New Grower Platinum450LED 2x4 Cash Crop AUTOS

Looking good so far, from what I've read about scrog setups, to get the most out of them, you really want to be gently bending the branches out under the net, vs using it as a support net, so that all secondary branches will grow at the same rate as the main cola, I've seen pictures with the plants bent at an almost 90 degree angle, but I'm thinking that takes a lot of patience, also, do you think you would benefit more with the inside of the new area white or mylar to create some reflectivity of that awesome led you have? I'm a noob as well so take my thoughts with a grain of salt lol.

My first grow. I am learning as I go. I definitely want mylar or panda film. I had a roll of 6mil so I used it. The temps in my small 2x4 got into the mid 90s. So I rushed to build some sort of ac containing tent. I only have 2 plants in a 6x6 so I don't think reflectivity will matter much as none will be close to any wall. Next grow I shall line it. I was thinking of getting a few cheap survival blankets to hang up though.

I'm on my first grow too, my tent is tiny and I had real high temps the first 2 weeks, until I figured out aiming my fan towards the light, and also plugging my exhaust fan into the same timer as the light, would bring the temps from 90 to 77, so the exhaust would run while lights were on, I'm in late flower now, so the exhaust has to be on all the time for odor control.

They do look good, I am surprised since this is my first go. I have autoflower.net to thank for all the information my brain had to digest just to get started. I am on here everyday learning what I can.
It was super cheap to make the drip system, I think the most expensive part was the $10 tote lol, the fitting, rubber washer and 2 part gorilla glue epoxy were all reasonable. Pump and air stones were $10 at wally world.

I have no experience with coco, which I understand is kinda tricky, or indoor growing. Seems you've done your home work and are doing well.

This is my first grow indoors. I'm originally from the corn fields of Indiana and have grow in the middle of a corn field for about 10 years before I moved. It was so simple with such great soil. Never any supplements or pesticides, just killer buds. Literally as easy as plant and harvest. Geee I miss the good old days. Its like I am learning everything for the first time.
