New Grower Just over 30 days in first grow. Not sure how to read symptoms

[Staxx33]

Just over 30 days.

• Indoor tent 3.5 x 3.5 x 7
• 200w from wall LED light
• 20-25c temps
• 50-60 RH
• 5 gal promix HP
• GH flora series

So these guys had a rough first couple of weeks before I had my tent set up and spend the whole 2nd week hitting 35c every day and the medium definitely dried out too much but they for sure bounced back well enough and are still growing. Now I'm trying to dial in the frequency of feeding. I had read about adding nutes in every watering but I think that was too much. After I did a back to back watering with nutes I started to get some more spots. Since then the last 2 waterings have been just ph'd water.

Right now I'm averaging needing to water every 3-4 days.

Looking for input on the condition of my plants and more generally on how I should approach nutes when I am watering every few days. Nute amounts are for autoflowers. Right now about 2.5ml per gallon of water for each nute in the trio and calmag

Good call. I've edited the original post.

Do you have a ph meter and a ppm meter? If so, start by checking the basics.. Check the ph and the ppm of some of the run off. I bet your Poms are high. Those middle leaves look super dark green which could mean that there is too much of something in the medium. Watering and feeding are two different things. Are you watering AND feeding every 3-4 days? Or just watering?

I have a good PH meter and have been PH'ing to 6.0 - 6.5 every time. I do not have a ppm meter. This is also part of the learning curve for me. As I planted directly into 5gal pots I didnt want to over water and so have hardley been watering to runoff. I feel like the plants are just now getting big enough that I could start doing this.

I didn't do any feeding for the first almost 2 weeks. I originally was not feeding every watering. After doing some reading I thought it would be okay to do a light feeding with every watering seeing as I was watering every few days. After two feedings in a 5 day span and the way the plants reacted I think it was too much and have since decided I should stick to feed - water - water - feed, or perhaps just alternate feeding.
