Deficiency or light damage?

Girl Scout cookies extreme, 9.5 weeks. Leaving soil, pretty much water only minus a couple top dressings. I thought I ramped it up pretty good to start but the plant got much larger than I anticipated. So I’m thinking that it’s running out of something. It’s like my 2nd real successful grow, so i’m not good at differentiating deficiencies and such, something is off.
As always, much appreciated!

I’m not seeing any concerns from the pics
Can you circle point out what you’re seeing.
If it’s just a spot or two that’s what happens when they aren’t plastic plants lol
Looking good

One of mine was kinda lighter up top then bottom and had some of those white blotchy spots like your last picture.
I’m not 100% sure but i thought mine to be micronutrient related.
Feed mine with General Hydroponics flora micro and bloom at recommend does and have done a feed, water, feed, water every since and shes now green all over, no longer pale up top and no more blotches have came.
I didn’t top dress anything so maybe if you have a shot of some calcium and micronutrients you could get away with just a boost and not have to feed regularly as i have :man_shrugging:

Just looks like rapid growth. Chlorophyll hasn’t had time to catch up yet.

@1HappyPappy What size (gal) pots are those?

Cheap 3 gallon nursery pots.

Ok, I am using a 3 gallon pot and was told it is too small that the roots need more room. Looks like a 3 works to me.

Any size works. It does have some effect on size of plants but 3gal pots can grow nice plants.
I do like 5-7gal better for a couple reasons, the bigger the pot the less frequent I have to water/feed, kinda like charging a battery :sweat_smile:
And more soil to last longer before I start to feed.
