Weekly update day 30 on my 2 autos. but one of my young plants developed rust spots on the first set of leaves so I snipped them in fear of it being an infection and not a deficiency hopefully I did the right thing the other young babies are not showing these symptoms and are doing great any feed back would help

Nope, cutting the leaves off a plant that young is not a good idea, it will slow its growth big time
. The spots could be from your PH being off, but it looks like a cal deficiency. I subbed to the thread and will keep an eye on your grow, feel free to message me if you need some info.

Great pic BTW, very clear, helps a lot. Just a few things how's your temps looking with the lights on and the grow room as it would be if your not around? Is the room getting fresh outside air once or twice a day? Does your big girl have red/purple stems? What kind of water do you give them?

@Hotboxbudz I buy a few gallons of distiled water when I can, I also folair spray with it this is my first grow foliar spraying everyday. when I run out of distiled I refill with tap water, let it sit with the cap off for a day to let the chlorine evaporate also I use half drinken and forgotten bottled waters. Humidity is pretty low 30-40% temps inside the closet stay around 80'f right now the house I live in has a dehumidifier system and I have a dehumidifier in the closet as well but I'm not running it at the moment I will once my autos In mid flower. I open a window every once in awhile to let in some fresh air but not to often as I'm not trying to providing ac to the whole hood as dad would say. And I have a blanket over the window to keep the strange purple lights out of anyone's view so that limits how much fresh air it gets I have a fan pumping in air 24/7 but no exhaust besides when I open up the door. Sorry about the messy grow room I've been busy with work and haven't had time to take care of cleaning etc. but I've been successful with this setup once before without a ph and ppm meter in winter time with no fresh co2 . I'm confident I can do it again. I feel like I have to master this basic shit before I can go on to the next level. And please enlighten me on the purple stems I've read like 3 different articles that all say different things....

Yeah I saw your last harvest, you did good for your 1st time. Everything your doing sounds good from your last post. I would encourage you to buy a PH tester, even a cheap one is better then nothing. It might not be as accurate, but it will show you if something is way off.
The purple stems can be just the strain, but 9 times out of 10 it is due to a magnesium deficiency. You can fix it easy with Epsom salts, its cheap and can be found at almost any drug store like cvs.

Dude you read my mind thanks for all the input @Hotboxbudz ! I have been contaplating getting Epson salt and aloe leaves putting them in the blender juicing them strain it and the dilute with water and then feed. This is all the bud I have left from last harvest

I'm sure you know this, but I got to say it. This time you really should let them flower longer. You could of had 2 or 3 times what you did. Patience pays off in this game.

I thought and felt I was was flowering for ever man. I fucked some shit up and my setup made my whole upstairs smell like puke and rotten oj rookie mistakes. and it's what forced me to harvest and i had seen 1or 2 Amber trichombs so I thought it would be a appropriate time. On other note day 30. Of flower I smelled a nice arroma when I opens the door and at a closer inspection I found this
