Sour OG Cheese. My first grow

This is my first grow and I'm trying to do it right. Right now I've purchased. Sour OG Cheese by Ethos, got them at Seed Cellar in Jackson. I have also have purchased but not setup yet hopefully this weekend. A Super Closet grow room. I went with the 5x5 gorilla tent, phresh filter/fan, 6 pot rdwc, Botanicare Pure Blend Pro I'm planning on following the chart in picture, Kind k5 wifi 1000watt. Right now I dropped beans in about 40 hours ago in my Aerogarden Bounty beans are cracked already and tap root. I do have some concern with lighting during flowering, I'm open to opinions and options.
Thank you for following my grow.View attachment 4466621

Looks like a really solid setup for your first grow. What’s your concerns?

Just that I might not maximizing the yield. It's not a upfront concern but I definitely dont want to short the plants the light they need to make the best buds. Also someone said it wasnt enough and it's been on my mind for the last day.

Also thanks for the response any and all are welcome. I'm sure I'm going need the communities help once I'm into it.

If you want to maximize yield I recommend doing different types of training like LST and SCROG during veg. A lot of people would probably recommend an 600-1000w hps to really maximize yield but I actually went from using a 1000w HPS to 2 LEDs which are equivalent to 640 true watts which is similar to your Kind LED and have not noticed any significant decrease in quality of bud, slightly less yield but better on the electric bill lol. Yield is also strain dependent, as long as your light covers your 5x5, you do some training and allow your plants to veg for a good amount of time, you should be just fine!

Thank you. Yes I hope to do a topping or two, then the system has two trellises the recommended LST through bottom trellis and top trellis is for bud support. Being first grow I was going to just follow that plan, do you have any thoughts on the two trellises?

Yes that sounds like a great plan I recommend you at least top once. I know I said it already but you have a solid set up man I think you should follow the recommendation and train with the bottom trellis, use the top for bud support. Later on you might want to consider defoliating or whats called lollipopping if you’re familiar with that before flower, it will redirect the growth hormones to the top bud sites. For now though I think you got it kinda figured out

This day 5 since seeds went directly into grow anything pod for Aerogarden. No germination just dropped in and used distilled water until cracked then followed Botanicare chart. All look good, one was inverted and inhad to flip so taproot went down but been recovering really well. Going to give it 5 to 7 more days before moving to final location to veg and flowers.

Finally got everything set up and running. Whole setup is. Kind K5 1000 watt wifi, 6 site bubble flow 5 gallon buckets, reservoir and top off reservoir, dont need water chiller yet will add when I do. CO2 injected and closed system, phresh carbon air filter, humidity and temperature controllers and humidifier and heater to keep temps, will need dehumidifier once they get a little bigger and maybe AC when summer hits, 2 fans circulating air, guardian controller for Water

amazing what a few days can do with plants

topped the ladies today

How are they going. I love my ethos sour OG cheese. Hope you got a good carbon filter. Last years grow alerted my neighbors attention 2 houses away
