update for my first grow

This is the result of my first grow so far....I'm at least 3 or 4 weeks into flowering, I believe. I notice that there
are little orangeish hairs starting to farm amidst the white ones. Just wondering what you all thought. Are they, overall
healthy looking?

I'm a little worried about the nutrients. I've been giving them good ph balanced water. But when I add the nutes every 2 waterings or every other watering, it changes the color of the Ph balance kit to a very reddish color which is not even on the spectrum. I assume with the nutes the water becomes too acidic. I don't, at the moment, have any Ph up. I do have PH down, because I assumed the water in general would be too alkaline...which is usually the case without the nutes.

I've been doing this throughout the grow, and haven't seen any grave problems, but that might have to do with the hardiness of the plant. Also, They don't seem to be yielding THAT much...

Please let me know what you think,

It looks pretty healthy overall. Orange hairs are nothing to worry about. If your plant is doing well with your feeding and watering routine why change it? I'd keep doing what your doing and if you run into problems then change your feeding routine. Good luck.

Always check the pH AFTER you add everything, nutes, etc... Your post made it sound like you pH'ed and then added your nutes.
Your pics look pretty nice, but without knowing exactly how far into 12-12 they are, its hard to say if they're behind... You say they aren't yielding much, in your opinion? You may be experiencing some minor nute lock-out from your pH being off... Look into that and get some pH up and down... Best of luck.

Thanks! I will definately look into that. They're autoflowering. so I don't do 12 12. But they're taking more time than I expected. I'll check out the PH up thing. I think thats what I need. The water normally, is about 6.5 But with nutes, I think it becomes a lot more acidic!

Thanks PJ

My tap water comes straight from canna-heaven... pH around 7, ppm's in the 60's... after I add nutes and some hygrozyme, the pH drops to around 5. I'm willing to bet the same sorta thing is happening to you.

and for an auto-flower... they do look really good, IMO

hit em with big bud start of week two next time a long with normal nutes and then pk 13/14 3 weeks b4 end of grow

Thanks PJ! Tyke, not really clear on what your saying.... What is big bud? sorry ..please explain....
