I am growing in a 3'x3'x6' grow tent. Four total plants in 5 gal buckets with holes drilled in them for air/drainage. I am using Fox Farm Ocean for my substrate with no added nutes for maybe the first few weeks. The seeds were 2 white widow max autos and 2 magnum autos. Ordered two more (will total 4) "300w" LED's.
I introduced the nutes at about the end of week 2 (1/4 strength). I plan on going to half strength near the end of week 3 into week 4. Mid way through the week I added two more 300w led's (156w true). Each plant now has a dedicated light. Some of the first leaves are bending or twisting a bit. I plan to ph my well water from now on. I also raised the lights from 13" to 18" out of fear I was hitting them with to much light. I also have a super slow grower (magnum 2) but havent given up on her yet.
The added light and short light distance seemed to stress them out last week. Once I raised the LEDs, the plants shot right up. The smaller one has a tiny amount of nute burn (she was also the tiny stunted one - magnum auto 2). The others seemed to take in the 1/4 nutes pretty well.
I started LST (very very lightly) this week. No noticable signs of deficiencies. All the plants seem to be speeding up growth along with the early stages of flowering. I will stick with this dosage of nutes throughout remainder of grow. Will introduce big bud and bud candy in the next couple of weeks. Slight droop as I just got back from a 4 day vacation (just watered).
Flowering has begun. Small nute burn on the edges of a few leaves on bottom of wwm1 but otherwise I haven't had any other problems this last week. It's been fun seeing it get bigger by the day.
I left for a vacation and during week 6-7 have experienced a bit of nute burn. Iv been giving a very small dose compared to the manufacturers instructions of the nutes. Overall though the plants have had pretty consistent growth over the last few weeks. The white widows have put on more bud size compared to the magnums but the magnums have been more resilient.
Some bottom leaves on the widows have died off or are starting to turn yellow. My stunted magnum 2 has still been able to get some good buds but over the last week it has developed a new issue. The magnum 2 may be harvested a tad early in the next 2 weeks. The magnum 1 has no seen issues and is double the size of magnum one. However the buds on magnum 1 are super small and airy compared to magnum 2. Both widows are coming along nicely and have developed a super strong smell that seems to increase daily.
