New grower just started

Hi new grower here. Just started with 7 clones. I have tons of questions and need input. Where is the best place to ask question and get some comments on my setup.

Welcome to RIU
Your questions are probably already answered here, this is a good place to start.

I suppose my questions mostly pertain to my setup specifically. I'll get some pics. Being my first time I basically want to make sure I'm not completely screwing it up.

When i got them they were tiny clones. So far a couple 400w lights, ocean fox farms soil and nutrients. When I got them they were in rock wool cubes. Once I saw roots i put them in the pots they are currently in. Planning on transplanting into 3gal pots soon

Oh also its indoors with fans moving air with a temp around 74 degrees. I have ac in my building. My plan is keep some in veg and to make more clones off of and then flower in a tent. That way I can seprate the different light cycles

Ilovegrowingmarijuana.com and leafly have both helped me out tremendously.

So while I wait on my tent I'll be using to flower to come in the mail....I figured I'd go ahead and build me a cloning area. Keep in mind I have experience with other plants but cannabis is a first. So this is what I have put together so far. I filled a couple cups with water, trying to run it a few days and see the fluctuations and how it responds. Right now it's at 77f and 86% humidity. No holes in it so far other than for the cfl bulb. All the cups are glued down. They are there to hold the actual cups, my hope is to keep them from tipping/spilling.

The roots on my smallest clone, I babied it(how ever that's spelled) and ended up with great roots. It's also the only one of that strain I have so I want to make it a mother. I was convinced it was going to die when I got it.....guess I did something right. From 1 gallon to 3. Once it gets bigger I'll start making cuttings.

Just not sure what my next move with the rest is going to be. I go on vacation on the 22nd of April. Should I move them all to 3 gallons. Scrog 4... ahhh idk what to do.....its not even a vaca more like a help the in laws for 5 days type trip. Any suggestions....I'm almost considering scroging 4 and leave the rest in veg. My tent that is suppose to come Wednesday is 36x36x63high. I'm just not sure exactly what I'm going to do yet. My biggest fear is letting them veg too long and getting too big. But, I think I can cut 3 down for clones scrog 4 till then. Once i get back flower... does this sound crazy

Ok so I think I have a plan. Put four 3 gal pots in the flowering tent and scrog them for the next 5ish weeks. If they get out if hand I'll take cuttings. The other 3 will stay in veg while also taking cuttings. I'm hoping this keeps everything from getting out of hand before I'm able to flower them. I may even flip them a day or two before I leave. I have an led and cfls on the veg plants and I'll use my nicer light on the one that's flowering. I also think I'm going to lower my net aswell

I suppose it's not too big a deal....you know with the pandemic and all

So here is where I'm at now. Just flipped to flower. I did have some nute issues... with the help from the great people on here I think I narrowed it down and I'm feeding them correctly now I hope. However I did notice some if the leaves tacoing. Could this have been from me not giving enough nutes? I'm now feeding them and hoping for the best. The tent ranges from 75ish to 85ish and humidity between 40 and 80(varys between waterings ect). I know those are broad numbers but thays where I'm at now and help or advice is appreciated

Also should I do this in the grow journal section?

My guess would be over fertilization. FFOF will feed the plants by itself for at least a few weeks. Try giving it plain water next time and see how it responds.

So here we are now. 4 plants 3rd week of flower grown on ffof with the ff trio temps around 75 to 85 around 60 percent humidity

Wanted to see why you guys thought

While I wait on my magnifier here are a few pics. What I dont understand is why are the pistles changing color. I assumed light burn but the top ones arent are still white....any thoughts. I'm about 24 days in with ffof a 400w hps with fox farms grow big and buds and bloom and tap water

How do you guys think these are looking I took a couple small samples off the sugar leaves

That plant has a ways to go. Also, don't check trichs on sugar leaves since they mature faster, check the buds.

I appreciate the help, I was unaware. By my guess based on the strain(what I was told the strain was) I was guessing a few more weeks at least

I'll try and get a pic of the buds
