Attempt 2, Autos and Photos

Update a few days ago on Saturday March 29th i fed the girls with 5mls Cal mag ,diluted in 1g Tap water ,pH'ed to 6.5 , ppm of 650. They seemed to take it just fine and even perk up a bit. Happy grow everyone . Hairs are turning Orange everyday while trichomes are growing more and more abundantly . Zoomed in with my phone camera i can see lots of milky white and clear trichome heads . I have a Digital microscope on the way for better examination in the future.

Side note started my veggie seedlings so happy springs coming and I can now utilize the sun rather than soleySnapchat-1187896170.jpg rely on window or LED lighting
 
Guidelines for tent growing 50 per foot is a super amount and the 2 lights you have give you options.
Now that you have a light tester on an app have you considered making a par map of your lights? Nothing like having to hover over 30-40 flowers and looking for hot spots. You can not really do this in the middle of a grow but consider it between harvests. By having a map of the lights you can choose one flower to test light levels and you know what the rest of the pattern will be without moving the tester around the tent. You will also see just how gawdawful the par " map " they sold you on. Mine were not really close at all. Have not checked the big 400w unit yet still in box.

So correct me if I'm wrong but if I wanted to use all 8 cubic feet . I'd need 400 watts total? Ideally eventually having 2- 200w lights to evenly distribute light .or linar bar style leds ?

Thats what i was taught. Now i will say a lot of LED lights have come a long way. Like Vivaspectra XS1500. I suppose after my experience with last 2 grows, all I pay attention to is PPFD output. I guess back in 2019 or so 50watt per sqft usually equated to ample plfd.
 
On week 4 of flower for these girls . Autos have two weeks maybe less . My photoperiod had 4-8 weeks left . But is booming . Had some yellowing of some leaves. I believe this is due to me having to long of a dry back period once or twice but starting to recover .
 
care to bother with some updated pics growmie? some yellowing aye? if that's of the auto girls - no biggie and to be expected. If its your photoperiod well...again pics would help because having 1-2 months left would say you're starting flowering or halfway through generally. Unless you're growing a sativa dominant. PICS!!! lol

I'm not very good at what im about to say, BUT from what I've learned its all about the DLI(daily light intake?) so as long as your ppfd was high as your plant(s) could handle without stressing you're good. Its the same DLI(roughly) in veg as flower, just less time to complete a healthy DLI/day in flower, which is why we increase PPFD. There's always the argument of "should i have waited longer?!?" Lol

As long as your happy that's all that matters! Looks good to me, congrats on the first harvest :weed:
