Thank you, I'll probably do a grow journal for the next one. This one has been a rough learning curve and is mostly for balancing equipment and making mistakes at this point. [TLDR; abused these plants while we balanced the system so our grow journal will be on the next set.]
Started with 6 GG#4's in a box we built in the basement, 2 didn't germinate so we went down to 4 (the seed bank said they would replace them though because they didnt see anything wrong with what we did.) Then we expected a lot more heat from the lights but the LED has built in cooling fans that work super well and we struggled with heat and humidity; got a hot mist humidifier and over did it, shocking the plants. Replaced the humidifier with a better model that regulates, couldn't get the temp over 68 still so we put 1" foam board insulation on the outside of the box. Now its at a nice 73-75F and 71-73 humidity and we can back the humidity down once we get into veg/flower. The next grow will go soooooo much better lol.
Are they photos or autos? The GG#4 that is. Just wondering… I’ve heard gg#4 can be finicky and hard to grow sometimes. Looks like you have everything sorted out now. I’ll be waiting for your next grow.

We only plan to do autos. Because the space we have only has a 6ft clearance (5-5.5ft inside the box) i think we will be better off with autos in a 11ltr pots so we can cycle them faster. At least for now, being so new and needing the hands on to learn the basics before we start LST and stuff.

I concentrate on autos for the most part as well. But have photos too, going outdoors in 3-4 weeks. Yeah with that headroom I’d stick with autos as well. I could do 4 in 5 gal containersin a 4x4 tent but veg would only be 60 days. For fear that they’d overgrow the tent. I try to run SIPs, sub irrigated planters indoors for autos.

Our plan is going to be doing 6 autos in 3gal pots in a 4x5x5.5 and turn it into a continuous harvest eventually. We have an auto water system but aren't using it atm because I want to learn by hand first. We did get the timer for the light and we just ordered an outlet with a high/low dual outlet humidistat for a "set it and forget it" humidity control. Its been rough controlling the temp and humidity in a basement this far up in NY, hence the shock (i can be in Canada in like 30mins lol.) My next concern is going to be the dry tent but we sunk the investment into that in advance with a 2x2x3 grow tent with 4", 195CFM exhaust fan and charcoal filter with passive intake. We have extra foam board insulation if we need it and will have it set up well in advance to see what we need for humidity control in there.

hello this is a 10 pot autopot grow 3.9 gallon grown in promix soil with jacks city limits nutes I followed the schedule pretty much they are all day 55ish some slower then others. Its pretty packed maybe putting 10 autos in a 5x5 wasnt the best idea but it is working for now just upgraded to the fc 8000 going good I guess . They are all on 3 reseviors 4 on 1 and 4 on another and 2 on another. The 4 autos that r in veg are growing in coco so let's c how that works out. All plants were topped some took it better then others but eventually the ones who were shocked recovered and filled in. In ny no backyard so it is what it is lol

Man, you must be kinda close to me as I can hit the border in about 45 minutes
 
Probably not far no. Did you have issues with keeping temps up and humidity controlled?
Yes, basement with only one duct from furnace. In the coldest weeks I struggled to keep temps and humidity was way low. Someday I might graduate to a lung room...lol (upstairs when the boy gets an apt)
