Notice one of the leaves is clawing. That's due to too much nitrogen. Autos don't need as much nutes as regs.

Should I take more off?

You can afford to take off the two bottom big fan leaves. Other then that, everything looking good.

Thanks Delta!!! I've actually calmed down on the feeding because I noticed that. Was going to give just water for next couple watering. and i will take those 2 off then!! Thank you again!! Not to bad for my first grow tho!!

Keep it up with the FF line, stay away from General Hydroponics, Botanicare and Gavita.

How much did the blurple panel set you back?

Have you thought of a vegetation space to keep mums?

Have you looked into COB LED?

Please give me your honest opinion on COB LED cause I’ve just gotten one, 432W and have hear remarks of them not being so reliable?

My lights weren't to bad. About $200 for both. The daisy chain effect is awesome too!! I have read mostly good things about fox farms so that's why I choose them glad you approve. I haven't got to far into it tho. I just wanted to see if I could grow them for sure before expanding. If that makes sense. My ventilation is two six inch fans. One blowing in at the bottom and one blowing out at top. I put a box fan in every day for a couple hours too. My temp stays between 74 and 78 degrees. Ph that goes in is 6.5 to 7.0. Which is also my run off. I'm trying to make it work

LED benefits from a slightly higher temperature, what is your humidity like?

Average is 45 for humidity. That is something I am having difficulties controlling. But it stays between 40 and 65 most days.

If you can bring it up to a solid 60% around 80° F you'll see better results.

Awesome!! I do have a humidifier just trying not to use it yet. I will raise the temps slightly then!! Thank you engima!!!

Grow boss knows his stuff!

Keep it like that.
Simplicity is key,don't go to extreme as leaves are nutrient stores and reliant on flushing stage to absorb as much nutrient to blow up them buds.

Just some updated pictures!! Hope I'm still doing good. I noticed on one of the bubbas the pistils are turning orange. I have a magnifying glass on the way to look at trichomes. Any comments are welcome!!!

The leaves are a little dark, (too much nitrogen) but other then that they are looking good. Good job

How do I fix that? Besides not feeding them lol I'm glad they look ok tho!! Thank you so much!!!

They will be fine without feed for a little. Just water. You'll notice her lighten up a little. What are you using for nutrients? I use a three part

grow, micro, bloom with added Cal mag. Adding the Cal mag would always cause this because the combined amount of nitrogen. I simply adjusted the recommended 8ml of grow per gallon to 6ml and haven't had a problem since. Or you can just water down your feedings a bit.

I have the fox farms trio pack. I'm no longer using the one for veg. Just big bloom and the other one slipped my mind. I usually give about 4 ml to a gallon of both nutrients. I don't have the cal mag yet but I have looked into getting it. Hadn't really had issue with cal or mag being low. But I will grab a bottle after work!!! I'm happy that the bushy one is starting to flower finally. It is older than both bubbas. Thank you again!!!

Next time, put them in the dark for 36 hours before putting her in 12 12 to help trigger flowering
