4 week old autoflowers!! HELP!

Gorilla glue and bubble gum autoflowers officially 28 days old. How do they look? Looking for health advice and what not!! They are in 3gallon fabric pots, using black gold full organic soil. 2 bestva 1000 watt led lights. 220 total from wall. No amendments yet want advice for that as well.

Forgot to post the pics... Lol

They all just started with the yellowong of tips even on new growth. Idk if that is a light issue but the lights were sitting 16inches from tops of plants so i moved to 20inches this morning. The gorilla glue had a calcium problem which is fixed now hopefully.

The white top growth tips do favor light intensity using too much light will make them consume more food. Roots may not be able to keep up yet, smaller plants, due to age. I'd back light off about a foot and top with worm castings and humic acid water that in with a water soluble fulvic acid. Or just back light off. If fading from bottom spreads start a feeding regiment if the white tips spread back light off some more.

You shouldnt be showing any deficiency signs yet. Young plants in organic soil. You could be showing nutrients burns which is also what those burned tips could be. If that's the case your ph is probably off and plants are starting to lock out. You know your grow better than I do. I'd check soil ph especially if you've been phing, idk about your soil but most organic soils dont need phing until soil is depleted of nutrients and you start using liquid nutrients if you use them.

I figured it was light so i backed it off to 20inches away. I had just checked PH 3 days ago it was 6.4 in soil. To me they dont look hungry so i have not fed yet the soil is packed with all kinds of stuff worm castings, kelp etc lots of stuff so im confused as to when i am supposed to feed. Lol

You're right, most pots only feed a month you're almost there bigger pots small plants that can be extended if pots aren't watered to run off. Lessened if water to run off. If it was light you can just give it time if you think theres more food in soil. The fading bottom leaves look like nitrogen deficiency. The top spots could be from light or spreading just have to watch plants response over several days and make a decision based on that.

Worm castings wont burn plants humic acid wont burn plants. Castings have lots of goods humic acid helps plants take up those goods by retaining moisture and adding microbial life.

Oh yea i did have nitrogen def i fixed that also! As far as water i only did a runoff 1 time to check ph normally no runoff. Thank you for your advice!

Careful if its lights, first time I had a issue with light intensity I didn't know what it was. Just knew my plants had white tips, and started fading. After checking and eliminating everything it could ( besides light ) I thought it was nitrogen deficient so I fed heavy and burnt the shit of out them. I was only running 45watts a sqft never did I think it was light especially after running several months under it at 50% and 75%. But guess that's why they don't make 5x5 lights for 4x4 tents.

A burning looking like the worse case of calcium deficiency you've ever seen or a orange yellow like looking mildew that doesn't rub off is also a sign of light intensity. All will be on top growth lower growth may not and growth below canopy wont be effected if its light intensity

Ok so far its just the top tips and the next set down from that but it started with that set just didnt move lights until now so hopefully that fixes it! How much do autoflowers normally grow from week 4 to harvest? As of right now they are about 8in tall but bushy and growing very fast like literally everyday there are new sets of leaves.

Depends on quality seeds, genetics, and growers knowledge/methods. 4 to 6 oz is good. maybe 3ft tall give or take unless training down. I've never measured height width.

Im training mine down they will be bushy but i think i stunted growth in first 2 weeks from overwatering. Got the concept now wont happen next time but they are small still probably get a few grams off each but not much. Lol

Is this your first grow?

Yes it is. Lol

To get it down photos are much more forgiving. They allow you to get proper watering practices and feeding practices down before ever flipping to flower. Once that's down pat autos are easy
