All 5's no 7's what's up?

Hey all! I'm new here and on my first grow. One plant in 4x4 with 2 300w viparspectra led. Happy Frog in 3 gal smartpot. AK48 auto. 7 weeks from seed. About 2 weeks into flower. Topped at 4 weeks (prolly a mistake being it's auto) Started FF nutes (3tsp BB, 2tsp GB, 2tsp TB per gallon) at 5 weeks, every other watering and seeing some burn at tips so flushed today. pH is about 6.5 going in and 6.0 coming out.

Main question: All my leaves are 5's I got no 7's. Problem? Strain related?

Also any advice from here on out is welcome, esp concerning defoliating while in flower (ixnay with auto?)

According to seedbank I should have about 4-5 weeks left. Thx! ~scoots

More than likely the strain, no worries

Nothing to worry about , need a better light, & longer than 4 weeks left

Yeah, I'll be lucky to get much in yield I think. Just started my next plant and thinking I'll lay off any stress related stuff, aside from some bending. thx.

Get a hps mate , even if it's a 400w , u won't get much for ya efforts with a piddly light .

I just ordered a second Viparspectra 450 for my 32"x32". Should be killer now. 1 450 just didn't get the spread. I would work on plant training a little n try to get a more even canopy. Also if you are only using the FF trio, u shouldn't be following the feeding schedule. That has you using all your trio nutes in bad ratios and then fixing it with the other nutes and solubles. Following the labels and using BB throughout, GB in Veg, and TB in flower is going to give you the ratios you want if only using the trio. I'm about to post about that in further detail on the forum if you want to give me a chance to convince you. Alot of confusion with that.

Thx for the input! My op stated I was in a 4x4 tent but it's 32"x32" also. I would like to stick with a LED unit b/c I like the internal cooling fan, I really don't have space for another exhaust duct in the tent. Do you run your 450 set on "veg" until flowering and then move to "bloom"? I ask because I have a new baby starting alongside this one in flower, and don't want to burn the youngster out running on flower for the big girl. The 300w units don't have a setting switch. I would like to up my wattage for better yield. Bottom line, I'm thinking of getting a 450 and running it under the flowering plant and the veg plant under a 300, in the same tent. Thoughts?

Also I'm mixing my FF nutes according to the online schedule but maybe I should drop the GB once I'm in flowering? Will look for your post regarding that.Thx for the help!
