It’s a Mara hydro ts3000 and I literally just defoliated before I started the 36 hour dark period. But yeah they could be
looks like total shite to me. Way too stretchy, lanky, thin leaves.. unless its Malawi, Vietnamese or some kind of eastern world landrace I think you have some serious light issues.

some of the broader leaf ones look alright..

What kind of light are you using?
which one? The day 19 of 12/12 .using a vivosun vs2000 and two vivosun vs 1000. Yeah the ones on day 20 now are deft lacking as I had to turn the light intensity down to stop the burning from lack of all vital nutrients. When I figured that out I started feeding and turning light intensity back up to about 750 ppfd now without any problems. I got them when they were already struggling they look better than they ever have sadly lol. With the topping and LST are deft getting the right amount of light as they may look lanky cause I did some major defoliating 3 days ago right before their 36 hour dark period to start flowering.

the ts3000 should be doing a lot better than that... i have a bestva3000 and my plants are compact and robust... mayeb recheck your nutrient mixtures...

Well they were so bushy I couldn’t hardly see the branches anymore and everything was fighting for space. It’s at like 600- 700 ppfd across canopy for the most part

strong, sturdy plants require better root growth... just another idea..

I haven’t really added anything at all to the build a soil stuff as I’m new and got something that would grow buds without my input to fuck shit up lmao. I just use fish shit from the grow supply place on my 3 big build a soil pots. I was adding some molasses but the more I read the more people say it kinda messes with the grow if used much so I have stopped. That is for the tent with netting. The other tent with plants on day 20 now are definitely fucked but getting better and not worse now so it’s not looking so grim now. They were on their way to a slow painful death until I started feeding them.

I'll tell you... nothing works like roots excellurator... takes your plants to a whole new level. Also, i recently bought some terpinator. The guy at the hydro shop remarked that it was real good stuff.. cal mag is another great additive, but your plants look healthy, or the leves do,... aside from the size and 'oomph'

but buy those and see what happens. you'll likely be impressed

Word I’ll check it out for sure. I do have some roots organic cal mag I got for the plants on day 20. Also got them some Roots Organic bloom mix that seemed to bring them back to life. So I have that on standby if I run into that issue in build a soil pots. I’ll deft look into the other stuff and start experimenting as I have enough plants I can fuck a couple up and not be hurting. Got 3 clones from each of my 4 strains going for when these tents finish up. Build a soil was to make sure I got some product so I can experiment on the side with other nutrients and things.

Lmao it’s gonna take up most of my garden, but I may have to start trying during my out door season. I’d have to veg indoors for a few months to do that in my outdoor.

Day 27 and no more nute burn and I have fed since I fist at showed signs of slight nute burn. They are actually greening back up and starting to make some pretty decent bud sites. More than what I was expecting the way it started.

I think I’m on the right track with these girls. Hoping for some what of a decent turn out. Gonna get some skinny stakes to put up some branch supports in hopes I’ll get buds big enough to weigh them down. But being my second grow, my first was outdoors and in the dirt, it doesn’t look near as bad as the shit I’ve seen online for first grows . Anyways not all of us first timers just grab seeds, a house light bulb, and some dirt from the ground and expect the best results. I at least have read horticulture mags for quite some time now.
