Mosca Negra Frosted Guava Autos

[Jlok619]

Sup everyone, got some new autos going and I wanted some opinions. The breeder is Mosca Negra seeds, strain is Frosted Guava Autos. They are 21 days old, they came above ground on July 1st. Used rapid rooters in a tray, then transfered to 5 gal fabric bag after day 2. They were growing ver fast the first two weeks, then going into week 3, they started flowering! I normally don’t expect autos to flower until atoeast week 4 is complete, but these ladies strted too early imo. I didn’t top, defoliate, and just barely LST’d by pulling the main stem back a bit. They have a 150watt ViparSpectra LED panel above them, and they are in a 5x5x7.5 tent. RH 48%, 6.8 ph water, Soil, low amount of nutes, and plenty of fresh air. I don’t think I stressed them or anything into flowering early, and I saw good reviews about these guys, so did I just get unlucky?

What model light is it? Seems like it might not be enough light for them. I have a 240 Watt Viparspectra in a 2'x4'x5'

The P1500 i believe.. I have another one right next to them that’s taking care of another 3 small plannts. so in total theres 300Watts in there.

The leaves where also starting to point upwards, so I think they were actually getting too much light, so I raised them a few inches, and the leaves evened out.

Week 2 of Flower.
Tallest plant is 13” and the other two are a foot tall.

That light is for a 3x3 so you should be running at least 2 of those

Still looks good

Day 27 of Flower.

Two of the plants have yellowing leaves. Mostly the older leaves, and some of the big fans. I suspect it’s a Cal Mag deficency, because I use tap water, and hadn’t had the need to add Cal Mag with my past Autos. Maybe this strain need more Cal Mag than usual? I started supplementing Cal Mag in their feedings since 4 days ago, and have noticed the new growth looks very healthy.
One of the plants looks amazing, and has no yellow leaves, and a donkey d*ck sized main cola. I’ve been feeding all three the same nutes and on the same schedule. They are growing in soil in 5 gal fabric pots, sitting under two 150 watt LED pannels. No pests. Good air circulation, and plenty of fresh air. If anyone else suspects anything else, let me know!

Day 31 of Flower

So the leaves keep getting yellow.. I really thought it was a Cal Mag deficency, but I now suspect the plants might be nutrient locked. I will do a good flush tomorrow when the soil is a bit more dry, then the next feeding, I’ll feed with added Cal Mag and hope that fixes the issue. Other than the yellow leaves, I also noticed these red stems. I read they are normal in some strains or due to temp, but could also be signs of nutrient deficency. Anyone have any tips?
Other than that, the flowers are developing beautifuly, lots of sticky resin, and a delicious ripe guava smell.

Update:

After talking with a friend who works in commercial grows, he adviced me to lower my ph considerably. He said 6.8 is wayy too high and the plants are unable to process the nutrients. I watered with 6.2 ph’d water and a very low dose of nutes. After a day and half, I am seeing green coming back to some yellowe leaves! Hopefully these plants still come through. The buds are smelling and looking great! Heres a cool photo from two days ago when the yellow started getting some reddish-purple hues as well.
