Critique a newbie's grow?

This is the final plant as of right now. Pathetic.

Keep feeding it. How far is the light from the top? You have 4+ weeks to go.

I keep the light 22" from the plants, per the manufacturer.
What about the yellowing leaves?

I hope I can apply whatever advice I get to the remaining plant. I don't want to start another grow until I get a clue.

This is why you'll become better. The amount of clowns here, cause they could never ask and want to listen to others, is staggering and they grow dumb ass looking plants. That's my way of saying shit

I regret not checking the pH with every feeding. I have well water and I measured the nute solution at the beginning and it was 6.5. Could have changed. Do you think the yellowing is a deficiency?

Don't chase ph in soil, ditch the calmag, you are using well water. The mushroom bag is a waste of time and money.
What size inline fan are you using? Where do you dump the air from the tent? What's the RH and temps?

Fan is GrowBright 170cfm 4" inline. Tent just dumps into the room. No other option. 7s degrees F, 54% humidity.

Not bad but you really want to dump to another room at minimum.

I'm lucky enough to be allowed a grow tent in the master bathroom. Lol. First house I've ever owned without a basement.

"allowed"?

I watched a video by Mr. Canuck. He used coco and amended with Gaia Green. His buds were huge. He didn't amend again until day 40. Only watered.

That's your problem right there. That clown is undoubtedly one of the absolute worst growers there is. I don't understand why anyone would want to replicate his grow disasters. Plants are always half dead and burnt to a crisp. Just because he's posted some cheesy videos on youtube doesn't mean he knows anything about growing plants and it shows.

next time wait for the hairs on your buds to look like they started rooting/dying away thats one of the good signs they are finishing, last few weeks of flowering is when you get most of the fattening up as her last attempt to collect pollen

and spend a few days here looking at photos and reading it will help you a lot https://www.rollitup.org/t/guide-for-diagnosing-plant-problems.38772/

Thanks. I'll check it out this afternoon. What about trichomes? I didn't have any clear. They were cloudy and amber. That's why I chopped.

Don't worry about those.

I've been growing just over a year. Northern Lights autos from ILGM.

3-gallon fabric pots, Ocean Forest/perlite soil, Fox Farm nutrients trio, CalMag, pH 6.5, 18/6 LED lights, Exhale CO2 generator. This grow I started unsulfured molasses halfway through. LST with scrog net.

Bud sizes are pathetic. I just harvested 2 plants and got a whopping 2 quart jars. I didn't even weigh wet this time because I was so disgusted. I freeze dry, so I ended up with 10g after drying. Ten grams!

Is there any more info I need to provide. Someone just told me on FB he gets 1 pound per auto plant!

Stop using all that voodoo bullshit! Bottom half pot, FFOF w/ perlite 75/25, next layer Great White three teaspoons, root toner 1 teaspoon. Top layer FFHF, perlite 75/25. Put germinated seeds with tap roots in small hole with a 1/8 teaspoon root toner cover with any type peat only a little bit very light thin layer and hot house for 7 to 10 days. Only mist for first 7 to 10 days again plain tap water. Water only ph’ing to 6.0 to 7.0 after that. recharge every three weeks with a few tablespoons of FFOF, lights 18/6, humidity 60 to 70% 7 to 10 days remove hot houses, lower humidity to 50 to 60%. Temperature always 75 to 82. This will carry to the end very simple just try it. All the unicorn sweat and pixie dust will only get you in trouble and give you major headaches to much room for error autos are not forgiving. Every mistake you make the plants will make you suffer no time for adjustments.

Interesting reply @Nope_49595933949 , but I respectfully disagree. I've had one plant that never turned amber and still went to full couch lock because I just kept waiting for it, but I've grown hundreds and that only happened once. I've also had dozens of plants over the years that kept producing fresh white stigma/hairs right up to the point where the plant needed to be chopped, so for me that has been a far less reliable indicator.

There may not be a single 100% reliable universal indicator of readiness, but checking the trichomes has been the most reliable way to determine when the plant is done, in my opinion and experience.

Just sayin'

Light is RAW 130. I water when the pots are light. Turned out to be every 3 days. I use 2 gallons for 4 plants. What do you mean didn't fill out space?

This was my 5th grow. All of the grows went to flower at 4.5 weeks. That's when I switch nutes from Gro-Big to Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom.
Does that sound right?

You need more light. 130 draw from the wall won't get you much.

Until you fix that even maximized husbandry won't get you much.
