Need help with my grow

Guys help me to understand where I did the mistake. Right now I see these plants will not give me over 150g.I use a space 1.2x2 m. I have 14 Glueberry of auto, 35 days old in 5 gal pots, medium plagron light mix and feeding 2 first weeks root juice and now sensi bloom A/B 1.5/1.5/L raising every week. I will start the carboload soon and next 2 weeks the overdrive. The plants are only 55-70 cm, only 16-18 branches each. They look stretchy. Lighting is 1000 watt CMH + 300 qb. I veged them with 630 CMH. I have good air intake and outtake, AC. Temps around 26° and humitidy 35-40%. Ppm is 400-450. I try to figure out what is problem. Can this be the lights? I bought from China factory. Maybe the CMH 1000 watt is trash that produce light equals to 100watts?? What can be going wrong here? The plants look healthy. Never overwatered or overfed with nuts. I water them every 3-4 days and now every day or every other day 1-1.5L each. The CMH outperforms HP's and can give easy to a noob grower 0.5g/w. This is my second grow. Do you see something that I can't see with my small experience in growing?What I see is that is lights are trashes, maybe not. need some experts advise

From what I'm looking at things look fine....and each plant might yield you 150g/ea which for the size isn't terrible....I'd have vegged them longer, and threw a trellis net in there to even out the canopy. Your ppm is that from the tap, or after you mix? Tap water ranged in the 2 to 400ppm already. So if it's after you mix I'd up the feeding a little bit gradually till you see some improvement.

Personally I don't use cmh to flower with just cuz the amount of blue it produces stretches em to much InPreflower for me....just my opinion. I'm not an "expert" but I have been growing for a good while now and this is what I would do in your shoes.

I mean 14 plants will yield 150g. They are very small. They are autos. Showed pistils in week 3. Ppm of co2 I mean. I never checked tap water only the pH that ranges 7-7.2 and mixing with nuts drops to 6.2-6.4.

I think you answered you own question my man. They're autos. Autos aren't always going to yield crazy numbers. They are restricted by design. It's hard to say what your numbers would actually be cuz you could end up seeing them swell up like hard ass rocks...I'd clean up the big fan leaves, and make sure you got the most even canopy you can. Not much else you can really manage to do other than just keep feeding and do t think to much about it. Youre doing just fine.

I have 3000k bulb for flower for veg I use the 4200. I also run 2 quantum's in flower 240watt each. Maybe HP's DE be better

The hps should be just fine. The de hps will really only give you about 15%more light....at best. I'd just stick with what you got brother. You got the setup for a nice room just let the plants do theirthing

These plants seem to yield about 10-15g each. I chooses this strain cause is high yielder. I see some journals of this strain none yielded lower than 60g per plant. Others did 150-200g with less. Anyways thanks for advice

2 600watt DE air-cooled HP's or 4 CMH 315w?

I have experimented with some autos. Vertical growth doesn’t really start until roots have found boundaries. Next time try 3 gallon pots. Or actually grow bags. They find the edges quicker and start growing.

The de hps is great...hps is just fine. The led is great too....I just personally don't use cmh in flower...what size pot are they in...they may need a bigger pot. If theyre getting rootbound that might be your struggle...more roots=more fruits. If they're struggling to find space they can build more plant if it doesn't have the structural integrity to actually support it....

Lights look fair high up. What distance are they?

I would get yourself a lux meter and take some measurements.
Look stretched too fook to me.

Don't start overdrive for a log while yet, its for the last quarter of flower.

I would also get some photo periods so you can take back control.

Lower the light and grow photo's. What's the point of growing auto's indoors under a light that can be hooked for a timer unless you're doing a perpetual grow in the same tent?
