This is my first indoor grow and I’m struggling no lie. I have three girls (GG4, Blue Dream, Black Jack) and I’m two weeks into flower. 64 days since buying these clones from a local shop. I have them all in 3 gallon fabric pots.
Since this is my first indoor grow I didn’t go all out buying nutrients because I didn’t know what to buy. Out of thousands of different nutrients and suggestions I was overwhelmed. I only used great white, Dyna-gro (grow and bloom) and ph down and up.
Two weeks ago at the start of flower I had noticed the center plant’s (GG4) leaves were turning lime green and the area around the veins were dark green turning the same color. I went to my local hydro store and their suggestion was cal mag. I had also purchased Orca and recharge. Now being aware of its benefits I have used Cal Mag and Orca twice.
I just bought a ph soil tester today and it says the Ph level is way to high at a 7.4. I also had noticed what I believe (from watching many YouTube videos) to be salt build up. I’m going to do a flush and try to ph the water at 5.6 in hopes it lowers the soil ph faster.
I don’t have a Ppm tester so I wouldn’t be able to say what the Ppm is. I couldn’t tell you the exact feeding seeing how I’ve recently become a new father and was working 2 jobs.
My main question is about the color of the leaves on my GG4. What do you think the cause is and what’s a possible solution? What organic nutrients can I use to get denser buds. And when I should start to flush them and how often?
I appreciate you reading my actions, thoughts and my questions. Im going to post pictures of the plants I have in the flower tent and the ones in the veg tent.
One more thing, I bought the spider farmer grow tent kit 2x2 for veg and 2x4 for flower.
I have 3 plants in flower in the 2x4 that are in 3 gallon pots,
There are 7 seedlings in the veg tent that were started 3/16. There is 4 Peanut Butter Triangle and 3 Orange runts.
Along with 1 California chrome in a three gallon ( started from seed around 64 days ago) that’s been through hell. Broken branches, nutrient burn, off Ph level. But she still her, I took maybe 10 cuttings from her to keep and putting her outside at the other location.
And to wrap it up I have 2 biscotti’s in 1 gallons I had gotten from a medical shop. One of them will go to well.
Once the Cali Chrome is taken outI have enough space in the 2x2 to transplant seedlings into 1 gallon fabric bags ( 4/6) That’s going to make 7 1 gallon pots in the 2x2. I’m in hopes they make it I will transfer them into 2 gallons for flower in the 2x4.
My question with this is would It better to fill out the 2x2 with 16 1 gallons and have 16 1 gallons in the 2x4 for flowering . Watering being I understand would be a pain unless I drop irrigation. But I feel I’m still to new to want to try a drip system but asking out of curiosity.
8 2 gallons or 16 1 gallons? Thoughts and suggestions. Once again thank you for reading this. If you made it this far your a dope individual.

I will post the 2x2 tent in a little while.
My concern is the lime green leaves on GG4 and the bud sites on all three.
Going to flush with just PhD water. Will update as grow continues.
