Idk myself either but I think they're going to need to know what you're growing in and what nutes you're using if any. What lights too. And how much water do you give when you do water. Probably lock out but get some more opinions.

I’m growing with fox farms soil it’s 5 weeks old and I believe she’s starting to show signs of flowering. It’s so bushy and sags for some reason I’m using 2 800 Lumen bulbs as well as a 1400 lumen shooting down on her how can I make sure she’s healthy I never over feed her I haven’t fed her because fox farms comes with nutes I water about every 3 days so what am I doing wrong

Didn't realize it's an auto. Maybe it's not too bad if it's just flowering. I'm not sure how many watts those lumens are. Agree it's bushy and lower leaves dark, so doesnt look like nute shortage per say, so could be lockout. Or maybe autos do this. Shouldn't need much water at this point imo. Maybe just 2 shot glasses per watering, give or take.

35 watts for all 3 bulbs and what’s lockout? And will 3000 lumens be enough for her? Any other ideas people? Just wanna make sure she stays healthy it’s been a very stressful first grow

lockout is generally when it gets too much of one nutrient it locks out other nutrients and you can see signs that look like you don't have enough of the second nutrient when actually your problem is you have too much of the first. You're doing great with just 35 w. But you're going to need more now. That's for sure. Don't stress out though. :weed:

When you water. Do you water until good runoff?
Or water a little each time?

I think @raggyb, hit the nail on the head imho.

Just be calm like raggy said. You'll soon find your problem:peace:

It's all good. Just be cool.

How do you judge when to water?

When should I feed her if I’m using fox farms? Also I don’t wanna over feed her because she just began flowering

I stick my fingers about halfway down the soil.
I'd be judging by the weight of the pot mate.
It could be still wet in the center, and bottom. It turns anaerobic very fast in soil, if it's wet all the time. Anaerobic conditions encourage acidity, and rot.
If you temps are getting up to 98F, the top of your soil will dry , way before the rest. Also anaerobic bacteria thrive, when it's warm.
A warm, anaerobic soil will suffocate your plant.
Get your temps in range.

You don't need any right now.
The answer is also completely dependent with each grow.
You won't get an answer to that question.
:peace:
Good luck
Hope it turns around.
Just be calm.
