How does this girl look?

5 weeks and 2 days into since seed was planted. Purple kush auto. Noob hydro grower. Using general hydro nutrients(followed chart on bottles) seems like a high amount but since first time grow for me, I figured I would trust the label. Also giving cal mag, and voodoo juice in the first 2 weeks of veg. Have under 1100 w led blurple light 20 " away from top, plus another 600 w led blurple 18" from top. My question is, does this look healthy for its age? And any possible advice for the next steps ? Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and respond!

Probably overfed. Post natural light pics.
Looks like you got some spotting on lower leaves. Plant is probably pretty dark green already.

Youre more likely to have a better time with something like this.
The recommended strengths on pretty much every nutrient are very high.

My PPM is sitting around 1100 when I checked it earlier today. And thanks fragile, this is actually the feeding chart that I used on my last res change. Sorry, like I said noob grower, and first time poster. I will attach a better photo for you tomorrow. Thanks again

which week on the chart did you feed at? Thats quite high for a plant with only 6-8 nodes.
RO or tap water? Whats the ppm of it before anything?
How much cal mag are you using per gallon? Are you just adding it to your res or premixing it in the top off water?

Well water from the tap, ppm is 39 before adding anything. 1ml per liter of cal mag (dosed according to bottle) and I mixed all nutrients together stirred, threw in air stone, let it mix up for about 5 mins then put mesh pot top back on. Ph around 5.5-6.0

And also just added 6ml (total) of liquid kool bloom yesterday. Straight into the res.

That's great water. Do you know which scale your ppm reading is? You probably only need about half the recommended dose of calmag. I dose my 60ppm water to 150-200 (700 scale) depending on how old they are.

You want to be running week 3 veg from that chart until you're happy with the size and want to get ready to flip your light schedule

I use GH Flora Trio and in the heaviest part of flower I'm around 1100ish max. I'll be curious to see those natural light pics to see if it looks a bit over fed. BTW I just went into a new flower table hot (plants a overfed a couple by a lot) it happens so don't worry about it.

Wow, then these must be pretty hardy plants, not gunna lie even the smaller ones I have have ppms around 1000 and they dont seem to be burning..? Maybe I'm just getting lucky?? because to be honest it doesnt look like its burning or deficient at all, however, I'm far from an expert..but for sure. Will be off work shortly in the next few hours, so I should be home to catch them before they go night night.

Yeah its TDS which is going to be 500.
Your 1100ppm is over 1500 on the scale I use and I dont usually make it above 1100 which is like 750 for you.
