New grower saying hi! Current grow!

[boomgagem]

Hey guys, new to the forums and growing. I’m sure you all know how the first grow is, sitting around wanting to stare at the girls all day, worrying if you’re doing everything right lol.

First grow:
32x32x63 - bought an amazon kit :/
Cheap 4” exhaust and filter combo that came with kit.
Cheap “600w” led that came with the kit. After lots of reading, I’ve already ordered a HLG 260w rspec lol
Using the Flora trio, growing in 70/30 coco/perlite, with calmag and orca. Thinking about adding the floranectar later in flower (advice welcome).

So far, everything has been perfect. Here are a few pics starting with them on 4/21 first day after sprout, until today, 2 weeks in. All 3 are super silver haze with one looking like a different pheno or something, enjoy!

Also, any advice or recommendations are welcome!

Just a quick update, I attempted “fimming” on Tuesday, so it’s been 3 days since, and I see growth, but of course being new it worries me how they look where I cut.

Rookie here but from what I see looks good. One may be a little too much??? I femmed a couple colas on my Dracarys about a week or so before I flipped to help the others catch up. Loos like it worked pretty well.

Update:

tomorrow will be 3 weeks since sprout, everything looks to be going ok. The fim job I tried didn’t work, so I topped at the next node. Installed the new hlg 260w v2 rspec, and they seem to like the change. The one in the last of the pics seems to be different from the other 2. You can see where I messed up fimming. There’s also a couple of spots on one of the leaves, not all of them show it, is there anything I should be concerned with? Also, I’ve noticed my runoff ppm is lower than what I’m putting in, pH is a little bit higher, normal? Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the farm looks a good set up do you keep you pots / bags up off tent floor better to have a good air gap under them warmer dryer roots aids in plant health and better drainage .regards OD .

Update:

Starting to get some yellowing on the tips. I’ve been feeding half strength of the schedule, once per day. About 6 days ago, I jumped up to the amounts on the schedule, basically doubling the feed. I’ve since backed down to where I was and am going to feed twice a day now. Runoff ppm is still much lower than what I feed. Ppm intake is around 300, but runoff ppm is 150. Anything I should be worried about?

Also, roots are growing through the bottom of the 3 gal smart pot, and I’m also seeing roots at the surface :(

I’m curious about the GH Flora series instructions you posted. I’m using the same nutes, or at least I think I am, but the measurements on my bottles are vastly different. Other than in the seedling stage, everything on my bottles shows full tsp numbers. For example, I’m in mid flower now and my instructions say 1 tsp gro, 2 tsp micro, 3 tsp bloom per gallon of water. I’ve been using 1/2 that to be safe, but it’s odd that your instructions are so different.

yeah, today is 4 weeks since sprout, and I’m giving 1/4 tsp micro, 1/4 tsp grow, and 1/8 tsp bloom. Also giving 1/4 tsp calmag and 1 ml of orca for the roots. Everything has been fine until I noticed the leaf tips of new growth turning yellow
