1st grow, how's it looking?

Day 35 pics taken real quick. Sorry not the nest quality pics. Had overfed few weeks back which has seemed to be better since I backed off nutes. Definite differences in phenos all over. A few with a sweet citrus smell that seem to be further along. Excited and hoping they finish off well. I can only get better at this grow stuff right?
I just bought a mars 3000.... what was it you didn’t like about it? I’m still in early veg so wondering if I should switch lights

I have no complaints really. I have 3 of them in a 4x8' tent so I think good coverage. Just from what I've researched since purchasing the 3 and friends local I had better options. I'm in a legal state so even locally I could have gotten much better bar lights from what I'm hearing though would have probably cost me $500 total more. I originally threw two lights in the flower tent and planned to keep one in the 4x4' veg tent. I now have an HLG 300 or 330 (I forget) in the veg tent for now. The Mars was a good veg light it seemed and I don't have much to go off of experience wise and my skill level being a first grow nor what results I am getting. I could have vegged a bit longer and had planned for much more stretch. The lights were only about 60% at flip and have gradually went up and have been at 100% for about 4 days. So now 1,350 watts with 3 full blast. I may have been slow with adjustments but have errored on the side of caution throughout. Think I was late to up feeding with the ocean forest (going the coco route soon), I know I haven't overwatered etc. It'll be a descent harvest I think for first go but room to improve for sure so really no plans to rush to upgrade lights. I think at the price point the TS3000 is a good choice for new grower from start to finish.

Thanks for the information... it’s greatly appreciated! It seems this light will still be a good option for me. I picked it up before the prices went up think I paid less then 450 for it. Nice grow by the way! You have eased my worries

Day 55. breeder pack says 9 weeks, curious how long they will take? Some phenos definetely taking longer that lean more Diesel on the Apex.
They look pretty close If they were mine i would be chopping next week. Did you get a chance to cut some clones ?

I did cut a few clones off each plant. I eliminated about half. The other half will go in next and decide if any worth keeping around from there.
