Gave them a bit of a trim at the urging of @Todzilla. Started feeding them, and stopped using filtered water. To get over the deficiency I put a tiny amount of calmag, but I don't think that'll be a regular thing. Everyone here has been super helpful. Especially around diagnosing the nutrient deficiency so quick! Since we are a bit over half way, I thought I would write down some of the things I have learned so far: * My pots are too big. This has been good in some ways, they take more water, but also are resilient to overwatering a bit more * The tent needs to be setup somewhere relatively cool, and with easy access to somewhere to vent outside * The tent has flaps on the side to let you increase ventilation * Have a stick/ruler about the right length for distance to lights so it's easy to see the top of the plants are a safe distance to the lights * Biobizz nutrients are great * Don't use filtered water * Get some glasses, green tinted lenses ideally ones specifically for LED lights. I tried a few different types before setting on the vivosun branded ones * Trimming the lower leaves seems to make the plants happier * Manual watering is a lot less stressful than drip watering * I used these little plastic bending things for LST, but in retrospect I think they damaged the stems a little. I should have used thick wire and bought pots with more than just handles, but with loops to anchor the training to. * PH Meters are v. useful * Some form of PH Down is a must * In soil meters are pretty useless * Label your plants so if you shuffle them around you can keep track of them * It's good to order extra of the hooks you can hang from the roof and can adust the height of * Autos from the same breeder and same variety can bloom at different times * Flowering looks like hairs * Use pipettes for meauring liquid food * What a deficency caused by too little Cal/Mag looks like

You can defiantly start now if you would like. I pull my plant over to start it growing horizontal to give the branches the most light and also even the canopy out. I hope this helps.

Any idea what is causing this crisping on a few of my leaves? I am maybe seeing some slight curling/taco-ing on the upper leaves too? I think the PH might be a bit high in my water too, it's 7. I've ordered a filter and some PH Dwon, the PPM was only 250. Related?

Heat and RH stress with strong feeds + maybe lights. Tacoing leaves is normal for plants that are to hot with low RH and need more fresh air, This can also happen with light stress. The spacing between your nodes is a bit compact not the worst so can also try lowering the lights intensity. Good Luck!

So two of my plants have flowered, however a third seems somewhat shorter and doesn't seem to have Pistil. Is this plant not yet flowering, is it male, or is something else going in here. Looks healthy other than that.

Hello, It looks like a late bloomer. I would check every day once but to me she just looks like she needs more time for the flip. Auto's do what they want when they want and not every seed is the same so she may grow different and later also maybe smell and taste different. I would wait a little more just to be sure. Hope this helps.

Lower leaves are turning yellow, these seem to be one that are hidden a bit from sight, so possibly not getting enough light, but it seems to be spreading, and one of them has fallen off. Is this some form of nutrient difficiency, or something simipler?

It looks like you are dealing with a nitrogen deficiency. Since nitrogen is mobile, the plant is sucking the nitrogen from the lower leaves and redistributing it to new growth. It also appears like you could be starting to deal with a calcium issue as well. I suggest using a CalMag at the manufactured recommended dose. Increase your feeding by roughly 20%. Make sure you are watering enough to get roughly 10-20% run off out the bottom. Hope this helps.

She needs a haircut. Just pull off those lower leaves that aren't getting direct light and drive some airflow under the plant.

@Todzilla, Do you have a good reference guide for what sort of pruning etc I should be doing? Do you think this is the cause of the yellowing leaves?

Nice way to make sure you're gonna cover full of the area (planting as much as possible 👏👏) Good luck and happy growing ✊

Fed them, and the spread seems to have stopped. I was also using filtered water, when I should have been using just tap water. I live somewhere where there is enough nutrients in the water if you don't filter them out cal/mag wise. Still, the biobizz seems to be making them very happy, I wish I had used it before.

Got some Biobizz feed arriving today, hopefully will get these hungry girls a meal.
