First grow and I'm looking for any input

5.5 weeks old today. Seems to still be doing pretty good. Just posting an update to see what you guys think. I obviously didn't try mainlining. Since this is my first grow I just wanted to keep it easy and reduce the chance of me messing something up. So far all I've done is top it a couple times and LST. I'm not the best at either.

healthy as fuck dude....

Your plant looks super stoked, no deficiency screaming out (that I can see). I'd suggest looking at some cloth pots- they allow more aeration of the soil and roots, Root pouches are durable and work great- or smart pots. Roots like oxygen and fresh air Not to say anything bad about 5 gallon buckets. Don't sweat not being the best at topping or LST- we all start somewhere and your own experience and mistakes are greater tools for learning than any forum. I've super cropped and LST'ed and broken full branches. Learn not to stress so hard, and learn how to use tape and a splint to mend branches! Looking good, keep it up

Thanks guys. I think my next grow I'll use a smart pot. They do seem pretty cheap and have always heard good things about them. I am looking forward to switching to flower but am unsure of when exactly to do that. Will have to do some reading. I'm hoping to start soon.

Just wanted to do another update. I have been growing this double berry few for about 6.5weeks now. It did start showing a nute deficiency. It had some brown spots on lower leaves. I think it may have been magnesium deficiency. I looked at pics online and it seems to look like it. I added some calmag and hope it will correct the issue. I'll just keep my eyes peeled for new issues and attempt to correct as necessary. The plant is getting to be quite large now for the space I have so on Saturday I switched to 12/12 lighting. I had an 8" oscillating fan blowing on the plant and had to hang it from the tents ceiling because the plant was brushing against it even though the fan was against the corner. I've been moving the light up every day or so to try to keep the light as close as possible without harming it. I'm getting a dehumidifier Friday because humidity is up around 70% and I've read that between 30-50% is where you want it for flower. I like how it's gone so far and I've definitely been learning a lot. I just hope I can finish this out good and don't run into any more problems. As usual any and all suggestions, comments, or constructive criticism are appreciated. Thanks guys!

P. S... I apologize for the lighting in these pictures.

Those ripples in the leaves indicate humidity levels may be lower than need be but other than that, looks near perfect. Nice job!

So it's been a while since I have updated you guys. It's been roughly 3 weeks since I flipped this plant to 12/12. It's currently not looking too great. I'd like your opinions on the issue. I know the upper leaves are too close to the light. It's currently not hanging from straps and only hanging from the bars. I can't really raise it any more. I am also not sure as to what deficiencies I am experiencing. I am using Big Bud powder nutrient added to filtered water ( filtered through charcoal filters )and PH'd to 6.5 now. Also added a bit of Calmag a couple times. Both are being used now at 1/2 strength. Looks like I may have overdosed it once but that was near the beginning of flower. Now leaves are continuing to turn yellow/brown and die off. Any idea why? I don't want her to die Thank you so much everyone!

No one knows?

Any help or tips at all?

5 days and nothing? Anyone able to offer any tips?
