New Grower White Widow Xtrm AMS

[Synergy]

White Widow Xtrm AMS
900w viparspectra led full spectrum
2x2x5 high rise tent
5 gallon pot
Soil (miracle grow from HD)

She’s right at around 35ish days. She slowed and then self topped and exploded with growth then slowed again and started preflowering and now she’s back at growing pretty fast now.

Since this is my first grow I’m just letting her go so I can see what happens and when and just let nature take its course first. At preflowers I popped another seed, same strain in a 5 gallon airpot with dr earth potting soil and perilite. (This one should be higher, I’m hoping)

Not sure if it’s too much light for the plants or what, or if the first one just got shocked from the light, I got some white tips that have since disappeared. And some brown tips keep showing up but it’s nothig major that I see. Looked like she had some magnesium deficiency so I added a little epsom salt to the water and she seems to be clearing up. Nothing has been ph’d yet but I have my GH Kit coming so I’ll be able to fully oh the soil finally. I was adding a little pinch of dolomite like to the water every other watering but I stopped that.

Now just letting nature take its course. For bloom I do have some dr earth bloom but it’s not liquid. Looking to make a tea but I figure I’ll just add it to the gallon or so of water I water with and see how that works.

Sorry for the long post!

Happy to be here @Synergy excited to watch these babies become monsters under all that light you have, how many true watts does the 900 pull?

Not sure, I can’t find much info on the led nor do I have a multimeter. Maybe I should get one. If it’s like the other less I’d guess somewhere around 2-300 Watts less than the claimed wattage? 600?

Plants are looking great @Synergy and nothing wrong with a long post (some of mine get pretty long too). Miracle Grow is considered too hot of a soil to use with autos and would cause burnt tips at the very least. Although, I have seen it used before. If you see any round dark balls about the size of a pea on the surface, than those are the added nutes. You can remove any you see, just don't disturb the roots. Also, I would recommend one of these

Control Wizard Accurate pH 8. I know their expensive, but there're well worth!

I’ll have to pick one up. I have one of those two prongs that get kind of close but it doesn’t work that well. I haven’t phd yet but I have the kit coming in the mail so it should be here soon. Then I will be able to have a proper watering ph.
I’m alsp planning on getting a water timer and a 5 gallon bucket for when I leave for a few days on nye.
I’m really excited to see my girl grow. I really am interested in lst, I can see how it will help a lot. She’s REALLY bushy. I was worried I would crack a stem, guess I need to lst early!!

I also have a question about defoiliaging but I’ll have to take some pictures later this evening. I’m kind of scared to trim her.

Bro I defol really big leaves about a week before flower and about 2 weeks into flower, dont be afraid. Canna can take it bro. I'm the laziest of growers I don't check ph dont care about ec, I eye ball everything and all my girls love life. Don't be afraid the worst that can happen is you'll have to pop a new seed but you'll have all kinds of knowledge for the next one.
