I keep them green and ignore EC numbers.

If they're light green they need a splash more grub, dark green they need a splash less grub.

Week 2 of flower and they'll be hungry whilst stretching so you should be at or around the max feed for them.

Give us some decent pics of the plants and we can have a look.

FRONT 2 on the left are short than the rest as I topped them and decided not to with the others this time round

I’m trying to go back to basics which yielded so well years ago and topping was never a thing I done

Worth a punt to see how they go

When they stop the stretch and growing soon I will raise the lights right up and set to 100% intensity on the lights

I know if the tips are burning
I know if they are drooping
I know if there is an insect problem

But other than that every morning is the same “oh yeh they look good”

I want to learn so much be feel stupid asking daft questions on here even though you guys are so helpful and patient

Mate nothings ever a daft question here. We were all beginners once, I'm still learning after many crap grows under my belt, but each grow will improve.

I've learnt to keep it simple, environment is a big factor rather than pumping every nute under the sun hoping its going to fix things :) just my 2p worth.

You will learn to read them more, and the more you share on here in terms of photos, the OG's of this hobby will be able to help and identify stuff as well..you'll learn that way as well

Nope, look nice and well fed, have been a bit warm lately.

Judging by how far into flower your plants look, I'd say all systems go for a smooth cruise into the finish line.

Personally, I'll say it again... Personally... I'd start dropping the feeds back a bit and adding a splash of a bloom booster or light dash of pk.

But them look sound as a pound, some folks like running high feeds through flower, I like to start dropping it fast n hard and watching the pretty colours.

Good luck dude.
