 watt full spectrum LED standalone light.
///One 200 watt CFL bulb with no reflector, so it's not being used. And four 20 watt halogen bulbs, not being used, with no reflectors for them yet.///
Earth Juice Grow, catalyst, and bloom for nutrients. Superthrive for supplement. Organic compost tea. Starter Plus transplanting solution for re-pots. 3 foot wide, by 4 foot long, by 2 and a half feet tall grow space. 80 degrees, 60 percent humidity. Heating pad under pots. Aluminum foil reflection around whole grow space. 20/4 light schedule. Plants are put outside on sunny days(I live in eugene, oregon) also germinating 50 seeds at the moment collected from multiple Sonoma county growers. Have another 125 or so seeds in a container. Looking for any advice, suggestions, or ideas to make my babies thrive!

Looking good so far. I am assuming you are going to move those outside. They are going to be too tall for your space soon.

I vegged some of my girls outside last year to get that nice free light
Paid for that light in spider mites however
(Didn't read the fine print. Outdoors has predators to eat the pests)
Just something to keep an eye out for
Other pests as well

Actually in the process of building a 5 foot wide by 5 foot long by 7 foot tall grow box out of 2x4's, mylar, and aluminum foil in our guest room. But I plan on moving several outside for mega harvests but first I'm gonna clone clippings from each and make sure they root

Yeah I had a few minor issues already:/ but neem oil keeps them at bay
I've also upgraded my lights enormously so no need to go outside anymore!
