Starting a small grow and looking for tips. Important elements:
24x48x60 tent
138w/3w ufo led & 150w sunsystem hps
(Upgrading to 2 600w led ASAP)
Small desk fan (will get inline w/scrubber)
Medium:
50% jiffy organic seed starter mix (peat moss, vermiculite, coco coir mixture)
25% all purpose organic garden soil
12.5% perlite
12.5% coco coir
Feminized orange velvet Cinderella (2)
Feminized gelato
Both are photoperiod w/similar growing profiles
OVC is planted in large tub
All 3 gelatos are in 3.5 gallons of medium in 5gal buckets
I germinated in paper towels, added sprouts to starter pellets and transplanted after 10 days (pics here are current day)
Not planning on adding nutes until week 4-6.
Any advice welcome. Take it easy on me as this is only 2nd time (first time I made all the mistakes of a noob, and I still got a lot left to learn I know!

18 days in. I know now I transplanted to large containers, and am attempting to mitigate by watering only around base of stem every 3 days. How they looking? 2 in large tub are orange velvet Cinderella and others are gelato all feminized from reputable seed bank.

Update. One ready to go 12/12, others lagging. Only have one tent so I’m debating my options.

I was forced to put these into flower early, leaves on large one folding in is a concern. Any suggestions? 3 weeks in to 12/12 watering every 2-3 days and foiliar feeding w/sprayer (same nutes as soil water) ph of water going in 7.0 coming out base at closer to 6.0.
 
Yep Magnesium for sure. Do you have good drainage? What is the Run offs PH? Hang in there my friend. Cat fix tbe damaged leaves but you can make the new ones green.

That pot has drainage issue, I tried to remedy by drilling extra holes. It’s a coco soil mixture which has proven to be mistake. Really having to go light on watering. I went a little heavier on nutes recently so I was afraid of lockout. I have been adding cal-mag at max recommendation. Due for a flush w/tap water just treated w/cal mag. Should I increase to above recommended dilution ya think?

My others are looking good. Small bc I was forced to go 12/12 early
 
I would go bananas drilling holes around the sides of the bucket and give it a good flush. Last of the flush water give it half a shot glass of Epsom salts to a gallon of water and wait for it to really dry out before your next watering.
