Welcome @Anelson512 to AFN Lots of good farmers here. To get someone's attention put the atmark @ in front of their name. Like I did you.

It is most helpful to take your pictures in white light so we can gauge the health of the plant. A cheap CFL works fine.

@Mañ'O'Green, thanks for the advice. I'll grab a small light next time. I gave them a quick visit this morning (as I do every morning ) and they're both showing some nice pistols. I'll probably do another water/feed tomorrow and will update with some new photos then.

@Rev. Green Genes, first time grow it is. I certainly spent alot of late nights and smoke sessions with a few buddies that grow planning this out and researching. So far so good. I'm loving the LST also. Much easier to manipulate them when they are smaller and the stems are soft. Im already noticing since I started my LST that the main stem is now in its final spot haha.

Thanks again for the props.

Happy growing and stay high.

Thanks for all the encouragement and following my first grow.

@Mañ'O'Green i tried getting some pics without the LEDs on to try and give a more true perspective of the plants. Let me know what you think.

Knock on wood, everything seems to be going as planned and they all seem happy. You may notice in some of the pics I have what I'm calling my "grow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]" in the 1 gal pots. My 5x5 tent is certainly tight for all 8, so I'm trying to figure out a solution before all the girls get to big. Thinking about adding a 3x3 tent with one 450w led for seedlings and veg. Ill most likely be doing a separate journal for these unless it turns into a perpetual grow.

Only potential issue I'm seeing is I'm thinking my humidity levels may be too high, especially for flowering. They are hovering in the mid to high 60% range. Any suggestions for keeping that down? It's super humid here in MA right now so I'm sure that's not helping.

Anyway that's it for now. Trying to continue with the updates roughly every 2 days when I feed or water.
