My first attempt at indoor cultivation (NL5 x Afghan)

[LmuschelS]

Hi there!

As you might have read in my introduction I started growing some Sensi Skunks this year and this great place here. My Skunks are coming to an end in the next two weeks, so I got me a 140x70x200cm tent and some seeds.
For the first run I decided to give NL5 x Afghan a go and watered 6 seeds on September 18th. I did something wrong, so only 2 made it to the surface.
A few days later I tried again with 8 seeds and of course 8 of 8 made it, leaving me with way too many plants.

As this is my first run indoors, please help me out with some advice.
I will treat them like chilis, using the same soil ( TKS 2, coconut humus and perlite), fertiliser (Hakaphos Soft Spezial) and rain water.
The tent houses a Spider Farmer G4500 320w LED which feels like overkill. Currently is is set to 30%.

Some impressions:

Nice start @LmuschelS.
Regarding the feeding I would say less is more, monitor the colour of the leaves closely.
When they are getting lighter colored it is time to add some feeding.
Start with 1/4 of the recommended dose and work your way up.
Your soil should have enough nutrients for the first 4-6 weeks but feeding could be needed sooner if you wait to long to transplant.
Gradually higher your wattage and keep it at 50cm until your plants have 8 nodes.

If you're not sure about something, post it here.
There are a lot of helpfull members.

Good luck and nice strain choice!

I am sure the indoor experts will give you good advice.

Hakaphos is a high quality mineral fertilizer. Just be sure to select the one with the correct N-P-K ratios for veg and bloom. These products are strong, as @Swifty recommends, be very careful with the dosage.
hakaphos is in solid form, I had to mix with water and check E.C levels. After some time I went to a more Marihuana dedicated one and I do not have to check E.C.

Never say you have too many. From 10 you might end up with 5 females +/-.

Good luck
