New Grower 1st Grow Crop King WW Auto

[Modernviking]

Ok so I finally figured out this forum stuff and here's my journal. Growing in Promix organic soil, under 2 crappy amazon lights that are getting replaced in the coming weeks. I made a bunch of mistakes and with the help of this forum I'm at this point. I'll admit I'm not even sure how many weeks above soil they are, Just trying to take that approach so I don't kill them with kindness.

They have been topped after the 4th node with some bondage and a few leaves trimmed. I've only had to feed them 2 times so far, I noticed a few rust spots which I luckily guessed was Cal/Mag Def. They bounced back and no more rust, I happened to catch it early. I try to keep my RH between 40-50% but the climate here is a damn nightmare. I'll try to update this weekly but with summer/family bear with me lol. Also happy to hear your suggestions on my light upgrade, the tent is 40"x40"x6' and still flopping like a fish between, Mars, HLG, Kingbrite. I have my pots on trays that I drilled to catch my runoff in bowls. The trays are sloped on some 2x4 blocks

Things are looking good after recent bondage. The one plant has some curling since day 1 and I can't figure out why, but otherwise I think she's looking good.

Just Another quick update, things are looking great and moving along. one has some crazy amount of heads

Just another update, Things are looking amazing and it looks like I might have some hairs forming. The yellow on the one plant is just from my lights being too close. I was away for a few days and its already starting to regress

Just another quick update, things are going absolutely fantastic and they look amazing. Only thing new is I added a inkbird RH controller and that thing is a beauty.

Things are going partially good. One plant is more yellow than the other and flowering slower. Checked Ph and it's all good my new TDS meter gets here Tuesday for that diagnosis as well. Ordered a HLG 300l it also arrives Tuesday .

If anyone has some feedback on that yellowing feel free to let me know. The soil in that one pot was also more compact than the other so maybe low iron uptake from the packed roots? I top dressed with some fresh soil in hopes that works. Is it also possible that I'm worrying for nothing and they just aren't the same and on different timelines?

@Mañ'O'Green I hear your the nutrient Jedi, I'd like your input please.

It looks like you are overfeeding them. One is a bit dark green and the other is experiencing a Micros Lock-out. That is the light green tops you attribute to your lights.

Plants do not get a burn from LEDs unless they physically touch the diodes. The sun provides over 2000 PPFD and they don't burn! I have pumped 2500 PPFD on plants 3 inches from the lights without any burn.

This is just a guess but if you put Cal-mag in the pot by itself - this is the start of your troubles.

You need to understand how to fertilize. Read this and get back to me with what you have done.
