3x3 Indoor LED Grow

Whats up all,

This is my first Indoor grow, check it out. If you guys have any input on how i can improve my grow let me know! The clones have been under the light for 26 days at this point. I topped all six plants about 2 weeks ago and it really helped all the side nodes shoot out and up. I have also tied down some of the branches in order to better fill out the tent (trying to get the most out of my limited space haha). I removed some of the larger fan leaves so the light can penetrate into the canopy better. I plan to add a screen soon. Lighting is currently at 18/6 but i plan to switch to flower in about 10 days.

Lighting: 700w adjustable spectrum Viparspectra LED (Power set at 70% R, 100% W, 100% B for Veg Stage) light is currently sitting 21 inches from canopy

Soil: 5 Gallon pots with Fox Farm Ocean Forrest

Nutes: DynaGro foilage pro plant food and Cal Mag Suplement (both added to water about once a week), also have DynaGro Bloom for flower stage

Ventilation: Two 8 inch fans, with the intake pulling air from an open window into the bottom of the tent, and the exhaust fan at the top of the tent. I also have an oscillating fan inside the tent for the plants themselves

Genetics: 3 blackjacks (Sativa Dom Hybrid) and 3 Chocolate Grape Diesel's (Indica Dom Hyrbid), Blackjacks are the 3 plants in the back, Choc Grape Diesel's are upfront

well articulated grow diary, nice set of information

Thank you, I plan to continue updating with pictures as I add the screen and progress into flowering.

4 weeks into veg, just finished building and putting up the screen. I have noticed a few rusty looking spots on a few leaves of one of the choc grape diesels. I will attach a picture, anybody have any idea what this might be? Looks to be some type of deficiency maybe?

I will be switching lights to 12/12 in one week for flower

Today is the first day of flower, just did another defoliation, i will attach before and after pictures. The sativa dom blackjacks are really stretching through the screen already.

Put that light as close as you can. I grow with stronger leds closer

I have a pair of 300w vipars ~10" from the canopy of my single White Widow in a 2x2 without issue, I wouldn't be afraid to lower the light.

Day 15 of flower, yesterday I installed another 600w led light in the tent due to poor coverage around the edges of the tent. The new light is a mars hydro pro II Epistar 600 which I have heard good things about. Plenty of light and coverage now haha. Lights are sitting 12-18 inches from the top of canopy. Going to let the plants finish stretching for another week or so then re adjust light height.

Are you thinking it needs more cal mag or its not getting enough? Im not giving them much cal mag now that they are flowering, 1/4 tsp a gallon. When i was vegging they were getting 1/2 tsp a gallon.

Is it just the one leaf or others too?

it was on a few leaves, I believe they had a P deficiency which i am now trying to take care of over the last week. I was watering they with 6.0 ph water all through veg which i realized was to hot and the last few waters i have made sure it was 6.5 to 6.9 ph. It made sense because the plant can not properly absorb Phosphorus with how acidic the water was before. Phosphorus difficency causes orange spots to i believe. This is all just an educated guess though haha. Im no expert

I'm not an expert either, so hopefully someone who is can chime in and give their thoughts. I think it's safe to say that u and i both agree there is a slight issue and should be watched. healthy plants = better bud

Looks to me like a Cal-Mag issue.
