Do you notice anything wrong with these buds/leaves?

Its only on the top most buds, the new growth seems a little thin and curled under around the edges? I wondering if its light stress. They are 10" from a 300watt LED and I cant make any more vertical space unfortunately. Something to worry about?

Beginning of week 3. Feeding 700ppm NPK base nutes(PH perfect) 3 times a day plus 1ml/L calmag. 5.8ph 70°f 40-50%rh20210207_123753.jpg20210207_123723.jpg20210207_123733.jpg20210207_123717.jpg

I think maybe I'm worried about nothing but still a little concerned. I bent some branches away from the light but the top most growth around the buds look like this.20210208_123827.jpg20210208_123819.jpg20210208_122350.jpg

Looks like they just started to flower. Plants can likely double in size/height during their initial "stretch" phase of flowering. How much they grow depends on the strain. You're going to need a taller tent or start reading up on LST and Supercropping as a means to keep them from exceeding your height limitations.

Yeah they've been stretching for a week or so. I vegged too long for my space for sure. Just wondering though if that growth around the buds looks unhealthy or normal.

Everything appears to be normal.
Because of the height restrictions, I would do some lst on the spears to keep them out of the lights.

That doesn't look like the light stress I've seen, that looks to healthy, with light the plant goes downhill quickly, the full area of leafs looked bleached and wilted.
I can see a what you're meaning but I don't think it's concerning, keep an eye on it see what happens.

Its a 2x4x5. Right now I'm wishing I would have went with a taller one. But if I do a SOG style grow and flip the clones much sooner i think I'll have plenty of space. There's also a drip/runoff table theyre sitting on which limits space. View attachment 4820183

Indeed they look nice...and it's erm busy lol.
That's going to be a handful very shortly, I'd normally net them to control height but I wouldn't know where to start with that one lol.

Like anomalii says, it would be nice to reclaim some of that space on the bottom. 10" is pretty tight for LED light height and you'll need vertical room for the buds. Maybe swap out the current runoff system for a tray and something to elevate the pots, like wire closet shelves. I know it would suck to make such a change now but my concern would be will the buds get bleached once you get into full flower.

I just wanted to mention that canoeing on the edges of the leaves is caused by too much light. But, as everyone here says, your plants look healthy. But I also think you're going to run out of room real quick Good luck with your grow, and I hope you can find some space!

Your last photo makes things different... get that crap out of there and drop your plants to the tent floor! You need the grow space, not the storage space!

HAHA yeah I guess I have no choice. Good thing I installed disconnects on my drip rings!

I would kill to have my plants looking like that . My plants look way worst, but they will probably give me a good yield like last time. I got 2oz a plant last grow, and quite content with that

Brother I was having the same battle with worrying about.my ladies yesterday a day today as well. They look almost identical. I've grown for a few years previously... but that was almost a Decade ago. When I saw the bid formation it wasn't what I was used to seeing. So I panicked a little and started researching.20210427_003009.jpg20210427_002936.jpg
