I thought this was in a 5 gallon fab pot? I would transplant and ditch the peat cup…the plant will end up small and root bound. Look into the auto pot XL, their designed for 5 gallon fab pots to sit directly in the circular tray 
I may be over thinking it, but does this look like a sudle or initial sign of an issue like overwatering. Im giving 2 cups of water /nutrients/ cal-mag mix twice a day. The bottom limbs look like they want to droop. Like i said I may be over thinking it. Any suggestion?

Looks perfectly healthy Grow Bro, plants will droop a little right at lights on and before lights out

Looking like we’re making progress. Thanks for all the advice everyone has given me so far. I’m sure when i get close to harvest time i will have more questions.

Happy Growing CMichGrower, I’m at another crossroad of certainty and hoping you have some valuable insight. I started a White Widow and Blueberry at the same time. I thought I made sure they had the same grow time and that i was planting two 
that thrive in similar climates. My WW had a little setback during seedling phase but has bounced back. Im using the ILGM feeding schedule and according to it i will enter the flowering stage next week. Im pretty sure my BB is mature enough to flip to a 12/12 light cycle but im not sure if the WW is there yet. Should I go ahead and switch to the 12/12 to prevent re-veg and what would that do to the WW ?
If they are photoperiod plants you can veg them as long as you want, they won’t start flowering until you switch to 12/12. That’s the beauty of photoperiod plants, you can fill almost any size tent with a single plant if you veg it long enough.
I’d wait until they were both an acceptable size before switching light cycle, remembering that they may double in size during flowering stage so you need to plan for the growth.
Thanks @CMichGrower. It probably would have been good for me to mention these are autoflowers. I learned yesterday that flipping to 12/12 is not necessary because they will flower regardless of the light cycle. I was told to leave it at 16/8 for the entire grow cycle. I knew about the autoflowering but thought i would still need to switch to 12/12 to improve my overall results. I guess 12/12 won’t help the growth at all. I’m learning new things everyday.
Im back. Just closed out week 7 of my life cycle and i notice some spots on 1 or 2 leaves. Trying to be proactive and get ahead before it becomes a bigger issue. Any ideas what could cause these spots?

I don’t see anything concerning Growmie, maybe a little splash burn from top feeding

What would cause some of my 
to fold up like a taco. The long edges are folding like that. Could that be too much nute/water. I typically water twice a day (Morning/Evening ) I kinda felt like she increased her intake yesterday because the coco seem a bit lighter than usual at 2nd feeding. So today I gave water/nute around midday. Few hours later I see some leaves folded up like tacos. Any idea?

Post some pics Growmie, could be a few things. Like nutrient overload, lighting to intense. Do you have input and run off PH and PPMs
My other plant has flowers that looks a bit off from what i was expecting. Some flowers look good while others not so good. Could lack of light penetrating through the taller plant cause the pestils to turn brown amd look dry

So im having issues we nailing down the runoff. Sometimes i get more than 20% and sometimes i barely get 10% of what i give them. I feed twice a day (am/pm) water/nute w/Cal-Mag 1 liter each time. There’s maybe 6 to 7 leaves doing the taco fold. Everything else looks okay except for the leaves at the top. Their edges points up at the light.

