Hey Guys, I need some advice. (First Time Grower)

[Jellynuggets88]

Hey guys. So I'm a first time grower. I have a few questions, and would like to know if my plant looks healthy, or is showing signs of any sort of problem as well.

I have been using the fox farm trio. At the moment I am on week 4, and so next week will be week 5. Currently I have been using fox farms instruction manual and have been mixing my fertilizers all within the same gallon of water. I shake both the fox farm bottles before adding to the water, and after all fertilizers have been added to the mixture. I let them get room temperature. Then I shake the mixture again to make sure the nutrients haven't settled to the bottom. I have been using an Apollo 300w led lamp in a 24/7 cycle. Also have two ventilation fans, one in the bottom left for intake and one in the top right for output. This is the schedule I have been following.

Day 1: Half the gallon of fox farm mixture
Day 2: Dry
Day 3: Watering about a half gallon, letting excess drain
Day 4: Dry
Day 5: Second Half Gallon Fox Farm Mixture
Day 6: Dry
Day 7: Water

Here are my concerns:

1. Am I over watering?
2. Does my schedule seem okay? Anything I may need to change?
3. Does my setup look alright? Anything I may need to change?
4. At what point do I need to switch my light cycle to 12/12? The fox farm schedule is showing the cycle switching on the next cycle of my schedule.
5. Any other recommendations are appreciated.

Generally looks healthy but that leaf edge curling looks like heat stress. And maybe that light is a little too close. Do you have a thermo in there to measure temp? Those little box fans may not be enough ventilation.

What are the specifications from the manufacturer of your led? Does it need to be that close to the plant?
Your plant looks overwatered, plus it's not getting any dark time. You said light is on 24/7? I would go 18/6. I water my plants when they need it, definitely not every second day.

The manufacturer suggests 18-24 inches. Usually by the second day after feeding, the soil feels dry up to my knuckle. thanks for the advice guys

Roughly 70-80 deg F.

It all starts with the ph. Make sure it's correct for the medium you use. Watch for fox farm trio (high salt content) and N lock up. You need to flush with h2o every 2 or 3 feedings or you'll burn the plants. Lastly I'd suggest going thru all the tutorials here that apply to your situation, Sirius and nebula put together a whole Tower of Babel for us. It's quite incredible. Good luck!

And yes that led is too close. Mine is recommended between 15" and 18" in flower but closer to 20" works better.

I go by weight of my pots before I water agin
