[3RD] CKS White Widow Auto (First Grow)

No your light source is very close and 360 so the plant doesnt need to stretch for light, ive never seen someone use led strips pretty cool idea but i would suggest getting a larger hooded or fanned light with a ballast hung from the celing where you can adjust the height accordingly

Hey Visco the yellow is a sign of nitrogen deficiency but there could be 2 causes on yours from what it looks like. It appears to be in the middle of its flowering stretch so it will need a lot of nitrogen to build those branches.It could just be that it needs some more nitrogen. The other is salt build up on the roots that is preventing them from absorbing nutrients. It is best to water until you get about 15% runoff from the bottom of the pot to prevent salt build up. Then make sure the top of the soil dries out quite a bit before watering again. Sorry I cant pinpoint 100% on this but hope this info gives you a little more insight to determine what it is. If you have not been watering until you get a good amount of runoff thrn this is going to be your issue. I would water with plain ph adjusted water for the next couple waterings. With 95 degree heat I assume the pot dries out pretty fast leaving a lot of salt behind. And the leaves look a dark shade of green so I think the nitrogen is there. Hope this gets you headed in the right direction. Good luck.

First grow very nice. The breeders use week estimates so always go by the trichomes color. Try not to jump the gun and flush too early it does happen. Just a guess you probably have at least 2-3 weeks to go. The buds continue to bulk up the most in the last few weeks. Typically When about 50% of the white pistils have turned orange I start checking the trichomes. If you have mostly all clear trichomes you can still give her a few more feedings. Once you see more 1/2 cloudy trichomes than clear trichomes you can start to flush her. Typically 10 to 14 days is more than enough. You will get better with this after a few grows. She's ready when she's ready. If you have a TDS or PPM meter run 7 to 9 gallons of water through your pot or until your runoff from the pot is within a 100-150 ppm of the flush water. You want to let her dry out before you water her again and keep up this wet/dry cycle until your runoff ppm are close to the flush water ppm. Typically within 7 days you will see it starting to steal nutrients from the lower leaves. If possible try to lower your temperature to 80 F or less to preserve the terpenes and lower your humidity to under 45% then 40% or lower. At 70% it could cause potential mildew issues. Most growers harvest with about 5% to 30% amber trichomes depending on what type of high you like. The main cola will typically be ready a little sooner than the lower buds. You can harvest in stages as they ripen. Think fall your trying to mimic the stress plants and trees go through to survive their environmental changes. You can also cut back on your lights the last couple of weeks to 18-20 hrs which will allow a nice nighttime temperature drop to pull some nice colors out of her. 👍
