Seek knowledge from the gods pls.....

This is my first grow and I reluctantly signed up and decided to post some pics. I'd like to get you guys idea on it or what I could do better tbh. I'm seeking any criticism or critiques and praise dont hurt either. Lol if necessary of course. Check em out and let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks guys. Great we have a place to discuss this. Sorry I'm using a medium I'd have to get back to you but they are g4 autos about 4 weeks in, just now showing nodes and also these pics are a week old they're all a good 3 inches taller and so bushy that it's becoming a fitting in my tent issue....kinda. I rotate them. I also tucked many leaves and is why I think they are so bushy no now. Oh fox farm nutes. Forgive me I'm obviously better at growing than writing ha. Thanks ahead tho it's much appreciated. I will get a couple new pics up real soon.

Are you having problems? It is hard to tell if you have any leaf issues due to the led lights being on. However, due to their size the have quite a few nodes. You know a node is a connection from the main stem to the branches that come off of it right?

Have you topped at all? By that i mean cut off the top of the plant around the 4th node. That gives you more colas. How often are you feeding them? What size pots? What kind of light are you running?

You guys will have to excuse me but I've got a couple leds and I'd have to go look up what I'm running exactly but it's a lot lol. In fact could me be running so much light could I be keeping them from flowering......cause here are recent pics taken moments ago. How do they look to you guys? They are g4 autos brother so I didnt drop me because from what I read that's not a good idea.

Turn off the blurple light and snap some pics with normal lighting so we can see what the leaves look like.

Auto's "shouldn't" need to change the light cycle but sometimes they get stuck. 4 weeks I'd prolly give em another week and see if they start budding.

It takes about 5 weeks or so for autos to start sexing ( pistils ) But some can go either earlier or lag .
Keep SAME LIGHT SCHEDULE start to finish , unless as stated plants become stalled and need kick in the pants to move forward.

Also autos run individually ( even from same batch ) some big , some small , some runty , some slow.

Also take pictures ( or pull plant ) to take pictures under NORMAL lighting. Blurple can sometimes highlight issues that are not there.

I have experienced that so many times. I never enter my grow areas without my glasses now. Otherwise I think my plants are dying every time. Lol.

Patience is sometimes the best tool you can have in this hobby dude (OP).

Will do with the pics. Thanks for the advice my friend. Yeah they don't and didnt seem to want to kick into flowering. I mean they slowly were but I might of made a mistake but I put them on a 20/4 to try n push it into flowering and this morning they are twisting but not at the rate I would imagine and there is almost no smell......me being a first time grower that was my major issue. I dont live in a medical state unfortunately. We are still sending people off for yrs for using a plant. I'm not ashamed to say when i was 20 i was caught riding around smoking a joint, no big deal misdemeanor 1 yr probation next time I pull up at my buddies house because I sold a car to him and was there to drop off the title cause i had issues finding it but i digress, someone driving down the road saw his legs sticking out the window so they phoned in a possible break in naturally so I pull in and the cops had already set up a few houses down and I see my buddies legs hanging out....he had to move some stuff that was in front of the window so he could crawl into the garage I think it was. Anyway but i pulled in and was immediately slammed to the ground (pretty obvious I'm not involved i just f'n pulled up) but yeah slammed to the ground my good buddy sitting in my car didnt want to go down with the several different nugs he had so he put it in my glovebox and refused to claim it and long storey short I had my own bag on me I get poss with sales escalated because it was in a school two blocks or so up the road because this was in 1995 and no one had indoor grown and I wouldn't give up anyone so the DA f'ed me good......18 months in a drug/sex camp. Lots of us still suffer. That was my only point lol. I've moved past it and I live as I would. I'm an outlaw concerning this one thing that I do not agree with accordingly to the laws of my state. Its terrible man there are people stuck right now. It's a sad situation but like I said that was when I was a kid I still live free and will til I die but yeah some of us have been thru hell, literally so that some states would get to this point. I'm glad to see it. That was a long time ago I'm not remotely the same human or ever want to be but I live accepting the consequences of what could which those illegal should all do. Be prepared for anything. Always. Sorry for the rambling btw I had 3.8 total grams after they took all the roaches that dipahit with me had. I had bought an 8th and had smoked at least half if not more so i had maybe two grams at most, honestly he didnt and refused to say the crown royal bag in MY car was his so you know it was mine by default no matter. Understand your rights brothers n sisters n be safe out there. There still are states that treat it like a sch 5 drug. Sorry again for the rambling.

