First Time Indoor Grow - Need Your Help

Looks good so far, and nice bit of stretch too! Any reason you picked 3am for the lights to go off, and is there a reason you don't trust your timer?

It’s my ability to set the timer correctly with my crap eyesight and my ocd that makes me wanna check it.
Chose 3pm - 3 am trying to keep temps in tent down … plus it was already 3 pm - 9am
We‘ve had 38° C days here lately but I've never seen the temp in the tent rise over 35°

I thought maybe 6am would still be cool enough (and get you another three hours of sleep 😴) but if it's getting hot early then I guess no rest for the weary!

Starting to see dry/burnt tips on leaves.

lack of water?
Nutes?
 
Browning of the tips usually is a result of nutrient burn, and many growers consider that the sign you're giving your plant just enough food. The theory is that without tip burn you don't know if you're underfeeding!

Can you get a pic in natural light? It will make it easier to diagnose because your lights might make the leaves look yellower than they are.

15 minutes before light starts to get some pics.

Also……for a sealed tent I can’t work out why my fan is rusting!

Humidity is why fans might be rusting
 
Mindblank said:
Yes I think so. 30° + each day and pouring rain…….so humidity is an issue. Plus it’s a cheap fan from Amazon

Yea i have the same fans mine seem OK still, you might be near the coast ?
 
I'm with @ThirdUncle about needing nitrogen, and everything else to my eye. They look universally underfed to me.
 
Does your feed show npk ratio?

I usually feed extra N first few weeks, till she's perky and green with envy
 
I found this, but no specific ratio.

Specially formulated with a blend of Maxicrop seaweed extract, major nutrients and trace elements in the one product. It is absorbed quickly through the plant foliage or roots. Has increased levels of potassium to encourage plants to fruit and flower.

Benefits:

Enhances strong healthy root development to establish plants faster
Improves flowering, fruiting and growth
Helps increase nutritional value for better shelf life
Better resistance to climatic conditions, insect and fungal attack



I would use that feed thru flower. But you should look around and find something specific for vegetation! I have been experimenting with coffee grounds for natural nitrogen boost.

Open to any suggestions on what I should be using that’s available in Australia
Only thing I have with high N is for the lawns lol
