Lighting My First Grow - Northern Lights Blue

[Pal23]

28 Days Later..(See what I did there?)

Hey guys, we've reached the 4 week mark so it's time for an update. I'm not sure why they're growing at different rates but the left plant is double the size of the other at this point. They're both still suffering from the mg deficiency by the looks of things, I don't really know how to resolve this issue since they've had 5/6 doses of Epsom Salts over the past couple weeks. There have been lots of new bud sites forming on the larger plant all looking nice and green..the plant on the left grows an inch a day - time to move the light down? If I'm missing something obvious feel free to shout it out. Anyway here's a bunch of pictures, and please as usual, keep the comments/feedback coming I really appreciate the guidance

Smaller plant on the right:

New bud sites on larger plant:

Some close ups on the leaves' condition:

What height have you got your unit at? You now want it around the 18" mark as there in the stretch phase till like week 5 if you can raise the small girl up so that her top sits at the same level as the taller girl i have had to do exacaly the same with my current grow.. Only drop the light down to 12" in full blown flower when you notice no more rapid growth and you feel shes in full flower when all the small bud sites start to look like tiny buds (sort off lol)

If you look at the pics here https://www.autoflower.org/f90/deficiency-pics-16474.html your leaves look like the have a little nitrogen def you could try increasing the grow nutes.

Right now it's at 21" from the top of the plants, I raised the smaller one already to make the canopy level. Do you think it would be wise to let the smaller one sit lower since its behind the other in terms of growth speed? just seems "younger" than the other don't wana do any damage by lowering the light on her too soon.. Thanks for the input

Thanks man, my ph was around 7 for the first couple weeks also so that could have caused some kind of lockout of the nitrogen, the last feed they had was 2ml of grow so I'll up that to 3 and hopefully see some improvements in terms of colour (3ml = 3/4 strength), thanks for the input - greatly appreciated

A few after thoughts..after the update. I'm assuming there becomes a point in which its okay to feed every day? The pots go from wet to moist from one day to the next so do you think its safe to assume they can handle a feed every day? I've just lowered the lights to 18" and I will most likely feed them this evening with the upped amount of grow, hopefully i'll see some green return to the leaves. And the last thing I forgot to mention was that the girl on the left showed sex around day 24/25, can't remember which exactly but theres plenty of pistols on display today Still none for the smaller girl but I'm sure we'll get there :smoke:
