How does this mom gooey look from a first time grower?

[Jxl-420]

I know some people dont like these posts but i also know some do and dont mind giving a little feedback. This is my first grow, im growing Mom Gooey, using black gold organic soil, flora trio, calimagic, ph'ed tap water to 6.5, have my runoff at 6.0, 3 led grow lights above that are supposed to be 50 watt each, and 2 side leds 25 watt each. Temp is 75-80 during the day, about 69-73 f at night, humidity 35% right now. Im on day 39 of flower. Sprouted july 26, shes 3 ft 8 in. Let me know your thoughts, how have i done?

Don't see why people wouldn't like the post, your girls look good to me. Admittedly I'm fairly new myself. 3 harvests 4th is almost ready. The only critique I can offer is, she looks a bit stretched. But that could be her youth showing.
You may consider upgrading your lights. With those cheapies only sucking 50w from the wall that actually explains her strength. The little one in the pic is under a mars hydro ts 600. It only pulls 100w from the wall but the output is awesome.

Doesn’t look so bad, but I’d have those light as close as I can to get the most out of them. You wouldn’t have all that stretching with good light. Check this out..

Well I want you to strive for greatness, man.

Small node spacing makes for a stronger plant.

 

[HydroKid239]

That plant is 14 days from sprout.

Edit: No worries.. FFOF watered in with a little cal mag to get that color back. Already on it.

And if you would like a real answer,

1) I love my stacks. Stacking buds is important -1 point
2) I see no super cropping or training and a lot of stretching -3.5 points
3) leaves pointing toward the ground aka "clawing" - 0.5 point
4) nutrient burn or salt buildup on the fans - 0.5 point

For your first grow, I congratulate getting it here! Now you must prepare for da chop

For the setup.. I think that’s perfect bro! And that’s all you need to do is tweak it to perform even better next time and just look for feedback like @HydroKid239 said.
There’s always a next level! Next, chop it, dry it, cure it, consume it, report back!

thanks!

I respect how you broke that down

Just to give you an idea, this is how close my light is to her. The back of your hand is a decent gauge of how close your girl can get without it burning her. Too hot for your hand, too hot for her. Note: this is not a good method for avoiding light bleaching. My first 3 grows looked like that.

Hell yeah i understand this was her at 14 days, plan on upgrading my lights but this was ny first run. I wanted to learn and make sure i could do it

I already learned from the previous 5 plants. 4 of them drying now, but I picked up some knowledge on the lighting game. I don't have the best, but I got WAY better than the blurples I have in my closet somewhere. I got 3 strains going now. About to update my thread in a little bit.

I'd pull those branches back and at the same time while moving away from the light.. it opens up the branches to get that light on the lower growth = less larfy shit.

lol hey man i topped that plant and did some defoliating at the bottom, pretty high stress
But yea i couldnt avoid the nutrient burn, it got me screwed up my first feeding and didnt do a half dose and its been haunting me since, and i will definitely move my lights closer and upgrade when i can.
thank you so much for your feedback man, it means alot

I'm working on my LST game. She was the first I've tried it on. Most I just bend, I'm still learning also. Right now I'm having a bitch of a time getting them to survive their first planting.

The topping is a good start. Now you know how that works with the bottom branches becoming their own colas;
You seem to know where to improve for next time & that's what matters. Versatility in the garden goes a long way and that only comes with experience such as you are having with the nute burn. Lights are a thing that are constantly chuckled over ; find one that works for you. Pay more attention to the actual wattage in correlation to your space and forget about reading the marketing materials.

I will sub to a journal if you start one for your next grow.

Good job for the first time again. Catch ya around homie!
