day 8 - i think i might have a small issue. i think the ph level of the coco is a bit high, my runoff water is about 6.8, i really want to get the run off down to under 6.5 ... the coco might be a little bit too salty because its new the kush plant is yellowing, which im assuming is from overwatering. im going to not water my plants today and see how they take it. i watered heavily last night to try and flush out some more of the salts / lower the ph of the coco. i ordered a new light last night, the HLG320 4000k. i am tired of having to adjust the hlg65 and hlg135 seperately, so i figured might as well go with a light thats the full length of my tent. eventually, ill throw in an hlg320 3000k, have both turned way down, so during flower the coverage is very even. also, im debating getting my light turned down on the seedlings right now. now its around 30-35k lux, but i might have it turned down into 25k lux range for the day. i day 10 - a little bit of tacoing on charlottes #1 and cheese #2, turned down the light intensity by about 10%

I'm having an issue with two of my plants, the leaves are curling upward right at the base of the leaf. My humidity is right at 57-60%, heat goes fro 76-81 during the day, watering once a day. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Im on day 10, by the way.

Leaves can curl for a variety of reasons, ph problems, extreme humidity high or low, light and heat stress, as well as overwatering. I see you water each day, they may not need that, perhaps every other day, typically if top soil is dry up to your 1st or 2nd knuckle. I also see your light is at 18 inches, I think many led companies recommend about 24inches at this stage, but that could cause the light and heat stress. The plants look pretty good to me and I think this just a temporary problem with a few minor changes. However 55% isnt a bad humidity for this stage. I think give her a healthy flush, move the light, possibly add an additional small fan and things should take off again. Best of luck with the tweaking of circumstances. Happy growing.

Day 15 Auto kush is good Cbd cheese are good Charlottes are good....I almost killed one of them by attempting to transplant it to a bigger pot. I ripped a solid 50% of the roots. The plant is going to live, it’s just obviously stunted. Sorry Charlotte :/

Day 21 - I've increased the amount of floramicro (my 'nitrogen' base) I started out at 1/4tsp a gallon, moved up to 1/2tsp a gallon and am now at a full 1tsp per gallon. I'm not seeing any form of nitrogen burn, but my plants were very lime green for their whole life, but now they are starting to darken up and look more normal. I figured they are big enough now to use the recommended dose, and 1/2tsp was keeping them too lime green/underfed looking. The charlotte that had damaged roots is back to growing, so she is out of shock now. I took my black tray liners out because they made it so hard to vacuum my runoff water. My tent has a reflective mylar liner anyway, which is super easy to vacuum from. I'd take more pics but the plants smell so damn bad already and im not even in flower yet!!!

I feel like my grow is completely messy and blocking light to bud sites, will defoliating some of the side branches kill my plant and hurt my yields?

Hi there! No, you can tuck a few fan leaves a day it should not hurt the plant. Make sure to remove only the leaves that are creating shades onto your bud sites, and act by priority. Hope this helps, happy growing!

calcium deficiency, correct right now added in massive bloom drew back florabloom a little to compensate for added PPM's of massive bloom day 16 of flower - flowering seems to have been slowing down, im guessing due to calcium deficiency (found some brown spots) and a potential nitrogen deficiency (lower y leaves under canopy are yellowing, upper leaves sucking nitrogen from them)
