Hey guys and gals! Here's my new babies. This is my first time trying to grow anything, other than some cat grass lol. I recently decided I could fit a 2x4 tent in my home when a friend let me sample some of his homegrown. I was told it was Compound Genetics waffle cone (a cross of dosilato x jet fuel gelato). This shit was so frosty, fruity, gassy and strong af. When he told me he was going to have some clones, I had to give it a try. So, as I said, I've got a 2x4x6 mars hydro tent. I'm using a 320w ecofarm led (https://www.growpackage.com/collections/eco-farm-best-sellers/products/eco-farm-120w-240w-320w-480w-600w-quantum-board-led-grow-light). My medium is coast of Maine's stonington mix. This is supposed to be water only soil, so I'm not using any nutes yet. Later I plan to use some fish bone meal, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, coast of Maine's lobster compost, worm compost, recharge (need to order still) and extreme gardening mykos (added to root ball and transplant hole before transplant). This grow just started 2 days ago for me. My friend's clones got too big for his cloner so he moved them to 2 gallon pots (filled about half way with 70/30 coco and perlite mix). He uses fox farm synthetic nute as well. I wasnt sure if I was going to be able to transplant them to my soil without having some kind of bad reaction, but I already had all my soil so I said fuck it and gave it a try. The coco was dry and I could tell the plants were thirsty. Instead of watering them in the coco, I was able to clean most of the coco off of the root ball (I did this very gently but I know this was dangerous too). Once the root balls were out, I sprinkled about a scoop of mykos on the root ball and the hole it was going into. The bigger plant had a much longer root ball and seemed to stand up strong once in soil. The shorter plant has a much shorter root ball (still nice and fat tho) and didnt want to stand up yet. Maybe I should have put it deeper in the soil but I didnt want to go too deep. Either way it basically turned into some LST. The stalk is horizontal and the rest is growing up (or trying to at least). The larger plant got some LST last night as well. I gave the stalk a little pinch and bend. There was not snap but I was able to bend it over and hold it down with a bread tie. When I woke up today they look ok, or at least not any worse than they were yesterday. I think the plants look a little droopy. The main stalk is nice and hard but the side branching and leaves aren't really standing up yet. My guess is this is due to a bunch of stuff. First, I was given the plants after they had been in a car trunk in freezing cold for about 2 hrs. Then, as I said, they were definitely thirsty when I got them and i transplanted them into 3 gallon pots, moving from coco with synthetic nutes to organic soil. And, on top of all that, I've been struggling with my humidity levels. I'm picking up a humidifier today but yesterday we had a heavy snow store so I wasn't able to go out. In an attempt to keep RH high enough I've put my 20 gallon pots in the tent and I'm keeping some damp towels and bowls of water in the room. This has been keeping my RH at around 50% but every 4-5 hours the towels need to be redampened or RH goes down to around 30-32%. I only have my exhaust fan on low with another small fan inside for circulation. Temps have been good. Mostly staying around 73-78f. I've been keeping lights on for 24hrs since that what my friend did, but I'll be changing that to 18/6 gradually before I flip to 12/12. I need to top the big plant soon because it's getting too tall imo. I'm gonna wait a day or 2 to see how they look tho. By then the small plant will be ready to top as well I think. Since I only have the 2 plants and plan to flower them in 15+ gallons of soil, I want to do a bit of training before flipping to flower. I plan to put 2 scrog nets up later too. That's pretty much everything I can think of for now. I've done a ton if reading and watching, but I'm still very new to growing plant life. This is mostly for my own entertainment, but feel free to comment or question on anything. I would appreciate any advice other may have. In the end, I hope I can make my dream of big, dank buds come true, but I'll be happy as long as I dont kill them.

Looks like you started training very early. Should pay off when flowering hits

@Ilovemykittys, sure why not. Hopefully it'll be a good yielder when all is said and done

@GuerrillaNo_4, yeah I was given some oversized clones so I pretty much started training s couple days after I got them home and transplanted them. I figured if I was gonna mess up and break/kill branches I better learn early on so they have time to recover lol. I wasnt sure how well they would respond but it's nice to hear that it should help in the long run.