When I'm scheduled to change the lights I will take some pics just before they go dark. I think that way I can get the best pics available to you guys. I will also look my lights and my medium is coco loco brand.

I hear ya. That's my main issue I think. I mean for 4 to 4 n half weeks I think they look awesome and changing the light schedule and also have a bloom only light on my main light and using only it helped push em a little.....oh I dont mind and like I told my fiancee it wont be toked til cured dried and all done properly. I enjoy growing anything but I've not followed much of any plan other than giving em nutes n water when I think needed.....tap water I haven't got into ph n stuff yet. I'm still learning obviously. I will add some more pics later. I will when all lights are off. Thanks for any info tho, it's much appreciated.

Oh I have four plants. Two about 2 weeks behind and its obvious you guys will be able to tell from the pics I post later I'm sure but the stalks are the size of my thumb leaves look healthy. I think I've done things well but the lack of smell is what's kinda worrying me. I think I'm just being impatient like fella said above. Idk hope I turn out, paying for it is literally the only reason I'm doing this. I've had stomach ulcers since 14 and its absolutely the only thing that gives me an appetite. I've tried every po pharmaceutical some that had the side effect of explosive diarrhea lol no shit n no pun intended but yeah I'm a hard working blue collar guy who lives in a f'ed up state. I feel like you guys have learned enough about me ha 5his is about my plants. I high jacked my own thread......who does that?

Forgive me I've tried to like many of your posts out of appreciation but I cant figure it out. Lol I'm 43 and out of touch with technology already.....this cant be happening.

man I can't figure out who you are talking to! Looking good on the plants from what I can see.

New members have to wait I think 48 hours and 50 posts before the "like" button shows up, it is next to the reply in the bottom right corner of each post.

Updated pics....holy shit are they filling out and looking to maybe be in the yield amount the seed company claimed. I. Am. Amazed. To see how quickly they fill out. I was at the very beginning of this phase it's obvious to me and the past two days they've really spread then started filling in.....I would assume that's exactly what you would want. This is my first grow as you know. Thanks again for the advice guys btw

Gotcha man. What do you think. How do they look to you? I just water depending on heaviness and use a pint bottle....actually a water bottle you drink with small holes in the top . I squeeze and it helps spread it but I put fox farm blooming nutes in it and used coco loco medium what kind I couldnt tell you but that mixed with a bit of miracle grow. I think along with the mix me watering them fairly well I might of done a better job than I would of even expected. Hope so anyway lol they look good to me. Great even. The lack of smell is all that throws me off. I dont want to be doing all these other things along with tucking leaves. I been spending much time tucking so I think that may of been helpful also.....the stalks are massive and the root balls have roots trying to grow out of the ground. I bet you cant tell I'm excited ha. Super. So glad to be able to provide med for myself man. It's been a long hard road to make it to this point. That's the only reason I did this is because I thought I was doing a pretty good job and didnt want to mess it up in the end.

Sandman they are also twisting quiet a bit. I hear that's a good sign when growing g4.....they also shot up ap hi I had to move the lights oh btw would having the lights 2 feet above them prevent them from blooming?

I can say this confidently that working with your plants helps a ton imo.
.twisting leaves works too. Just be gentle.

So sorry I'm just getting back guys work has had me super busy. Here's some pics there are several issues I'm having. First off being a new grower I used miracle grow soil revitalizer and burned some and the fan got the plant in the back corner. I left and forgot to cut it down. It's been getting cold and I've been trying to keep the temp the same. My plant on the far left has white spots all over it so I gave it some mag hoping that is the cause and not mold because I just flushed that plant and the one in the middle back, I had to that revitalizer was going to kill them for sure. What do you guys think. I'm new and this is gg4 that is auto and it's been about 55 to 60 days. The first one I planted is massive has massive flowers blooming but not finishing up.....I'm hoping they will start nugging up soon or when both my other plants recover if they do i will just cut the lights back to 12/12. Fuck me I've bought all kinds of nutes but none of the right ones it seems. That miracle grow got them had I not used it they would look great.

Sorry guys here are the pics.

Also got these brown spots on this one. I flushed it out very well maybe too well....I added some mag. Did I do wrong by doing this? I should of came asked you guys first.

I had heaters on the two pots I flushed and tried hard to keep the humidity down to prevent mold growth... it's the top two leaves but not bad on the others....not real bad.
