New grower!

**Blue Harvest** · 02-06-20, 12:05 AM

Hey everyone! I'm a new grower, long time smoker. I'm after some advice 4 weeks into my first ever grow, I would be massively greatful of any help or tips

I'm doing a small grow just for myself to keep my smoke costs down and I've switched 4weeks in from a HPS to a 600watt LED due to the heat coming from the HPS in a small room, i couldn't keep the temps below 35. The plants have grown really well despite however I've switched anyway. They aren't auto flowers and I'm just wondering if it's something that will cause any issues
Light cycle is staying the same 20/4 and I've just begun low stress training with the branches and a little topping

Second I can't seem to get hold of organicide anywhere and with lockdown all the specialists shops are shot so I've used Neem oil. So far I've had no problems

Some pics attached

I have three different strains all exactly four weeks old
The back left is critical
Corner is blueberry XL
Infront is the ICE which has had growth issues since seed. I think it may be due to high what from the HPS light so hopefully it will catch up to the others now, but they are fine despite the heat so I'm unsure as the cause of this lack in growth
Any thoughts and tips would be appreciated

Why neem oil/ organicide...
Didn't see any mention of pests...?

As for switching lights, nope won't have any negative affect on their growth.

Glad you got the temps down with the new light though.

Have you tested your PH? They also look overwatered.

I was under the impression 3/4 weeks in I should use something pre emptovrly to stop any issues arising
As of yet I haven't had nay problems and wnat that to continue
Should I not be using unless I spot a problem?
Thanks man

I have I'm at around 5.6/5.8 on my run off now
This wasn't the case for the first two weeks it was around the 7 mark I believe

They get watered once every 2 days currently and fed every other watering
This pic was taken just after leaving the tent for a feed
Should I reduce the watering?
How do you know they are overwatered

Thanks for any tips and help bruda

This wasn't the case for the first two weeks it was around the 7 mark I believe. I was using testing strips rather than a pen much more accurate with the pen as I was reluctant to keep testing with the strips as they where one use only
Pen is a digital one and very easy to use
