75-80 f, leds at least 18", fox farms is over rated, you will need charcoal air filtration, when you think its ready; 2 more weeks.
Oh, and water less. Its probably not a nutrient issue, check your PH.

Pouring calmag into a plant showing signs of deficiency is not the way to do it… most likely it’s a pH issue causing lockout of cal or mag

I don’t think my list of mistake I wish I didn’t make is done yet, I’m still fighting the growing pains! I’d send it out to you when the list is finished but UPS said it was too heavy.
But you probably should water less. That seems to never be wrong.

I wasn’t a believer in how important PH was, until I started growing with the Hempy (passive hydro) type system. NOw, i’m a believer (ahahhahhah, now that song is stuck in my head)

Buy regs, not fems. Learn to make seeds, learn to plant 2 x what you think you’ll need and get used to culling males.
Once you get a few hundred seeds and they stop being so precious, you can stop fussing over every small issue and then you’ll really start to learn.

If you find a really special plant cut a clone and keep a mother of it.
Hold on to those killer cut only strains and if possible share your clones with others that will preserve them so you can get a cut back if you lose a mother. Make seeds and store them in a safe seperate location.
I got busted back in the day due to a ex and didn’t have a contingency plan or backups. Still kicking myself to this very day for the genetics I lost.
