First time growing

First grow, not bad.
When you flower, you'll have to support them.

What is your light? You need more. You also need air circulation and odour control.
Flat white paint work for a grow area.

Got a budget?

If you can't paint, hang some cheap space (mylar) blankets on the wall. Looks a little late to SCROG. You could build a PVC SCROG frame and get them tied down a little more even so you could maximize your lighting. So far so good!!!

Go get a bunch of bamboo stakes, and you can bend and tie down all of your taller branches. It wont look pretty, but it will get a lot more light to what you got. also do what everybody else said regarding painting/mylar.

Dolomite lime dig it in and water. Will buffer up to 7.0, do a handful wait a week measure your ph and add more if needed

I second the dolmite lime.....I use a lot of FFOF and HF...…..Next run, mix some of that dolmite he mentioned above into the soil before potting them....it helps ALOT with the low PH problems often associated with FoxFarms soils....did for me anyway.

What kind of meter did you get and how are you checking? Don't go crazy and try and change things based off the readings of some soil meter. Those plants are tall probably because you didn't have the light close enough, you didn't train them, waited too long to switch to 12/12. But they look healthy from that bad photo. Do they look healthy to you? If so then leave them alone and keep doing what you've been doing and let them flower. Forget about that soil meter.

You let them get too tall. Supercropping is your friend.

Good luck.

He said some of the plants which means some are right which says to me his meters accurate, I'd use the dolomite lime on the acidic ones as a preventative treatment, wont hurt anything as dolomite buffers at 7.0. I'd rather him do that than have a lockout issue at a critical point and lose or retard budsites which is exactly what happens. Also at this point some worm castings would do you a lot of good because of the high phosphorus and potassium and trace elements to boost your pre flower.

Looking good Tommy! I get stretchy plants once in a while, mainly in the heat forget about it put some bud in the jar and next grow you'll do a few things different, keep it simple, as they say
