Astronautrob blasts off to outer space

Hi all!

New member, old grower, here. About 3 weeks in to my new grow and thought I would put a journal up this time to keep a little record of the adventure. All posts, tips, suggestions, jokes, stories, monologues, anything you want to contribute is welcomed. Although I'm a old grower, I always love to learn new tricks.

A little about the grow: Growing 2 Bubblegummer clones (heavy indica) and a baby from seed who was a mystery strain for like 5 years ago
I'm working in a 4x4x7 tent that I've section off to a 2x4x7 space to grow in.
400w MH in veg and first 2 weeks of flower then switching to HPS (with 4-8 23w blue spectrum CFLS to compensate).
Soil is FF OF with 50% perlite
For nutes I'm only going to run some CalnMag during vegging (since they are clones I'm only going to veg for 3-4 and figure the nutes in the soil will be fine for those weeks) and then switch to Jacks bloom booster during flowering
I growing in 1lb grow bags then switching to 5lb once I flip
Inline fan, carbon filter, cool tube, etc are being installed next week

I think that about covers it for the specs. Like I said I'm about 3 weeks in, growing from clones, so I have another week or so till I'm going to flip. Obviously the seed is not mature enough to warrant a flip to flower but I'm more in it for the clones with this grow so I'm just gonna let the seedling do it's thing under the 12/12 schedule.

Some pictures from along the way so far....


Guess I can only include 5 pics in post so these are the most recent pics of the girls, all except the top left one that one is probably like a 1-2 weeks in

Some update pics. Got the cool tube and ventilation installed, didn't go exactly to plan but I made it work. Temps steady at 75 and fresh air blowing out of the tent. I transplanted the first clone to a 5 gal, will doing clone 2 Wednesday and flipping lights on Friday to start the flowering journey. Been reading a lot of defoliation and flushing during the last 2 weeks of flower, I don't usually do either but interesting.

I now realize I probably posted this in the wrong forum so if someone could move it that would be awesome. Sorry about that....
