Our first grow

[Jkjiv]

My wife and I will be journaling our first grow here. We are growing in a 2x4 tent with a cob led light. We are 2 weeks in, the strain is Raspberry cough from Nirvana. We actually bought the almost 2 years ago and didnt know if they would germinate. We tried 2 of them and they both popped. We are just hoping we dont screw it up lol.
*Soil is fox farms, happy frog
*grow light is a Full Spectrum Reflector 800w COB LED

We went right to a 2 gal cloth pot with seedlings, hope that wasn't a mistake.
Will we need to transplant to a larger pot before flower?

 

[Jkjiv]

One day after fertilizing with 1/2 dose with fox farms grow big there is a noticeable difference. We weren't sure if it was too early to start feeding but growth seemed really slow for being 3 weeks in.

Second pic was last night when we fed

That growth is a bit slow for 3 weeks in my opinion. I think it could be because you potted them in a slightly larger pot then necessary, the plant spends a lot of time building roots under the soil and you don't see much growth up top. @WeedHopper or @putembk , is there anything to that thinking of mine? Lol, sorry, really high atm, lol

I should also mention that we had all four lights on for the first 2 week and I suspected it might have been too much light, growth seemed to improve some after turning 2 of them off. The lights are 18" from the top of the leaves.

 

[Cannagrammy]

Actually, that's exactly what I do. My plants don't see dark until their third week of life, so that isn't an issue.

What type of lights are you taking about? 18" might be too high or too low, depending on lighting.

 

[Jkjiv]

grow light is a Full Spectrum Reflector 800w COB LED similar to this pic except mine is white paint. I found the same light with a different brand on it. That's all I really have to go on.

 

[Cannagrammy]

can you tell me the brand? I can't read it on the picture, and I'm betting that it's not really 800 watts.

Sorry, phone dying and I have no way to change until the sun comes up, be back first thing tomorrow!

So 18" is ok?

No I believe that's 800w equivalent, brand is Marswell. They run very cool, to cool actually, can't get the tent temp much over 70.

 

[Jkjiv]

We actually put a heat mat under them but it hasn't helped much

If I'm using this meter what is the ideal light reading I should be getting at the top of the canopy?

Right now the reading is around 350, and I'm not sure what that even means
