First time photo grower

JointTaskForce Just found this site. I'm at Day 45 of flower. First time growing photo plants. Always grew Autos. Last time growing photos, I love my autos. I've got 3 plants total. 2 fantasy breath from ThugPug genetics and 1 MeatBreath from ThugPug. I got large clones that looked to be about a week into flower. Unintentionally monster cropping? I've always grown from seed. First time getting clones. Clones came with Spider Mites. Definitely ruined my experience with these plants. Just ordered more auto seeds, going back to autos. They fit my style and space better, and I've got the strains dialed in pretty well. These three are grown in organic 5gal hempy buckets. I use my own organic soil blend and add perlite, vermiculite, coco, and bat guano. I like the passive hydro properties of hempy, and the flavor of soil. This setup works great for me. Somewhat non-traditional hempy/auto grower. I used LST-Tops resistance training bands. I really like this concept, and these bands worked really well. I've also got a 4" scrog net over the top. Im used to growing natural, and i suck at scrogging. Definitely need more practice. I had my scrog canopy 100% full in a 2'x4'x6' tent after 60 days of veg. On hindsight, probably should have flipped at 75% or less. I got about 18-24 inches of growth before I knew what happened. I use 30 standard size cfl bulbs that put out between 1800-2200 lumens each. About the equivalent of a 700w bulb (30cfl=1x700w hps/led/mh)?. Total lumen output ~60k mixed spectrum. Went for the Home Depot diy install. Y split socket plugs in single socket plugs, in a power strip. I have 5 strips hung inverted with zip ties, each with 6 bulbs. I keep the top of the canopy about 4-8 inches from the lights. Pics coming soon.
