New grower - Advice

Hey Guys,
Figured Id make my first grow post. I am currently growing an feminized strain, Amensia. I have been pruning the bottom and training to SCROG this first grow of mine. Had a few setbacks in the beginning with humidty. These plants HATE low humidty. Just switched to a flowering cycle as these are getting over knee height.


Here are my growing conditions:




Any tips would be very awesome!

Current hardware:
1 5x5ft grow tent
1 HLG 300L Rspec 270w
1 Spider Farmer Newest SF-2000 LED Grow Light
x2 Inkbird ITC-308 Temperature Controller with IHC-200 Humidity Controller -Automation
x1 AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S6, Quiet 6” Inline Duct Fan with Speed Controller
x1 TerraBloom Air Carbon Filter, 6" x 16", Activated Charcoal Scrubber for Inline Duct Fans
x1 Pulse grow Monitor
I use a makeshift ultrasonic "pond mister" with a CPU fan and a 5 gallon paint bucket for the humidty

My post got lost! Any advice would be very appreciated!

First pic looks healthy, the other do not. Are you phing your feed?

Anytime I’ve ever had twisting leaves like that my ph was out of whack.

With 2 plants in a 5x5 you probably want to go longer in veg, keep tucking the new growth under the net Until it’s 2/3 full then flip. If you only just flipped them then I’d go back to 18/6 and fill the net and tent. If you want to max out the tent your going to need more light. At least 30 watt plus per sq foot.

I appreciate the input. The 3rd picture is just from starting the SCROG . Those leafs were covered by larger leaves before I started bending. But soil pH is between 6 and 6.5.

Ah thankyou for that information. I flipped the flower cycle 2 weeks ago and started the tucking about the same time, I def want to max out the tent. I will def look at another light. Is it too late to flip the light cycle back until 2/3 full?

I’ve never done it. You might get some funky leaf growth for a while but you should be ok.

Great thanks! I will flip it back and continue the bending and growing out the leafs. I will also look at getting a smaller HLG or SF light.
