Nice job getting this far. Looks like you got something going on with the one on the left? Is that leaf damage from earlier in it's life, or more recent?

What type of soil mixture? light? water/light schedule? nutes? How long did these veg for?

Youre absolutely right. Theyre growing in ffof with added perlite. I've been top dressing with down to earth organics 4-4-4. They're growing under a kingbrite 320 watt QB led. I just fed the one on the left liquid miracle grow all purpose. I was trying to keep it all natural but I was worried my plants wouldn't make it without the boost. The one on the left is Columbian gold and was doing great until maybe 3 weeks ago. It does look a little better since feeding it mg this morning. I will top dress again and keep the mg on hand in case I need it. I was hoping to pull a gram a watt but I dont think these plants got big enough to pull that.. I vegged for 3 months but growth was slow on all 3 for some reason.

The growth was likely slow because you used FFOF without amending it and then counted on top dressing to get you through.
Not gonna get into it with Raspberry Kiwi again but I will say that while MG wouldn’t be my first, second or third choice ... it should help. Use sparingly.
As far as getting a gram per watt from a single 320W LED, that’s was gonna be a little tough for a first timer anyway, but your 2 plants on the right look good enough. They’ll produce. They all will.
You’re doing well. Your second grow will be even better than your first.

the stalks are huge i am jealous but i would throw that miracle grow in the garbage and order some ff tigerbloom and look into brewing a compost tea now that they are in flower they need nutes and a lot of light

Thank you man. I appreciate the support. Funny thing is I actually did amend the soil 4-4-4. The plants got burnt for a few weeks. Then they were fine. But after a couple of months the deficencies started to set in and even after top dressing never fully recovered.

Hey I know its probably impossible to say but based on looks how many grams should I be expecting to take in give or take?

Just curious... Why do you say that?

We’re guessing.
I’m a glass half full type.
But I just checked your lights online.
The PPFD is pretty low at 150-250.
I might be too generous in my estimate.
But this will be a great learning experience.
With that light I would harvest the tops first, then lower the lights accordingly and let the secondary undergrowth run an extra couple weeks for a bigger yield.
