Im new to this

[Mukmillz]

I got 13 plants going in a 48x36x48 tent with 600w led about 26 inches away from the plants I'm using promix with sustane 8-2-4 tried to make a super soil.. I water every 2 days I spray foliage 3times a day light schedule 18-6 .. I also have roots organic trinity and budda bloom .. humidity stays in between 60%- 75% I keep the temperature at 22- 23 c I have a fan sucking air out and another blowing air around

I'm open to tips learning is what I'm here for !! Plants broke seed on the 7th of may had a little burning on some the leaves.. I think they're growing slow they 5 inches tall.. the stems are still very slim

this one below looks strange can anyone tell me what might be the problem??

looking good!

They look great. I use Promix and haven't had any problems in decades. One thing regarding some of the potions that are out there... I don't use anything but regular 20-20-20 fertilizer, or a flowering blend if flowering, along with some wood ashes mixed in. It's terribly easy to over feed plants, especially small plants, that aren't growing at full strength yet. More often than not, it ill cause deficiency issues or nute burn... slowing you down much more than if you had done nothing. I'd re-pot them and keep doing what you are doing. My #1 recommendation is to go easy on fertilizer. The plants are small and too much is harder to fix than not enough.

Your plants look good. I would say the one plant issue you mentioned is pH related.

Thanks man! Friday was the first time using the roots organic trinity I aslo topped my plants Friday to and they loved it I see alot new growth and thickening in the stem but I noticed that some of the stems little white specks on them do happen to know what that is .. the leaves on the deformed looking plant looks a little better it grew some more

I was told that I don't have to pay to much attention to ph because of the fertilizer I'm using in my medium/ I was thinking I should monitor it anyways

Since space is limited when should I change the light cycle I was thinking in two weeks

Since space is limited when should I change the light cycle I was thinking in two weeks

With Photos..it's up to the grower.
I go by two things..height (18" here) since some stretch 3x or more, and sexual maturity. (alternating nodes). I find that I get the best potency and yield this way. However, I also flower in a spare bath tub with high ceilings so those plants can veg longer. I don't need the yield, but always want potency.

My tents are 6 ft high and I supercrop extensively to control height (up to 3 weeks in flower). That also has a price as the plants bush out more.

Like @Buzzer777 sez, the alternate growth pattern is what I call the full vegetation mode. It makes it harder to pinch/top the plant as the structure changes. I personally grew a lot of Sativa and Sativa dominant strains and prefer to allow things to get taller, which also increases the yield considerably because the plant grows differently once it reaches full veg growth. Side branch development kicks in and each branch can be like the main stem of a smaller plant. Indica strains and hybrids are faster to grow buds and to finish them, making them great for most tent grows. The answer to your question has a lot to do with your desires, strains, and plans for the crop. The longer you go with Sativa, the larger the yield and better the product. Indica plants don't benefit as much from longer seasons and should be taken down when ripened. Determining when to harvest is another issue altogether!

I switched to 2 gallon pots today and look like I might have spider mites on one so rinse all them down I'm get some ladybugs later but all are very healthy I'm change the water cycle from every 2 days I'm water for 2 days then wait 2 days then repeat no new fertilizer think about getting a root stimulator
Before transplant

after transplant

their roots some have more root then other

 

[Jimster]

I don't know if you have dealt with spider mites, but they are difficult to get rid of and don't appear to do much damage at first. Ladybugs might help, but unless you are outside or have a totally sealed room that you can let a few hundred ladybugs loose ...
Even a light dose of them can cause issues, although some strains are fairly immune to them.
Black Diesel isn't. Some are Trichomes, some aren't. … and these are from bugs killed over a month ago.

MONITOR OR DIE!! THE ONE THING YOU CAN'T SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON IS MONITORING THE PH AND PPM'S OF THE WATER AND THE FOOD

yEEOW, I don't want to touch that one! Did BT fix it?

BT didn't touch them, nor did Dr Dead Bug or something like that. I used a pyrethrin based fogger which seemed to take care of most of them. The plant next to this one is untouched... I guess they are picky eaters. And they all came from a small clone that someone gave to me, after I gave them a bunch of cuttings to help them get started. He cloned a few and gave me a couple back. Gee, thanks!!

 

[Mukmillz]

I didnt have spider mite thank goodness!!! So it's been a while here what's been going on! The ladies been in there 2 gallons pot for all a week now they are loving it. getting bushy especially ones that I have topped. So my space got over crowded so I removed 2 plants think about 2 more plants to keep my rh down and allow plants to get more even more bushy . I've been doing alot of low stress training!! I have to say these ladies are resilient .. I could stress them hell out within hours their perky and flirty dance in the wind. Lol for real tho!! I still haven't ph my water I know I know .. but i haven't seen any deficiency yet little nute burn but nothing they haven't grown out of .. i haven't watered since last Saturday just been spraying the foil with Epsom salt mixed water for a week then last night gave them a nice helping of epsom salt water straight in the soil .. what I noticed since using the Epsom salt my plants are greener and the lower branches if there were any or not have started to come up for or starting growing altogether.. stem is getting thicker plants are at 10 inches . So I have a question. When can I start the defoliation to get better light to the insides my plants?

 

[Buzzer777]

The sun will heat those BLACK plastic grow bags and the roots will suffer..You could wrap a light colored scrap(s) of carpet or something.

 

[Mukmillz]

The area they're in only get about 2 hours of direct sunlight do you think it's going to a problem ? And is that enough for them to grow in that spot?

In our Hot Nevada sun, black anything is a problem
2 hrs of direct sun is low..mine get about 6-7 hrs of desert sun.

I'm in Michigan but I'm surrounded by trees unless I put them in the front by the way those ladies are gorgeous
