imma 50 year old personal i.e not a commercial grower, been learning by mistakes and experience, I always knew the basic stuff, but 30 yrs on, technology change, I began with LED (not great tbh), have gone to CDM Philips 315w 930 bulb, powered by Maxibright Daylight Ballast, amazing & economic, I use Canna & Coir as my medium & nutes, I use half the "sales" feed charts, as the girls let me know what they want.
I'm in the UK, London & am always looking for tips.

1m x 1m x 2m (high) tent.

Welcome to 420 mag. Nice trichomes on them pic's.

 

[StoneOtter]

Welcome Matt. Edit: That doesn't look right.

Those were old, 2 crops ago, with about 4 weeks to go, the lighting has been manipulated. They look happy enough, however, the PH levels were high, I am now a proud owner of a digital tester.
The yield was low, I have learned & continue to do so.
Thank you for your response & welcome to 420, only 3 daze late lol.
I'm more confident about my methodology, also, my old LED system was not the best.
I'll start a journal, OG Gelato x 5, Himalayan Gold x 2, 6 days in.

Just a couple of shots, via fixed lighting lol, of day 10 of vegetative stage, They're growing great guns, won't let up till they achieve maximum pre-stretch height, internode distance, at this early time, look great.
I love growing weed.
Much Love

They are looking good! Not sure it might be your lighting making them look that way but they do look a tad on the pale side.

Hi @Matt90, welcome!

 

[Matt90]

It's not easy to take photographs with them in situ, they do look pale, however I can assure you that the plants are healthy and very green, I didn't take them in daylight, as I am not a keen photographer, and my phone is my camera!
I'm not worried about the "pale" appearance, as in reality, the girls are happy developing as per usual at this stage.

PS Thank you Emma, I feel like I'm in the right place

Ok, I took the "looking pale" comments and acted on it, 3 were not as green as should be, solved in a couple of hours, as I'm using airpots, I decided to nute feed/flush at ph 5.7.
Ensuring that the run off was less than 6.5, in fact, it was ph exactly 5.72 (run off).
And all new growth is far greener & was already, although these ladies seem to demand nutes!
Back to 50% of "chart guides".
I'm using Canna throughout, although I do have Plant Magic "Platinum" (PK 9/18), which is a beautiful nute for the final 4 weeks of flowering, before Flushing,
I'm now grateful; confident that I've got this crop in control.
Much Love
Matt
