Morning/evening/night all....

Based in Perth, WA here. Started my first grow just over 1 month ago on some AK47 autos that were gifted to me (nice, eh)
I’ve never grown a basic fruit, let alone one of these girls, so bought the tent, bits and pieces needed, some fancy ass soil and nutes from the east cost of Oz and started.

I'm nearing the end of week 5 and thought I'd post some pics and get some opinions that my girl is looking ok. To my untrained eyes, I think she looks ok.
Obviously I'm learning a lot everyday and at 42years old, never thought I'd take up this hobby, but really enjoying it.

I’ve just adjusted my RH last few days down a little to 45-50 due to flowering stage and keeping temps around 22-24 (its peak winter here atm)
18/6 schedule and watering every 2-3 days with nutes from High Powered Organics (Ozzy brand and seems like good stuff)

Photos below any advice, guidance (oh wise ones) or observations welcome :)

Looking good! Enjoy the journey.

**One thing to note, as I do not know what you are using the green wire to secure in the photo, be aware those thin wires will cut into growing branches/main stem. You will want some thicker wire if you are securing, LST or supporting branches.

Oh you are spot on and I learned that the hard way. I'm now using a soft thicker tie for some light LST.
The green was my first attempt and now just hangs about, I must really throw it away.
But appreciate the heads up :)

I think we have all been there with that thin garden wire. Enjoy the journey!

Plants look good, slight tip burn, but nothing major. I would add 1 tbls of Food Grade Epsom Salts to 1 Gallon of water and feed once a week. Adds some extra magnesium and a bit of sulfur to the plants. Unlike other nutrients Espsom salts do not build up, so no worries. Monitor weekly. During the phase your girls are in, I would recommend higher doses of Potassium through the remainder of the grow as well, as this is what they need more than anything. Autos require about 1/2 the nutes of photos and most feed charts are written for autos, so be careful on full dosing. Good luck.

Appreciate the advice. I'll throw some epsom salts into the mix from today at the doses you've recommended.
Yeah the tip burn I thought was lights but defo nutes, I fed her nearly 3 litres of plain water yesterday to about 10-15% ro, she was thirsty but some plain water would have helped her.
 
Just been trying to control heat and RH today, juggling around the 22-24C mark and RH around 48-50, is this right for this stage?
Also looking at the bud sites up close, the newer smaller leaves seem to be tacoing...too much light?
Do these look ok? mid week 6 at this stage :)
PPFD sits around 480-550, have tried a few days of higher, but by 5pm she looked tired and droopy. So I'm keeping it around those points for now
