I get it, was pretty vague.
Basically I am looking for constructive criticism. Let me tell you how I have gotten where I am and maybe you can tell me where I need to go.
Bag seed
3x3x6 grow tent
1 Galaxy Hydro 300 watt LED unit
Dyna grow and bloom for nutes.
Planted seed and went into flowering from seedling
First Pistils appeared Feb 13th
Did not start nutes untill 5 nodes appeared.
Has had one feeding at full dose (bloom and grow 1:1 ratio)
So, based on all of those details. How does she look, is she on track? what kind of buds can I expect? and how much longer do you guys think she will be need to complete flowering?
I'm not either of those lol I'm just giving advice for OP to get advice

I am thinking it is a PH issue. based on the link you provided, PH is at 7 but it is soil less so I am thinking I need to find a way to drop it lower. Been using acv for lowering PH. Maybe not using it properly.

Ph down is quite reasonably priced on e-bay. Ph for cannabis is best in the 6.3 to 6.8 range

I need to get a bottle. Just using the acv because it was readily available in the house. I will order me a bottle asap. Thanks, I was actually seeking advice on those two leaves in particular. Didn't know if it was nute burn or what.

The best 'tip' I can offer you is to read, read, read, and then read some more. Knowledge is the best tool any grower can have. If you are seeking advice on this or any forum take it with a grain of salt. I go by the if 7 out of 10 members give similar answers it MAY be good advice. But, in the end it is YOUR grow and you have to choose what is best. So, again learn as much as you can...then you can answer your own questions without taking advice on what may work in other gardens but not necessarily yours.

Looks good - nice tight nodes .
Dyna Gro is great . I like their simple 2-part feed system . Just stick to their feed schedule.
Their PPM ratio is much less than others and will still give you good plants , its to easy to OVERFEED and get burns.
The only other suggestion would be to get HYDROPLEX ( it is a great bud building booster that doesnt throw your mixes all out of wack. ) Kool Bloom is another reasonable supplement for mid / late stages.
Here is a tip : If using a premium soil ( FFOF - ProMix - Sunshine - others ) like this ...
Let the plant " FEED " itself from the soil ( NOT FROM ADDING NUTES ) from the beginning , the soil will provide enough ( sometimes up to week 4/5 ) .
You can give a " VEG " feeding around week 4 if you like so its has a little boost in veg growth...... When it is flipped to 12/12 ( photoperiod seed ) i continue a VEG feed ( usually once during the transition phase to sexing / preflower ). Depending how many days pass before soil is ready to add more watering , it will let you know how many feeds you can get to do during a full week. I shoot for FEED / WATER / FEED schedule. ( if possible ).
Once at least a week or so passes after sexing and IS in full flowering , i go to the DynaGro Bloom / Hydroplex mix .
In between feeding i use water / Hydroplex only ( use chart on bottle )
No Drama

So you use Dyna bloom and Hydroplex? That is interesting I've seen posts on grow and bloom (Dynay) but that's the first I've seen Hydroplex mentioned. I'm interested in trying it out. Ordering it with a bottle of ph down from Amazon. I need to drop ph quick because she is showing more signs of her deficiency.Looks good - nice tight nodes .

@Budzbuddha I ordered the Hydroplex from amazon. If you can send me your feeding guidelines I would greatly appreciate if. Or do you just feed as recommended on the label? I do see your notes on when you feed it, would like to know how much you feed when you feed.

"In between feeding i use water / Hydroplex only ( use chart on bottle ) " NEVER MIND. Thanks for the tips everyone!!

I think lemon juice should do in a pinch for ph down... Study various tea recipes for soil grows. I once read a 300 page book on compost and at the beginning and end of every chapter they said you can fix any problem with more compost. Take the mystery out of watering and get an autopot system. Get a single not a double version of the autopot though. Start off with Bountea for your tea mixes and then progressively get more hard corps with TLO (total Living organics) literature. Sit back and watch them grow and welcome to second most expensive hobby on the planet.
