What lights do you have exactly?

Hey guys, do you know what’s causing this? Is it concerning? Appears to be getting worse on one of my Runtz babies, starting to happen to my Lemon Amnesia babies, but others seem like no change in sour diesels, not worse not better. I’m only watering and I’ve fed calmag twice in their life and only a fraction of recommended dose.
Also, I’m folding some of the bigger leaves under the new growth to expose to light, I’m not using any training wire or string, it’s probably hard to see in photos but could you check out what I’ve done and tell me if it looks good?

I do have the lights turned up really high, they’re bloom plus bp3000 (300W) each hanging in a 4x8 32in above the top of plants. I wasn’t sure if at this point in early veg they need lots of light.

If it's a quality genetic it can take max light at 20" with max food and rapid water intervals. I give them dim light until the moment they can handle max. Feed feed feed. And last few weeks of flower dim to maybe 80%. If at all. A bit of brown tips is fine. As long as overall growth is rapid and stout.

Nice info, thanks man. I needed a benchmark on where I should be with the light.

I heard Franc Moody is proven to increase yield

Thanks man! Yes, my plan is to fully harvest the autos, while leaving the photos in veg. I figure it will give me a practice run, before flowering the photos! I’ll keep updating, I really appreciate the reply. View attachment 1990743View attachment 1990744View attachment 1990745View attachment 1990746
I would never grow autos in the same tent as photos again. I really don't think you can unless you have a very tall tent. Otherwise you will be topping the photos too often. That is just off the top of my head. Nope I wouldn't do it.

It is entirely doable though, super cropping and some lst and presto.

Hopefully you have a second tent, trying to grow autos and photos in same tent can work but is not ideal. Autos want 18 hours of light or more, photos need to be at 12 or less to flower. I guess you could grow the auto out all the way while vegging the photos for that whole time, or you could switch light to 12/12 to put photos in flower, but the autos would grow smaller with the reduced amount of light. Not ideal but you do have options if it's the only tent. Other then that they look good.
I've done that before but like you said, I got less yield. Even if I only had one tent I'd probably still grow autos with them though. I always have a couple of autos running just to guarantee frequent harvests.

They look fine. That weirdness on the leaves is pretty common with inbred cannabis and it should grow out of it.

I don't know but is it possible the autos won't finish in time? Unless he does a 70+ day veg? If the autos and photos were started at the same time.....
I’m hoping for the best, I’ll get another tent soon and manage accordingly.
