I agree with BigDoctorJ I think the plants look fine. I often get a little brown spot on the first leaves. They seem to grow out of it without any problems. I don't like looking at it so usually just cut the leaf off making sure I don't cut off any new shoots at the joint with the main stem.

First attempt at ponytail, let me know if I did it ok.
Also redid the LST on Samantha. Moved the paper clip anchors lower so I can bend more down instead of away. Trying to get the most exposure to the lower parts. Do you constantly LST or give them breaks? I heard ponytail is only supposed to be on like half the time they are in a light cycle

Ponytail looks good. I keep my LST in but make adjustments and sometimes remove it all and redo it.
Looks good man! I don’t cut the bottom guys off until they’ve started their first growth spurt. Go slow with autos and see how they respond to a couple plucks before you dive it

Let her hair down, so much growth on the bottom now. Like this ponytail so far. How often do you do it?
And Samantha just seems to boom from the LST. I adjust daily to keep getting her spread out

Pony Tailing looks perfect. The new shoots are really liking it. Just remember to take it off after 3-4 hours. I occasionally forget and it doesn't seem to do any damage.

Do you do it daily?

Yes I do it daily until the shoots are long enough for a little training. There is no limit on how long you do it.
Once the plants get a little larger many people tuck the big leaves underneath other leaves to open up the bud sites.
I like to top my plants and then train the shoots that were developed using pony tailing using LST to open up the middle of the plant and create more bud sites.
You're doing great.

Day 30 update. Started the girls on week 4 nutrient schedule today. Adjusted the LST straps and talked to them for a little while. They seem healthy. Hope this keeps up

Here’s a better shot of the spots on 2 of them
Noticed in a esrlier post that you watered with 7.0 PH. Is this the common PH value for feedings? I'd back that down to 6.2 personally
