I'm in the weeds

So leaves are dropping like crazy. If I wait 3 days to water they are dropping real bad so watering every 2 days. Buds are growing like crazy but the rest of the plants look crappy. They have been in flower for 6 weeks. Have no idea when they will be ready. Haven't really studied up on that yet. Pistols are still clear/white. Hope it doesn't take much longer because the plants don't look good to me. Should I get a scope to get good magnification? Flying blind but really enjoying it.20211126_134549.jpg20211126_134612.jpg20211126_134612.jpg20211126_134623.jpg20211126_134642.jpg20211126_134659.jpg

Very similar situation over here too. Little behind you on flowering but I seem to have more fading and dying fan leaves.
I backed off nutes 2 weeks ago and didn't seem to help, my plants are well root bound so yours should be as well. A good soak is what I have been doing. I experimented on my Herm'd plant and took it out the pot and realized the roots were so dense or I wasn't watering right but the bottom quarter of the pot wasn't as evenly saturated because I think the roots acted like an umbrella. Anyways my swag.( Scientific wild @ss guess)
I was only feeding mine wedding cake clones only 1/4 to half strength of 0-10-10 that have some big buds right now. ( Pre-flower to 4 weeks) and I think my buds are asking for more as some have suggested.
I think your plants as well need some P&K.
And make sure all of those roots get their share of water.

I will definitely buy more lights next time. My tent is only 2x2 so I will need a larger space as well. I should have only grown 2 plants but I dropped another seed because I thought one of my plants was going to die. It didn't but it has been the smallest with the least flower.

NPK (the traditional building blocks of fertilizer) are Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium (K).

Through Veg plants need more nitrogen for growth, but once you hit flower they like less nitrogen and more phosphorus & potassium...so more of the PK and less of the N.

The light thing is that with 100w and a smaller foot print, you need to raise the light to get more spread to the outside of the grow area...but in raising the light you lose intensity at the canopy. But you have what you have and at this point just grow it out and see what you get.

Almost there. :)

I have an exhaust going to a carbon filter and there is a fan and humidifier in the tent. Here is a pic of the setup. View attachment 4950583

I'm a newbie also but I don't use the carbon filter until stank becomes an issue. My setup is that the exhaust fan and filter are outside the tent so I just fashion a cardboard box to accept the fan and fashion some louvers in the box for airflow. The filter probably reduces airflow by some minimal amount but my main reasoning is to hopefully prolong filter life.

So it's been a few weeks and while my first grow wont likely be alot, I'm happy with how it's going. I did a flush today with water and flourakleen. Hoping to start drying these around Christmas. Any thought if they look like they might be close..20211219_151514.jpg20211219_151502.jpg20211219_151435.jpg20211219_151429.jpg20211219_151304.jpg20211219_151240.jpg20211219_151227.jpg20211219_151136.jpg20211219_151514.jpg20211219_151514.jpg20211219_151514.jpg20211219_151136.jpg

At least 2-3 weeks left before ready to chop. Won't be ready until 2022. GL