What’s your lighting intensity over this plant Growmie? Growing in soil? Are you checking the run of PH and PPMs
Sorry for the long response.
My Grow Tent Setup: 1 × SF-1000 Full Spectrum LED Grow Light & 1 × 2.3’x2.3’X5.2′ Grow Tent,
I mix 1 Gal of tap water with ILGM Flowering Fert w/ Cal-Mag. (I make 2x 1Gal jugs at a time)
I feed daily AM/PM ( right after lights on & a couple hours before lights off)
My PH has been consistently at 5.8-5.9 up until a week ago. Now I keep it at 6.0 - 6.1.
I am growing 2 auto plants in 5gal pots in the tent. ( One White Widow and one Blueberry)
My lighting intensity over these plants is at 80-85 percent ( Turned down from 100 due to WW plant height. (She took off on me.)
Growing in Mother Earth Coco+Perlite
Are you checking the run of PH and PPMs? No have not been checking the runoff PH and PPM. ( Only been checking my Water/Nute PH.)
I don’t understand the PPM/EC stuff. My Digital Meter says it can read PH/PPM/EC/Temp/TDS. The only two readings I can seem to get are PH and PPM.
I’m not super clear on PPM /EC conversion other than 1 EC=500PPM.
What should my PPMs be in RO?
Since both plants entered the flowering stage I’ve been given 950-1000 ml twice a day. The BB looks like its RO is more than 20% of my input & WW looks like 10% or less.
Should I use only water sometimes?
After reading your response I checked the PH and PPM in the runoff. The numbers worry me because I don’t understand what it really means.
BB: Input PH 6.12 ---- Output PH 6.5—PPM 2155
WW: Input PH 6.12—Output PH 6.16—PPM 4617
I pump my RO into a collection pot to prevent my fabric pot from sitting in the RO, then throw it out. Am I supposed to reuse it before throwing it away?
Should I give the WW more water/nute at each feeding to increase RO? I’m at 1000ml now what’s too much?
In the attached Pics, my BB shows a lot of flower buds but some look kind of dry and brown. I thought at this stage the pistils are white. My first thought was the WW canopy was blocking out the light it needed so I added some more light that focused on the BB. I saw some growth but no change in the look of the flower. Now I’m seeing brown on more flowers. Am I giving too much feeding?
Blueberry PICS
The WW issue is the taco look in the upper leaves mainly and its lack of RO at 1000ml each feeding. I see some brown pistil developing on the WW now. Is it mold or bud rot at this stage?
White Widow PICS
My temp is between 76 -80 and the humidity is around 68% ( I have two meters one says 65% and the other (near the floor) says 77%) IDK lol. I have two fans running. One up near the light height and one at the top of the 5gal pot.
I am at a loss here and hoping I have screwed up all my work and effort on my 1st grow attempt. I also hope I gave you all the info needed to help a grower out.

I don’t see an input PPMs? I feed at 800-1000 and 5.8-6.0 daily to liberal run off…like 20-30% of what I’m putting in runs out the bottom and definitely discard the run off. I suspect that you had a some feedings without enough run off driving up the PPMs. I would check the calibration on the pen to be sure. The taco leaves lead me to believe the light is too intense at the canopy and the PPMs are too high. I’ve had this happen a few times and flushed the plant with straight H2O at 5.8 until the PH and PPMs were in range. I generally flush this down to around 300-400 PPMs and follow up with a feeding at 1000 PPMs and 5.8 PH. I would bend and tie those tallest colas over. Do you have a light meter, PHOTONE is a great smart phone app. You should be around 800ish PPFD day the canopy. EC/PPM conversion would be 1000 PPMs is an EC of 2.0. I take 1/2 of the EC and add 2 zeros. It’s approximate and how I remember. EC is electrical conductivity and PPMs are parts per million. Just 2 methods of measuring nutrient input and run off. Don’t stress out Grow Bro ! Their in great shape and you’re on top of this early enough to keep it smooth sailing

Much appreciated Growbro! I didn’t think about getting an input PPM. To be clear, you feed 800-1000ml of water/nute w/PH at 5.8-60 daily and that amount generates 20-30% RO?
What does your RO PH and PPM normally look like with 800-1000ml of water/nute w/PH at 5.8-60 daily?
I’m not sure if my 4 in 1 Digital PH calibration was off before, or now. Tried calibrating but the instruction suck and there are no youtube videos in English. (How is that even possible LOL) I followed a video that had English subtitles but it didn’t make it any easier to follow. Every time I calibrate and follow the video, my meter stops flashing at the correct reading for the solution indicating it is calibrated but the moment I go back through (making sure not to cross-contaminate solutions) to validate my reading, it would be off 5-10 points in either direction. What makes it more confusing is each time I tried to validate, the results were so inconsistent, that I don’t know how far I’m off. (Ordering a new.)
I used the PH test to give me a general idea of how far off my meter was. Based on the color chart it seems like my meter is not far off, but idk. ~6.0
I mixed up some chow for the plants and tried testing the PPM & PH. The reading was IP PH 6.29—OP PH 6.52— IP PPM 1363— OP PPM 2041 (This went to the BB plant.)
I had some chow (1000ml) left over. The readings were IP PH 6.12 (The same reading before I calibrated my meter)–OP PH 6.29—IP PPM 1196—OP PPM 5047 (This went to the WW plant.)
I will flush both plants w/H2O at 5.8PH, looking for a PPM around 300-400.
How do I bring down PPMs to 1000 in my water/nute mixed before feedings?

PPMs not Millimeters Growmie and measured after adding all the recommended nutrients per the schedule have been add d to your water source
Dilute with water or mix 3/4 of the recommended feed
