New Grower Any idea how much time left on these auto's?

Any idea's what might be causing minimal leaf tip browning as well as slight curvature of leaf tips?

I know it's hard to tell with bloom lights so I'll try to post white light picture when I can. I'm thinking its nutrient burn, but not positive.

nute burn, but honestly this is how i tell when i am at the plants max feeding limit when they get just a littttttle burn like that

Thanks again derek...I figured the same, but wanted to make sure so I can get ahead of it.

I'm thinking I'll go lighter on next reservoir topping.

dial it back like 50 or 75 ppms and that should do the trick

You might not like this, but I rarely check ppm's. I gave medium (1/2) to a bit higher nutrients in vegetation, increasing only as plant became more mature. I let the plant tell me what it needs, so I can focus on pH and environment control.

Current issue I am having are fluctuating humidity levels from 46% to 65+ %. Thought about a dehumidifier but don't want to spend a lot and most of them are crap (based on reviews). I'm also not sure they'll work.

Another issue is, the plants are getting bit too big for my 2x4x6 tent.

ok if you don't use ppms(which is ok i don't care lol) then just use a little bit less than what you just fed em lol. and the too big problem is somehthin a lot of folks have, learn to supercrop if it gets too bad

Thanks derek, definitely will do. Next time will be different (hopefully).

Would you recommend trimming some of the leaves on the bottom at this point? I read it's not good to trim auto's in flower but I've also read about some who have trimmed late with autos.

Nope i am not an advocate of defoliation lol the leaves are all producing photosynthesis so they are needed IMO

I second that. I do defoliate but only the 1/4 or so of the plant and it depends on how full the plant is and it is because my light dose not penetrate at the lower parts of the plant. I do not scrog or hydro though. Some times I pull a large leaf if it is covering some large colas but the more leafs you take off the less light your plant is taking in so I only will take things that I feel are necessary. Some times I pull a leaf to the side to see how much it shades something before I pull it. If I can tuck a leaf instead than I will.

Ya I hear ya. If I grow out doors I don't pull anything ever. With my 600 HPS I probably don't need to but usually do but not always. I grew under CFLs and T5s starting out and got use to it. My last grow was photos and I did it for air flow and so I could reach the back plants to water. I had my fan on the floor and the tent was crazy full.
