I am trying to help. So don’t get mad.
Bro... no she does not look good. She looks sad. I ask you. Do your plants look happy.... perky ...? No they don't... they look droopy and sad. Like they have WAY too much light and WAY too many nutes (you have tip burn) and are most likely over watering them. Back way off on the light and the nutes.
You can tell if you are over watering.... over feeding... or have too much light. Your plants stop growing, tips burn, leafs cower from the light, leaves are ridged, and are pointing down (cowering from the light) For nutes… 500 ppm for veg max.... 800 ppm max for flower if you are in coco or hydro. Don't forget cal/mag. If you are in soil you really don’t need to feed until week 6 of flower. And then only a little bit of a bloom nutrient. Doing less is more. It is a house plant. I hope you don’t think that I am being over critical. But there are a lot of people who think they know what a "good plant" looks like. They are clueless. It is a plant. It is going to do what it wants to do. Not what you want it to do. You can’t make it do anything faster. Growing is a very slow process. More of anything is just going to hurt your plants. Go to youtube and watch hydrohybrid on youtube.... or the “growboss” on youtube. They show you what good plants should look like. Big. Bright Green, Perky, huge buds…. Keep pressing you will get there... just don't believe what most people will tell you. They will tell you LEDs are awesome, they are not (they can grow good bud but only if you are a very good grower… most of them suck because the light is way to concentrated)… The only good LEDs cost $1500 and why would you do that if a T5 with the same watts will make the same bud for 1/100th the cost) , nutes matter (they don’t) all nutes are the same. only thing that matters is PPM as long as you are using a complete one part or 2 part or even 3 part base nutes (go at least half strength of manufacturer recommendation… you can alway move up from there), and you should water a lot (over watering is really bad for the plant. you are killing the roots)… You should only water when the plant pot goes dry. Pick up the pot you will feel the weight and know if you need to water. Pot size matters and is as follows. seedling / clone solo party cup. Week 4 (first week of veg) 1 gallon pot / Flower 5 to 7 gallon pot. You should only need to water once a week. Maybe at the end of flower. If you have a massive plant…twice a week. Don’t add nutes every time you water. every other time or even every third time is usually more than enough. If you don’t want to get rid of your LED raise that bad boy up as high as it will go and make sure you have a canopy that takes up your whole grow space. That is really the only way LEDs work well… which is why a T5 is way better (they are cooler and the light is spread out more). HPS work well in flower as well. In an indoor garden you only get maybe a foot of light penetration. Veg is really where the work is done. Lots of topping and grow a very wide, big plant. That way it can suck up the photons that LED (or better yet T5 or HPS) is putting out. Once you get to flower it is really down hill from there. As long as you don’t give her too much light, too many nutes, or over water her … you just wait for her to finish up. Last thing. Do you know how the nutrient manufacturers figure out concentration? I will tell you. It is based on a 1000 watt light. For a 1000 watt light you need a 5 x 5 grow area that is completely filled with canopy. If you do not have 5 x 5 completely filled and are not using a 1000 HPS light (or it’s equivalent) then you need to use what is appropriate for the size of pants and lights you have (which will be way less then they recommend). of course once the Feds make weed legal and it is coming make no mistake… all of this is a mute point. You can put the plant in the ground outside in good soil and magic will happen.You can grow 10 pound monsters. Once that happens weed will go to $50 an ounce and LEDs or any other grow lights will be a non issue. Because of course nothing is as cheap or good as the sun. oh and the sun can penetrate 20 feet….. not 1 foot like any indoor light and it doesn’t cost anything :)
