1st time growing help

Transplant into an organic soil in a larger container, don’t overwater. Bury that stalk some.

Have you by chance splashed any of your nutrients on these plants ??

 

Plants that size really don't need a fan. I'm assuming you live in a very arid climate since you're concerned about a low humidity, a fan doesn't remove humidity from the air, it only pushes the air around and humidity isn't your problem anyway. Does that soil come with nutrients? Have you checked your pH? The water in arid climates frequently has a high pH. The yellow spots look like something happened that's no longer happening so forget them. My guess is your problem is either pH related or they are getting too little light.

 

Rotate plants so that they all get directly under light and outside ones are not reaching for it. Shoulda started with 1 till u got more lights

 

If u have some extra lamps or ones u can get from ppl how throw them out even if they still work get them. 13w 60w equivalence cfls veg very nicely. If u can get the lamp cords to hang them for free then it’s rly cheap. I pay like 1.30 for the two way and hang 2 13w cfls n each

 

Those yellow dead spots don't mean anything. Maybe something splashed on or maybe a bug came along but whatever it was that happened, it's still not happening as the newer leaves are unaffected. If I was you I'd feed them, the yellow could mean a nitrogen deficiency but it doesn't look exactly like it. pH your water and if it's okay then feed them. Or just feed them, those plants are still babies so if you loose them you haven't lost much.

 

Looking nice...you're in 12/12 right?
During flower the RH should be around 35-45% and normal temp around 75ish. You need to read up on training the next time you grow. High stress and low stress. I'd stick to LST and tie some.branches. Too late now to do it without risking stress, should be done during veg. You can still cut away the bullshit bottom leaves to avoid more larf. Looking good though.

 

In your opinion, when is the best time to start LST?

I'd say around 6-7 nodes or around 2-3wks of veg. When you have several cola sites or can bend the plant in half without breaking it. After exposing those branches to light they will grow out and you can tie again until there is direct light for all tops

 

If you must you can pinch the stem hard enough to injure it then bend it over using where you pinched it as a hinge. The cola will continue to grow just fine as long as you don't break it off but Cleanbudz has a point about just tying your plants, that's the safest option and you can do that now to help keep the tall ones from touching your light. You can trim any leaves you wish, some people remove the ones over buds that block the light and some people don't and I don't know that it makes any difference either way. Don't worry about your humidity, your plants will be fine unless they are inside an airtight closet and then it may get too high. As you know with autos you don't need 12/12, when I grew an auto I kept the light 20/4 but there's a wide range of acceptable light schedules.

About that light green color, usually when plants aren't getting enough nitrogen they yellow but starting on the lower older leaves and your lower leaves look fine. You may try giving one a smidge more nutrients and see what happens or just let it go, giving too much will make your smoke more harsh. As these plants mature they start to look like they are about finished, some of the leaves will start to yellow and die so don't mistake that as a sign it needs more nitrogen.

It's easy for novices to chop too early so let your buds mature, you probably have about a month but don't go by time, go by how they look. You're doing fine.

 

Hi ya, I'd agree with everything Ed said. When I finished my 1st grow, my plants looked the same. I was advised to pinch as I had one long central stem alot like yours. My only concern would be if they are Auto's, I'm no pro but pinching would be high stress training and I'm unsure if the time to recover would be of benefit.

If standard fem's get pinching I wish I had. Maybe run a line from the top of your grow tent to support the weight. It'll just mean the other stems will catch up (higher yields). It's up to you. Whatever you decide, happy growing!
