Hi, need some advice on my first grow. here are my details: using promix bx with vermiculite and perlite, and 1000w led lights (about 2 feet above, 18/6) indoors. been feeding fish fertilizer early on with some liquid kelp and now fox farms trio and cal-mag (all very diluted to start and now up to 3/4 strength). the plants have been in a stable 70 degree environment at about 45% humidity. i leave my tap water sitting out over night before using it, but i have never tested the water or soil mix for PH. i think i have been good about not over-watering or going too heavy on the feeding.
1) first 2 pics, OG Kush (germ date 2/22/2020 so about 10 weeks in the pics): i think i burned the roots when i gave it kelp too early. it grew slow and leggy with several inches between nodes. there was a lot of yellow around the edges of the leaves and you can still see some in the pics. it is only about a foot tall. didn't know it was an auto till it started throwing pistils. i started giving it extra P-K and less N 2 weeks ago. the pistils are turning brown on top, but how will i know when to harvest? it looks like all flowers and no real buds but i can't tell....what should it look like when ready to harvest?
2) 2nd 2 pics, CBD White widow (germ date 2/15/2020 so about 11 weeks in the pics): looked good from the start but a slow grower. i topped multiple times and have done a fair amount of LST and it has filled out nicely with no brown leaves. why do you think it grew so slowly and when do you think i should switch to 12/12? should i use a transitional fert with extra K or stick with the tiger bloom with extra P?
3) i have an amnesia haze that is 10 weeks old. it looks like other peoples' plants that are 3 weeks old. it had a lot of brown on the leaves but that is gone and its growing faster. slow growth seems to be one of my issues. any thoughts on that? temp, humidity, ph, light?
i grow a lot of finicky super hot chili peppers, but this is new and more complicated to me. any suggestions/observations would be appreciated. thanks.
