New Grower Afghan Kush auto grow!

[JAB]

Hey guys and gals, im 4 weeks into my afghan kush auto grow. I was posting on rollitup but just do not like the flow of that website as much as i do this one! Way to many rude people and degraders. So im 100% autoflower.net now!

2x4 closet setup
2 bestva 1000watt leds (210 watts from wall)
3 gallon fabric pots
Black gold organic soil
trio nutes
4" ventilation with duct running from my ac vent to back of fan to keep room cool
2 fans
Uhhhh i think thats it!
I am going to post one pic for each week then start posting more often with true updates!

Week 1
nothing special just watered and misted.
Week 2
same thing just water and misted. Started a calcium def.
Week 3
I started LST and gave her first feeding of veg nutes 1/2 dose with calmag added in to fix the deficiency.
Week 4
She got 1/2 dose of veg nutes and calmag. Really exploded with growth had to tie her down again! No defs and starting to smell REAL funky. Also seeing a few little pistils i guess shes considered pre-flower now?!

Stay tuned i will post on week 5 and on and on!! Hopefully this qualifies for the nice shiny badge? But if not i will blame it on rollitup and start a new journal from scratch. Lol

Day 35 today for my afghan auto! Shes doing pretty good. Growing everyday it seems like. Im fixing to lightly defoliate here in a few days and train her down again as shes getting a little uneven and im OCD. Haha just gave her water today PHd at 6.5. So far no deficiencies fingered crossed! Does she look a little small to you still? I really think it has to do with the seedbank. Going with mephisto next grow!

As you can see in the pic i have other grows as well but im really focused on the afghan trying to get the most out of her! The others are:

9 week old gorilla glue auto
9 week old bubblegum auto
2 week old northern lights auto
2 week old bubblegum
Oh and another afghan auto i started 3 days ago in soil she just popped her head up this morning! Looks healthy so far.

Can anyone tell me whether or not she is on track with growth?

I'm no plant surgeon but yeah, new growth looks super healthy. I was a little worried about those couple spots on the fan leaves, but doesn't seem to have slowed her down at all.
I would keep doing what you're doing. Looks right on par with mine and they are on day 28 today.

Thanks! Good to know. My first grow they were all extremely stunted. Biggest ended up being only 12" and gave me 16g dry so im hoping this grow will get me over an O!

Day 41 so 1 day from 6 weeks! Throwing more pistils everyday! Fed bloom nutes and thats about it. So ready for the buds to start!

I did defoliate a little but not much. Just to open up the center a little. Should i be taking shoots off in the center if its not getting adequate light exposure?

Man I haven't touched mine as far as trimming goes, just lst. Just letting nature do it's course. I grossely underestimated my space needs lmao.

Haha at least your filling your space! I only defoliate because last run i didnt and got WAY to much larf my light isnt very penetrating like i see a lot of these others beating down light mine just isnt powerful enough i guess.

You mind checking mine out and giving me some feedback? Should I try defoliating one? I know i have been tempted on a few leaves. But I figure the more energy they absorb the more they will put towards bud production... or is that counter-intuative like too much water? So much guess work lol.
