Hey friend looking good so far nice clean tent setup. Would it be okay if I offer you some pointers to help you out on your quest to grow? First off cannabis plants love heat and humidity it is the buds that hate it. In veg and early flower before we get bud development we want to capitalize on this to get as vigorous growth as possible from our ladies and get them to the size we want and proceed into flower. We do not want to waste time growing our plants slowly in veg. We can speed this up with proper temps and humidity. 79-84 is OKAY for lights on temps. We want no more than 9 degrees less with the lights off though. It is important we keep this gap tight between temps, If we allow for more than 10 degrees less in temps with lights off, Large fluctuations in temps like that will cause the plants to stretch at this stage. Humidity plays a big part in plant development as well especially early on when your plants root structures are not quite as developed. Having some humidity in the air to help the plants supplement their intake through foliar feeding is very helpful at this stage to again speed up the veg process. Anywhere from 65-75% for the first 2 weeks is great. If you haven't gotten them yet get yourself a PAR meter and a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 62 MAX to help you better read your plants and grow to their needs. Also look up VPD, Vapor pressure deficit and how it relates to growing cannabis. All new growers should learn this right from the start. As we progress down the road and begin to enter flower there are some important things to know. First off temperature is very vital to how your buds will develop. Too low of temps we will get very dense buds and extremely caked but we lose out on size. Too hot of a room and our buds will be huge and airy and prone to fox tailing as well as never being as caked. Temps over 82 if we grow our buds at those temps with lights on will begin to show those signs. We generally like to get our buds developed at around 80 degrees then after weeks 2-3 begin tapering our lights on temps down to around 77 for the remainder of the grow. Once our plants finish their vertical growth by weeks 4-6 of flower we then begin to open up the temp gap between lights on and lights off by allowing for more than 10 degrees less when the lights go off. Now that the plant has finished its vertical growth instead of stretching this will now signal the plant to put extra energy into the budding process and resin production which will really help you get a nice finish on your crop. I hope I have not overloaded you with information, If you ever should need help or have any questions feel free to ask me I am on here often.

Nice start. If she's a light mix start applying nutes, you'll see a real change. Happy growing!
