I'm actually at 25 days in on my very first grow. I will water today with .75ml/L for the first time, before that was .50ml/L. I live in a tropical climate so the temps are what they are. Unfortunately we are in a heat wave and drought. I started LST too late so I'm doing my best to at least pull the new growth (branches) out from the main plant and vegetation and down/out into the light. In 8 hours the vegetation comes right back and it looks like I did no LST at all. When doing my very first LST I snapped the main stem on the right plant by about 70%. I quickly put it back in place with a support and there were very little negative effects. Only 3 leaves partially yellowed at the end mostly. I suspect that the cupping on the edges of a few leaves is from the stress of the break? I did FIM them both at just under 3 weeks. My medium is a mix of the following. 15% organic compost, 20% vermicasted cow manure, 15% peat moss, 15% coco peat, 25% commercial non soil potting mix and 10% carbonized rice hulls.

On the right plant in diary pic it shows slight upward cupping on the edges of a few leaves. There are a couple of others on the other side. But 95% of the leaves are fine. During my first try at LST I broke the main stem by 70%. I think this caused the cupping?

I looked at you diary. Your plants look perfectly fine and normal. If you want, you can give your plant a bit more space and the fan leaves will perk out more. Sometimes if you bunch plants up without a scrog net or enough space, the leaves that don't get much sunlight will have issues, but you're talking about maybe 1-3 fan leaves on the entire plant. Regardless things will be fine.

seems to be a bit over watered but other than that they look fine to me

I am concerned that the buds are still small and may come out as popcorn buds. BUT, this is my first grow. Just added week 6 to grow diary with pics. Just FYI, there is some leaf downturn in this photo. It was taken right after feeding and I always get that for an hour or so.

BIt to early to tell if they will be popcorn nugs, need to give them time to grow. To avoid smaller larfy buds you can strip the lower buds that are not in the canopy something known as lollipopping. Or add in side lighting to help them get the energy they need. It looks like the leaves are also curling up at the serated edge and I tend to see this with heat stress on the plants, the tent is at 31c and 70%RH in your diary and its the upper limit of temps and over limit on RH for budding plants IMO. If you can try and lower the temps to around 24-28c and the RH down to 40-50% you should find they will droop less. Keeping up good airflow is key. I'd say the PH maybe a touch to high as well but the plants look to be doing good with it. So I don't think you need to worry about that. Look up something called VPD. its a chart that helps you find some sweet spots in terms of temps/RH I think this could be a good tool for you. as well as a EC/PPM pen to determine the strength of your feeds. Best to dilute it down to the desired EC/PPM but keep the same mixing ratios. Good Luck!

Your plants look way over fed. Too much fertilizer during flowering will cause excessive leaf growth rather than bud growth. Are you watering to run off each time you irrigate, if not, nutrient salts will build up in the coco and this might explain why your plants droop after feeding. With coco, you should be aiming for approx 20% run off each time you irrigate to prevent salt build up, which can lead to a toxic conditions and even plant failure. Irrigating with less than half a gallon in 3 gallon pots might be the problem. If there is a build up of nutrient salts in the coco, this would show up as over feeding, as the nutrient become concentrated in the coco due to lack of run off. Flushing your pots with plain water then making sure you get decent run off each time you feed in future, may improve things. One thing is for sure, you should not be getting "leaf downturn" each time you feed........unless there already is a massive build up of salts in the coco.
