Opinions on my Heavyweight Turbo Bud Auto

[jcal03s]

Hey guys, just wanted to get some opinions on my ladies and possibly some suggestions on what kind of nutrients to use during flowering. They're both Heavyweight Turbo Bud grown straight from the seed.

Here's my current setup:

300W Mars Hydro LED
x2 5 Gallon Smart Pot Grow Bags
Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil

Left side is on day 32, and right side is on day 29 due to a little mix up at germination. (pictures taken 2/23). They've received nothing but water so far.

Here's a couple pics with the LED off.

They look very happy and healthy to me! I'm open to any and all kind of suggestions and feedback, so feel free!

UPDATE: 2/24. The right side plant is drooping pretty hard today. Looks a little like overwatering maybe? If anyone could share some insight that would be great.

Starting to get a little worried now. Haven't watered in 48 hours and both are now drooping hard. New fan leaf growth on the left is YELLOW .

In my sig is a link to the proper way to water a plant. I suggest you read it in full and follow the instructions..
The number of days since last watering or how much you gave it doesnt matter. You should use the left method and only water when your plants ask for it and water properly
Nutes. Youre far behind feeding your plant. Fox farm nutes suggest you start as a seedling. Most start at around two weeks or about when you have 4 nodes in height. Your plants need FOOD. Feed them. Ill post the FF on-line sched...dont follow the instructions on the bottle, use the On line schedule.

Thanks for the reply. Going to get some Foxfarm nutes later on today. Kind of afraid to cut it and water though considering the state of the plants. Should I get all three shown in the schedule or would Big Bloom just be alright? Here's some pictures of what they look like today.

The yellowing:

Cut it? Why would you cut it?
Id get all three. They are concentrated and with smaller grows will last a LONG time.
Since your flowering, Id start at sched week 5 and go thru week 7 and keep that up until you feel youre two weeks out from harvest, then go to week 11-12. Thats what Im planning to do...but always keep and eye open and make adjustments as needed.
Id get some CalMag too..its cheap. My Calmag suggests 1 tsp per gallon and I give my plants that EVERYTIME I water.

But again..read the post I linked too...and follow it. If you do then you hit the nail on the head as far as watering goes..no over watering or under. My 5 gallon pots with FFOF soil needsd watering every week at 1 gallon. That doesnt mean I water it every week...its just telling me that i give it what its telling me it needs.
The lift method works. Your soil should be bone dry, BONE dry before you water again.

I meant cut it with water, as recommended at the top of the schedule. How much roughly should I give them once I've made the mix? About a cup full? I'm just wary to water them because of how they look is all. I hope I haven't created any permanent damage to them. It sounds like I was watering FAR too often. Still a bit of a noob.

Read the article located at the bottom of this post about watering..

Read the article....

Your plants look OK...Theyre very resilient...
They will be FINE until they NEED watering again. Add the nutes and Calmag at that time

 

[jcal03s]

I did read it. Reading it doesn't change the fact that I was watering with virtually no method to my madness, which I should not have been doing. I realize that.

And ok, just wanted to make sure that they would pull through. I'll be picking up those nutes today. Thanks for your help.

 

[Jamesnns]

When your pots are bone dry and your plants need watering. Add your nutes to 1 gallon of water, Ph test if you can, and water until you get run off.
G'luch, they'll be fine

 

[jcal03s]

More yellowing today. I know you said not to worry but they just look so sad.

 

[jcal03s]

They're really not bouncing back it seems. Worse today again. Any suggestions?
