Is this new growth (yellow) showing issues?

Yes, my tent is a 2x2 and the light is 135W QB. I have a wall watt meter, and when fully cranked, it shows 150W at the wall. I'll turn it up today. Should I go full max at once, or bump it up slowly?

Just crank it up, no issue, with autos and LED I shoot for a little over 20W per sq ft, photos I want somewhere in the 30W per sq foot. This is for true COB or QB lighting. Hps I would run about 50w per sq foot in flower for approximately the same results. Actually the LED is a little more dense IMHO. The small leaves look like she's preflowering, but small leaves can also be a sign if under lit.

You can get too much light, but trust me, she'll tell you loud and clear when she's had too much.

Thank you for the great information, @Arthur.

Usually the issue is people cranking the light on a girl just above ground, overall she looks good and healthy, she's gonna fill that space up easy.

You might watch the deep green color, can indicate a Phosphorus deficiency. My nemesis...

I think a combination of my camera (iPhone) flash with the LED lights being on may have altered the color temperature of the original picture. With the LED off and the camera flash off, the new growth doesn't look as vivid and yellow.

Thanks @karlkutta for the kind words. I up-planted this Blue Dream on 7/1 into OF soil, and with this huge rush of growth going on, I bet the OF nutes are being used quickly. I may need to test runoff and start adding very light nutes before the month is over.

Hey there! So I don't mind ffof. Use what you have and is available. I'm adding nutes and you develop your routine and stuff. Keep it up, watch them, see how they respond. Once you go to autos they are more finicky. Your on the right track. It can be tough to make these plants look perfect but yours are looking good.

I'm starting her Advanced Nutrients a bit early, but I'm 1/4 strength of the dose I'll end up with - plus a bit of Cal-Mag. I'll post a pic in a few days and tag you for your input.

I just came off a Northern Light auto indoor and a Mazar auto outdoor grow. I really like autos and was gifted two Blue Dream auto seeds I'm going to grow outdoors. There is a small window of "allowance" for an auto, then the window closes. I sun scalded the Mazar and she had a struggle to recover after losing her top nodes. I only got 31 grams from her, but darn that is some awesome medicine. For sure you are right...autos can be mighty finicky!
