If nothing else, maybe the op will provide more info. I wish him well.

I think he realized hes got a good first grow going and probably wont ask that question again. We have all asked goofy questions and made goofy mistakes, especially when just getting going. How else do you learn? This reply is more or less for the op. Keep growing and reading and watching YouTube videos. You're on a good path!

That is the nub of it. My first grow suuucked. My second benefited from my noob no-nos.
Op’s plants look better than mine did.

Well I'd say it looks good for youre first time...... It'll yield about a pound + or - 454 grams

Yeppers...My first grow was a very messy success ha. I say success hesitantly because I think I just pulled off nugs as I need them bc I was worried the plants wouldn't live to harvest lol. Forget about training, why the hell would I cut off parts that could possibly grow weed. Bigger plants, bigger yield right? Bigger pot, bigger roots=better yield. More bloom nutes = larger harvest lmao. I was missing many parts to the equation

@Hydrowannabe @cannabineer @Budzbuddha
I appreciate you guys helping me out.. sarcasm and all.
another question I have is, why are the leaves in the bud turning colors.. does it look like rot.. or N deficiency.. or is it just from the cold temps..?
medium: FFOF/FFHF
Watering w/ Tap water @145ppms
PHd to 6.3
Plagron series liquid nutes 100%Terra
Bloom-12ml per 3 liters (half strength)
Green sensation-3.2ml per 3 liters (half strength)
I will attach pics to show what my temp/humidity looks like. The first two pictures will be Averages of every day last week. One for the temp, one for the humidity. The second two will be a graph of a 24hr period so you can see my daily fluctuations. (The fluctuations aren’t extremely consistent, but you get the idea).
The cold spells were overnight due to my furnace malfunctioning.. it’s fixed now so the cold swings are no longer. Furnace was out for about two weeks though.

Oh and the lights.
I have a mars hydro ts1000 (150watts)
I have not tested the light w a meter but if you look at the reviews they’re consistent w the advertised quality.
there is also a vivosun 300w blurple (150 actual watts) in the tent but it’s over the OG platinum.

So far, i'm somewhat surprised nobody has actually gave any real tips. You asked, so don't take offence, but looks like you were a little heavy handed with the N at some point, and they are low on Mag but a little too late at this point I think. I'm sure somebody more experienced could help much more than me
EDIT: Just saw you used Fox Farms, i'd say you did fantastic for what you were using, most of what i see here from people using Fox Farms are horrible looking plants

First , if i sounded sarcastic ( not meant to ) if talking about me.
second ... bud leaf are showing some deficiencies. I dont know what kind of ppm you running at flower stage but its running along serrated edges which reminds me of a PK issue. I would bump ph up and increase bloom slightly . Leaves will not color back but should show less progression.

1 of my two plants was drinking more than the other and looked like that. Be aware that allowing your soil to dry out too much can appear like many deficiencies

Do you PH your water before you add nutes or do you PH after adding nutes.
AS Budz mentioned, if your going to PH for FFOF I would raise it to something like 6.6 or 6.8 for soil.
6.2 is the high end for coco.
How often do you water only between feeding with nutes?
Do you feed nutes every time you water?

Thanks for tuning in.L, and no offense taken I appreciate any observations/Advice
I’m interested in no-till soils, but I need to do more research honesty I don’t have the grasp of it yet.
Do you have a soil recommendation? Something better than fox farm.
and are you saying that it’s to late To correct the nitrogen toxicity? Or the mag deficiency? Or both?

No that wasn’t directed at you.
I have been lazy recording the ppms, I will check at the next feeding. Why do you say to bump the ph up? I thought 6.3 was the sweet spot for soil.

I use tap water from my house. I don’t ph it every time But I’ve been using it for a while and the ph stays at about 6.5. After I add the nutes the water goes down to the 5.0-5.5 range and I ph it back up to 6.3. (I use the drops to ph so it’s not an exact measurement.)
ive never heard any one say ph the water to 6.6 before. I’m not saying your wrong. I’ll do some research about it. And I’d like to hear your science behind lit if you don’t mind explaining it.
The whole veg stage I only used water.
And after the first two waterings being on a 12/12 light schedule, which is when I was seeing deficiencies. I starting using half strength nutes. Ive fed w nutes every watering since then except one time when I start seeing what I thought was a mag def. I gave her straight water.
thanks for tuning in @Kushash , I appreciate your time.

another thing I’ve been lazy about is my watering schedule.. I honestly water them when they start to droop, which I know isn’t the best way. But I’ve failed to record a watering schedule so that’s how I’ve been doing it. All that to say I don’t think I’m overwatering.
