Thank you for following along so far, here's my Week 6 break down: 3/4 plants started flowering (non lst, blue and stunted plant) I've added a Mars Hydro TS600 to the setup to cover more square footage. The plants love it but it's been a battle keeping temps down with the lighting and summer heat. I switched to EC measurements and set it to 1.7 across all plants, pH is in the 5.9/6.0 range. They seem to be responding well with rapid growth and healthy leaves. I also introduced a bit of GH Armor SI to my water before the nutrients are added. Jacks 321, so simple and easy to use for me, also cost effective. My formula is switched to a 421 now Per 4 gallons: Armor SI - 1ml Jacks 4 - 2 tsp Jacks 1 - .2 tsp (cutting back on epsom) Jacks 3 - 1.6 tsp pH down as needed I've been doing some light defoliating on older, weaker leaves but that's it.. this tent is getting packed! I do want to defoliate more but have heard mixed reviews and don't want to mess with my plants too much. What are your thoughts? The stunted plant in the back right has taken off, I topped her as an experiment and it seems to have responded well, she's the tallest at this time at about 25". I've been battling temp, humidity and electrical problems. I introduced an AC to help battle temp and humidity but it over loaded my circuits since I have another AC going in another room. I just have to have only one AC running at a time (they are portable). Next time I won't be growing during summer months, it's just too much of a hassle. If I do it would be 1 or 2 plants at most. A dehumidifier is definitely in the cards, I tried one off Amazon that claimed 600+ sq ft but wasn't doing a thing. If you have suggestions for a 4x4, leave me a comment! PEACE

Am I doing LST correctly? I have the main stem bent down and believe there are new stems coming up.

Check the pics, is this a light or nutrient issue? The leaves were super bright yellow/green near the stems.

It's quite hard to tell with the pictures because grow lights tend to make the leaves look a little different then in reality. I'd say for an auto and in dwc you are probably at the top end of the Ec for your nutes. I'd be tempted to increase your ph to 6 from 5,8 incase any nutes are being locked out.

When my autoflowers head into flowering, do I or can I add any additional additives or nutrients to it? I've heard of people running Jack's 321 all the way through. Currently my PPM is around 800. This question might be suited for people that use Jacks 321 exclusively.

You can but it's not necessary. If you decide to, the amounts would be different for autoflower and photoperiod.

I had an extra light sitting around from another kit, a Mars Hydro TS600. I went ahead and set it up in my tent, are there any negatives to more lights?I now have a 4x4 with Mars Hydro TSW2000 and TS600.

As long as your LUX and temps remain in check you can add as many lights as you like. :) Get a cheap Amazon LUX meter if you don't have one. Seedling - 10-15k LUX Veg - 15-30k LUX Flower 30-45k LUX Do NOT go over 50k LUX it can start bleaching the buds. For temp's make sure the canopy of your plants do NOT go over 84F

looking so nice, about your LST question yes but I would recommend using another type of tying, other than spun rope, it is better to use the ones sold in garden stores, green and soft so as not to damage with chafing. 🙏

@Seedsman, Thank you for the feedback! I'll grab some of those from my local hydro store. I actually have my eyes on the next grow and was looking into your BOGOF deals, I just purchased an AirCube system so I'm excited for that next grow (and 2nd grow) already!
