ok thanks for the advise, as money is stretched at the moment i may have to wait till i can add more lights, i'm thinking of another 300w led.
Dont wait too long to get another light whalefish,your Vipar 300 might be ok for 3 plants at a push
but 6 is asking a bit much of it imo.

yeah man but gotta get me motorbike fixed as it sucks going to aand from work on the bus, next crop i'll have 2 led lights. Whats the worse outcome of having to many plants for my light ? this is my first grow i guess if i accidentally kill a plant or fuck it up, more may be better in my case lol. All advise is appreciated,thanks.

ps. YNWA
 
Well,getting your motorbike fixed is your priority,with a new led light a close second.
You will get smaller yields per plant ,but you still might get what 2 or 3 plants would have produced
under the same light.
Your Vipar 300 only covers 3ft x 2ft area,so youre going to have to cram them into that space.
They probably wont grow that big anyways coz of only 30w of light each.
When you get another light,i would suggest getting a one with a flowering spectrum,ie more reds.
Once your plants stop growing in hieght,they dont need as much blue light,they still need some,but need more reds.Thats why most growers supplement led panels with red cfls or hps in flower.
I like your ps. YNWA but dont forget JFT96
 
Oh,and get some perlite for your next run,it helps with drainage and oxygen uptake in the roots.
 
Small update as been awhile, Pot with poundland soil seems to be doing well pic was on day 19 i believe DSC_0039.jpg had some ligh lst.

Day 14 on these : DSC_0037.jpgDSC_0041.jpgDSC_0042.jpg

All plants still just on water and seem well from my eyes, If you look at the poundland plant (ak49 auto) it has a fair few retarded leaves but i read that is normal with ak's is that correct?
 
Auto's are a new variety and have a bunch of genes that get a bit faulty from time to time so those retarded leaves are pretty normal.

Looks good! Keep that LST going!
 
They look on track,good job.Looks like you made a good choice of soil/potting mix.
Not too hot for autos,they are easily stunted by too hot of a soil.
I wish i had a pound for every deformed leaf ive had on my autos,i found them fairly common.
It was always the bottom two sets of fans that would tend to deform.
As illbethere says,theyre nothing to worry about.
