Hey guys this is my Northern Lights photoperiod. Just entered week 5 of flowering, hoping you guys can help me finish out this harvest without screwing anything up too bad. Using gh flora series nutes with hard ass well water coming in around 400ec and ph over 9. Using vivosun products, 4- 100 watt led and have er around 75° and 50% during the day - 5° at night when lights go off. I should have vegged a bit longer and don't lots more training etc. Really should have started this thread months ago. I'm a total newb any criticism or advice is welcome. I think it looks decent, just have no idea what to expect... Oh and this is tent 1 or 2 running , thanks in advance

You're doing great! I would have topped that Christmas tree one but that's just me. Welcome to RIU!

For a first run it’s looking great, welcome to RIU. The tall plant could have been topped or even better super-cropped so all the tops were closer to the same level, but that’s the fun of learning and seeing how they grow when you just let them go.

Thank you! I think I've read the most helpful advice on these forums since I've stayed growing. Definitely going for a more even canopy next round lol Keeping an eye on trichomes now, starting to see some turn milky

Would someone mind telling me what would be causing random leaves to be disfigured? Some have tiny holes, some have one irregular small hole or a slice out of it. I've only found 5-10 small leaves like this throughout the grow

Either bugs or led burn. I have a shorter plant that I burned a bit and the holes look like them.

Thanks I hope it's not bugs lol haven't seen anything other than this. Lights are 13" from the mains, but the book says 14-18 during flower so I moved em up to 16.

Last few weeks I'm planning on tapering off nutes .2 per week. Been trying to follow this schedule at a little less than half strength. Added full amount per gallon a couple times after mixing keep the ratios right and get ppm up. Now I'm close to 1.3 ec following half strength for week 6 and have added 3 gallons of ph water. Takes about 4ml of ph down to get my water in range and still seems to be high sometimes feel like im guessing and questioning myself a lot on how to mix these nutrients up.
