First time growing, White Widow, Happy Frog Soil, they are 7 weeks old.
The one on the right, the leaves don't look as good as the others. Is there a problem with it? I started nutrients last week, Big Bloom, half strength. I don't have much of a "greenthumb", first attempt at growing, just going by a book I read.

Overall they look really good. Start of n toxicity with the dark green leaves and a little claw. Stick with the bloom nutes because they are low on nitrogen. I would top them and veg for another week or two then flip them when the lower branches catch up to the canopy.

Nice job!
 
Here is my 2 ¢ on your grow - :bigjoint:

Start to train them / LST / spread her like a cheap hooker :mrgreen: - allow more light to in .

Big Bloom is only a myco / micronutrient feed for medium. Even though label “ says “ Big Bloom it isn’t.

You can do a couple of things with your girls.

First , train them - “ shape them “. After some time you can continue to train even top them for multiple tops ( like this )

To feed - you can either run a simple dry fertilizer ( scratched into top of container) tablespoon or so.
That will feed roughly for 2 weeks as it breaks down for plant. Or …… grab a bag of fox farm ocean forest - add couple cups to top of your soil and water in.

That alone will not only feed it ( without complications ) as plant is already accustomed to a similar soil. It will recharge that soil with elements that the plant already used.

it’s stupid simple. Add tap water and thats it.
Believe it or not - top dressing is a solid way to keep plant happy and money in your pocket.

Are the arrows you drew what I should trim off?

Is it just me or does the soil look rather dry, and it looks like your moisture meter is deep in the red.
I try not to let the soil dry out to much if I'm growing in organic soil.
 
Ok I turned lights down, and gave them some nutrients.
I think they look better

Your doing great for a beginner. Keep it up don t get to complicated. Focus on finishing the plants without major issues and try something new next time. Don't pile on new tactics. Try a thing or two every grow and learn learn learn. Good job man
Def drop that light down a bit. Don't do it too fast just gradually over a couple days and watch for any stress

How does this look for LST?

The point of the LST is to remove apical dominance..

That stops your main stalk being the main and redirects growth to your sides and creates a bush which fills your space and allows the light to be closer to all bud sites when you flower.

So bend the main over..

You want to tie round the bottom section and rope it off to the left (for example) then tie the top and rope it off to the right , slowly over days tighter shorter that rope (string) so your plant slowly leans over and eventually is pulled down to being horizontal.
