This is my first grow so any observations, suggestions and advise would be greatly appreciated. Over the last two days they have started turning light green which I'm assuming means they are hungry so I'll be starting the feeding today at 1/4 strength and might go to half strength over the next week or so depending how they respond I guess.

Three of the plants are substantially bigger than the others, I'm not sure why the others are growing so much slower. It was also a lot cooler this week and I'm unable to regulate the room the tents in too much so it was about 5-10 degrees cooler at some points than I would have liked. Gave the plants a little bit of a feeding during the week as they were quite a light green colour, between the 7 of them they had 1.5ml of the Grow A+B and .5ml of the B-52. Being my first grow I haven't yet been able to identify what colour they should be, and what they will look like when they need feeds etc, so any help with that would be awesome. Thanks!

hey bro , i saw the Brown Spots, it does not look like any deficiency i know or saw , i think it is a sunburn it may be because 1. indoor plants does not have that thick leave Struktur like outdoor ones, so when u put them in sun directly ,it happens that the leaves get sunburns a little 2. i saw in the first week that your leaves were dropping water while under Light , this could be the reason too, u should never spray water on the leaves while under Light try do fix those both and see if you are gonna get more brown spots or not . i hope i was helpful :D

Started LST and some tucking (not sure if it has a better name) this week. I did the 3 bigger girls on the 5th, another one on 8th, and the smaller two right after I took these photos today and the bigger ones also got adjusted. There's been a lot of new growth from the lower canopy coming through which is great to see, the canopy on one of the plants has nearly become an even. They're drinking quite a lot more this week.

They have really filled out this week, a lot of the new growth is now long enough that I'm able to spread and tie it down.

Quite a lot of pistils this week. The leaves on 2-3 of the plants are looking a little concerning, all the new growth is very thin and some seems to be twisting a little, doesn't look right,

I've had some trouble the past couple of days with over/under watering, I'm still not confident that I can differentiate between the two which has been causing me more problems! If anyone has good advice on how to diagnose or avoid it that would be very helpful. I'm not very happy with how the grow is coming along. It is my first grow so it's all been a learning experience, I've definitely learnt a lot that I'm keen to apply to the next grow and I guess running into problems and learning how to fix them is all part of the journey.

I've had some issues with over/under watering this grow (which is my first) and especially the past two days which is a little frustrating as I can't yet differentiate between the two, can anyone give me solid advice to identify and/or avoid under/over watering? Thanks!

I dont agree . In samrtpots to watr until there is a runoff is no good idea. Smartpots keeping everything very well together..... that means the water collects at the bottom of the pot. And does nt runoff. wateringregime is the hardest part indoors ( in my opinion) you can go with the potlifting methodof weighing your pots. : weigh/ lift your pots if you feel everything is dry ( knuckledeep dry and a dry bottom of the smartpot. remember that weigh and water your plants witharound 750 ml...... that should be good for around 2-3 days. then water gain if you reached the " dry weight" of the pot. I do it different, i tend to water everything but less. so i have a dry_wet circle ( a short one but there is one) and i can give them daily the average amount. Ive needed around 4-5 grows to find out a good watering regime that fits to me.
