Plants dont always get watered everyday, only when needed...I wait until they have completely used all the water..I water by immersion the whole potting container in water/fertilizer until soaked. My nutes are the Fox Farms trio as well as 1/2 tsp superthrive and 1/2 teaspoon calmag per gallon h20. I have done some reducting of exhaust on veg cabinet, and springtime i plan on doing a larger more thought out veg cabinet.
Flower box is about full, and first set of clones are at day 50ish...

The grow is totally the Dr. Method..except I went up in size for the planting containers. First harvest of 8 plants is done at day 60 , second set of 8 will be ready in another 10 or so days, ive got issues with the 3rd and 4th set being stunted from an over water issue so that will screw up production, Ive taken extra clones to make up for them as they are ready and the stunted clones will be culled as space is needed and go into the mrs. Cannabis almond butter. I didnt do a wet weight , but being my first grow Im guessing yeild will be 1.25 oz plus some popcorn and sugarleaf...second harves is looking to be alot better as I added another 64 actual watts as they were stretching.

After dry and a week into cure I am at 1.65oz which works out to .75 gpw not bad I think for my first grow, but from my 2 mothers I have a distinct pheno in each... 1 produces a plant that is short (14-16") and seems like it wants to be bushy small buds and lots of sugar leafs (this one will be going to compost) and the other a nice tall 22-24" with nice top cola and several sets of decent buds going down the stem..its funny to look at them side by side becuase bud spacing is pretty much exact...this is the pheno I will be keeping, 2nd set of clones is coming down this weekend and has more of the desired pheo whos will push me over the 1 gpw. I grabbed a cutting off a friends outdoor Black Domina last month and it is going to be introduced into the rotation.

I did get it down pretty good.. just like clockwork and pulling decent yields but my work schedule changed and couldn't keep up with the water/feeding, cloning schedule and switched out to a 4x3 tent.

The thing about pc fans for them to work is you need to have at least 1" minimum distance on the backside of it. Anything less & the air on the outside is blown away. It's not air from the backside passing through. From 40mm & up, doesn't matter, the space behind matters, not the front.

I gotta say, your grow looks good but if you wanna tighten up that stretch using those screw-in leds you gotta follow dr. Buds original flower technique. You gotta raise those plants closer for the first 2 weeks. You want those plants to grow into the light not stretch getting there. The height was the same no matter the distance from those lights. Only the node spacing & density changed.
The taller plant was 2 weeks & the other 3 were getting their first day. I had the first plant raised & maintained the distance 5" from the lights for 2 weeks. When the other 3 went in i just maintained the distance for the older clone.
Those was that older clone that started closer.
The others that weren't raised in the beginning for that stretch. Since I know they'll all finish the same height, I since then focus on that light distance when I start cause my node density goes up by a measurable amount.
