Hey @Cap Stone & @Cam Z what’s your plant background?
Are you home or commercial? What set ups do you have?
What’s your nutrient schedule?
Do you grow auto, photos or both? I follow you both and recognize the knowledge.
just being nosey🤷🏽♀️ thanks 🌻

I experimented with growing when I was in my 20's but never got anything to flower. When LED lights came on the market I got interested again and bought a small tent and light in early 2018 and started growing in the garage. I started with Autos but now I grow mainly Photo Periods mostly because I learned about the power of cloning ... it's like free weed! The plant that keeps on giving! 😍
After two grows in the garage I had a good idea what I was doing and then moved into the house. I now grow in a closed off furnace/storage room which was perfect once I removed the storage and bleached everything ... I probably have the cleanest furnace and water heater in town lol.
I now have a Veg tent, Bloom tent and a Dry box all vented together and using the same inline fan and carbon filter. I think I'm pushing the limits here but so far so good. I also have a small 2x2 clone/seedling station tucked in one corner. A dehumidifier keeps things in the lung room just right and I have it draining into a floor drain so I never have to worry about emptying it.
I really hate trimming, it kills my back, so instead of flowering a bunch of plants all at the same time I have things set up so one plant is ready to harvest every 2-4 weeks. The down side of this is it's hard to find a time to give the tents a really good cleaning.
In the Bloom tent (39x39x78) I have a SF-1000 and a 600w Aglex COB light. The Veg tent (32x32x63) has a knock off of a SF-1000 and the Cloning station has a cheap Bloom Plus BP-1000. I would like better lights but I'm doing ok with what I have for now.
I grow in potting soil with nothing extra in it and then I add a lot of perlite. For the nutrients I try to keep it as simple as possible. For Veg I feed CalMag and GH FloraNova Grow and in Flower I feed GH FloraNova Bloom and a PK booster called GigaBoost. I also use a PH Down product when feeding just water. I let the girls tell me what they want, but generally I feed nutrients twice and then PH'd water once. For cloning, I don't use any cloning products or hormones unless I am trying to take clones from a sickly plant or from a plant already in bloom.
I'm retired, this is my hobby and I'm loving life! 😁
