Thanks, also the leaves kinda started to get just a little dark on the tips and seem to curl a bit was worried about that as well

Looking good for day 16! Is it an auto?
As for the tips it’s a warning sign. That’s all. You may even find the tips straighten out after a night cycle.
But it’s showing N levels are at the max and should be either maintained (plant grows into it) or lowered (if toxicity progresses)
With the high N I’d be temped to give a dose of Epsom salts week 3 (1tsp per gallon) then again week 5 after stretch (if auto)
This is an auto day 16 I’ve got going atm (3 gallon pot) The use of humic acids are a game changer imo

Yours look great, yes they are autos tangie- matic from fast buds. Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it also mine are in 4 gallon pots not sure if that would make much of a difference or not
There pretty normal for that age looking fine mate the soils proly a tad hot for em but it shouldnt bother em too much just keep at it and remember less is more and try not to over love it to death like many do when they first start out

Itll give them more space to root out so should get bigger plants.
What are your temps? I’ve found 26-28c is a sweet spot for vigorous growth!

They look fine. If the soil's hot, they'll grow a little dark but will handle it. Don't overthink it and don't mess with them. The more you muck about, the more problems you'll have. You'll know if something goes wrong down the line and soil is forgiving, you'll have plenty of time to react. On your first grow it's a win to get to the finish line

Here’s an update, day 23 I also fed them nutrients yesterday for the first time I used half the recommended dose of fox farm big bloom and fox farm grow big. I feel like they don’t look to great. Maybe I stressed them out by messing about to much with them. Any tips are appreciated

I have a dozen plants in the tent. The ones that germinated 30 days ago were just fed. I use a living soil. These will all go outside in a month.
I have had to raise my light 2x from the growth that the autos have done. I have to start the autos on 1st stage flower food as they are in flower.
Farmers Daughter is doing great wide hips and all, Freakshow looks like a runaway tomato plant.
When outside the garden gets watered daily, and I feed them once every 3 days.

towards the end of flowering, the trichomes that the plant produces will turn from clear, to milky, to amber as they age. But you are still in early veg. I was just making a dumb joke, sorry lol. Ps. Some plants grow faster than others, just down to genetics and different phenos in the same genetics
