Hello,
Thanks for looking! This is my first ever grow and I am posting here for others to follow along and hopefully witness some success.
I have been lurking on this forum for a while and have gathered lots of useful info. I got my tent and environment setup and sourced these 2 clones locally.
Okay here is the setup:
Strain
-1x "Alien" (Indica)
https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...lbums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=&page=2#
-1x "818" (Also indica?)
https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...lbums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=&page=2#
Flowering Time:
-Unknown
Grow Medium:
-2x 6" Net Pots w/ Hydroton
Hydro System:
-Home-made RDWC - 2x 5 Gallon Buckets
-ECO4 Air pump - Home-made airstone and store bought airstone in each bucket.

-20 Gallon Plastic Reservoir with Ice Packs for temp control.
https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...&prod=albums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=#
-Water pump running to feed lines.
Environment:
-4x4 Reflective Tent

https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...lbums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=&page=2#
-1x 1 Gallon Humidifier (runs into at intake bottom right, on same schedule as lights)
https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...lbums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=&page=2#
-2x 6" 240CFM Duct Fans
-1x CO2 Generator bucket (CO2 outlet shoved into intake duct)
https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...&prod=albums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=#
-Home-made ONA Bucket for odor control (not yet using)
Lighting:
-1x Greenbeams 315W CMH Reflector w/ Remote Ballast and Phillips 942 4200K Bulb (intend to use for veg AND flowering)
-Currently running 18/6
Nutrients/PH/Monitoring:
-1x GH Flora Starter Pack
-PH UP/DOWN Solution
https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...&prod=albums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=#
-1x Blue Combo PH/EC/PPM/Temp Meter
https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...&prod=albums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=#
-Current Water Temp 66 Deg F (was getting over 74+ F before adding ice packs)
-Current Humidity with humidifier running directly to intake is 45-55%.
https://www.icmag.com/ic/photo_popu...&prod=albums&cp=albums&e=vB_Editor_001&code=#
-Clean PH 6.0 tap water
-1/3 of recommend dose of micro, grow and rapid root nutrients.
I received both of the clones and it looks like the grower had clipped off some of the leaf tips (probably hiding some deficiency/issue I guess). They were only $7 each so I figure as long as they grow I am happy, but was a little disappointed with the state they were in.
I picked them up and saturday and got them transplated into my home-made RDWC (credit to blazeoneup tutorial) system in my 4x4 tent - they went straight under the 4200K phillips CMH bulb in my Greenbeams reflector. There were some issues with the clones when I got them (not totally happy) and I have described more below. I have been giving them foliar mists a couple times a day with clean PH'd tap water with a few drops of GH Rapid Root starter.
They seem to be in much better condition today (which I am calling Day 2), but I noticed the some of the small white spots that were on the leaves when I got them are still somewhat apparent (they were also a little droopy when I got them). I have not tried wiping the leaves because they are so small and fragile. The 818 plant appears to be less happy than the Alien, and I have tried to capture some of the spots in my pics (sorry I had just misted them before I took the pics). Does anyone have any input on this? I am wondering if I should just leave them AS-IS and see how they are doing in a couple days - or if I need to start some kind of treatment (try to wipe them) now. I am hoping it is not mildew - and have good ventilation in my tent.

Just wrapping up the second full day and still loaded with excitement - been wanting to grow for a long time and finally have the chance to do it legally (CO)!
I appreciate and welcome any comments or feedback! New to growing and definitely don't approach this with a know-it-all attitude, though I've done lots of research. Always willing to learn; even if it means failing a little here and there
