Posting an update on one of the plants looking for any more advice/tips. Its now day 44 from germ and since its still my first grow I don't have anything to compare it to in regards to its size for an auto. This one being super short has me wondering. As you can see I now have some spots on the leaves and some are not as green as they probably should be.
I'm still struggling with the ph of the runoff water after each watering. I've cut the nutes out except very little cal mag every other watering. My water sits at room temp now for 24 hours before I water. The stems also feel pretty stiff now compared to that of when in it was in veg. Is it normal for the stems to stiffen up a bit when it goes into flower? For example I fell like If i were to bend the stems as I did when training it during veg Id now be on the verge of it snapping.
From the top of the soil to the top of the tallest flower is less than 10 inches. The LED's are 22" from the top of the plant.
I watered this plant last night as the pot was super light. The water going ins ph was 6.2, ppm was 515. Runoff was right at 7.0 and ppm was 730. I've watered this plant a few times since this original post at 6.2-6.5 ph and cant seem to get the runoff below 7. I've been recording all these numbers each watering to keep track but tbh since I'm still new I'm still trying to understand ppm and what I'm looking for in regards to that number.
