Hi all, First time growing and i have a few questions.
I have an 80x80x200 Grow tent with a 600W HPS coving the space Growing in soil, temperature and humidity semi-controlled but haven't gotten too far out (aside from last week when the heatwave brought tent temps up to 29C
but I reduced the lights to 400w for a few days until the climate cooled down a bit)
First attempt at growing, I have two Autos and one Fem. The plan was to grow the autos at 20/4 and Veg the Fem until the Autos got harvested.
Autos were topped at the 5th node. but plants never pinned down so didn't spread out and branches kept smothering eatch other for light. (Learn to properly train next time)
Plants went down around the middle of march. The Autos are deep into flowering one has been going fine while the other seemed to stall for 1 or 2 weeks when i pruned some deficiency affected leaves from it.
Auto A is in 5L platic pot while Auto B is in 11L fabric pot, i wanted to see the difference these made and the larger pot definitely helped produce a larger plant, I'm sad it stalled for those 2 weeks. because now i have huge big main stems but the buds haven grown to fill them out.
While Auto A was packing on bud weight, Auto B (although it had plenty of short-spaced nodes) was just producing tiny buds that were not growing at all, until about 2 weeks ago. Now I'm feeling like i'm coming close to harvest for Auto A but not sure if I can just leave Auto B in for longer to try and pack on bud size.
Still waiting to see any Amber trichomes on both Flowering plants.
The Fem has had leaves turning yellow and drying up/dying for the past few weeks and i'm getting a bit worried.
Hoping to get advice on all three as this is the first time I have grown either Fems or Autos and I'm getting worried at the amount of dying leaves on the Fem during veg even though it is much bigger and has loads of leaves further up.

Any advice appreciated. I know this is my first grow so can only learn from mistakes.
