I don't know what happened, I attached 5/6 photos, will attach again here. BTW it's a 1mx1m tent, 2m high and have a phlizon 1500w full spectrum led light which I believe is 200w equivalent on full 20/4 schedule, thanks for your response mate, much appreciated

I'd switch to bloom nutrients a week after you begin to see pistils, but we're using different nutes.

Mine is split to early bloom, mid bloom, late bloom, and I feed from a chart supplied by them.

You're on 20 hours or light, so your light doesn't need to be as strong as someone running only 12 hours to get the same total light. I set the light at a height that gives good coverage to all the plants, and adjust the brightness based on how the plant looks just before lights out.

When the plant no longer wants to accept more light, it will droop at the end of the day. turn down the brightness until that no longer happens. Of course, watch that you don't burn the leaves, and stay in a safe spot on your VPD chart.

Its safer to run too little light than way too much.

It may help to download a light meter app. I use PPFD Meter(free)

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it and the time taken. I have two different blooms feeds, canna 'terra flores' and plant-magic old timers organic 3-5-4. Also have cannatonic to clear old roots but not sure if I'll use this yet and retro forte leaf spray. Will use all on 1/4 of recommended doses and gradually build as I have with veg stage and only to half strength at most.
Re light, I'll keep an eye on them in the last hour or so of the day, my white widow did droop a bit midday twice last week but is fine now, I think they may have got hardy as I had them on 23/1 at first and now they're just relieved to get some decent rest. Leaves are good, have hygrometer at height of plant tops to keep an eye on temp and it's around 25-26c and 75-80rh, turning up the extractor fan gradually to bring down rh gradually. Thanks again for the heads up I'll definitely download the light meter app

Just downloaded the app and measured my light, it's at 22900lux and I checked out a YouTube video which says I need 8000-13000 for veg and 20000-30000 for flower, if pistils weren't beginning to show I'd turn it down but as they're a bit borderline I'll leave it now. But I do know for next time I can save some electricity in the veg stage and not stress the next lot of girls either. Thanks again

same here with my grow - just doublechecked my lights and they say 23-26k on the canopy - but they always worked out - But I just cut down one lamp to go step off a bit to16k . And about nutes..go with grow nutes a while - i just switched too early, and ran into a def and slow growth.

cheers

Thanks mate, will do with the nutes, had to defoliate a bit again today, mainly bottom old big leaves, really running out of space. Didn't expect all six seeds to take w

Thanks mate, yeah I'd heard of lux but this is only my second auto grow so could only take on so much information in my little head to start but given a push I will learn, ha ha, so I'll be right on with the light meter now. Thanks for the advice with the nutes to. The girls are still growing so I'm trying to read them right and give them what they ask for, and although all 5 GC and the 1Ww all sewed at the same time they're at different stages, one's now over 40cm and one s just coming up to 30, I just placed two on top of my microwave, s extra shelving to give them a leg up today, use what you have right. Sending you oodles of good vibes for your grow mate, I'm sure they'll still be good, sometimes they do seem ready and then they're not, can be a tough callevery day's a school day eh thanks again for the heads up
