Last week I fought some yellowing of the leaves. Did some small adjustments on PH to keep it in the 5.6 range. Seemed to stop it from progressing.
For Week 3 Veg I topped the plants. I plan to flip the lights at the end of week 3 and move into flower.
Day 15
I continued to have yellowing leaves even though I had everything looking right. (Added Pic). I decided to look into the PH to see if I was having issues with it. I have a meter in the water 100% of the time taking a reading every 1 sec. It all looked right. But I decided to Calibrate it in 4,7,10 solutions. Found out that my meter was off. So new to the check list is to calibrate the meter before each grow.
I was thinking my PH was High, when in reality it was low. put in some PH up to get it back to 5.5 and over the last 16 hours things look pretty good. Leaves look darker.
Day 17
Things are looking good. Leaves are getting darker and new growth coming in.
Day 18
Turned room temp down to 73F from 76F. Fearing it is warming up my res tank too much.
Day 19
Starting to get yellowing again. checked everything and can't find a good reason for it. Did notice some cloudiness in my res tank. Added 2 ML/Gal of peroxide. have Hydroguard on the way to help. I'll be adding more fans this weekend. I have light air movement currently.
Also found a few spider mites and sprayed Greencleaner to all plants.
Current environment settings:
Room Temp 72.74 F
Room Humidity 63.63% (After spraying, Trending down).
Room CO2 589PPM
Tank PH 5.70
Tank PPM (500 Scale) 953
Tank Temp 74.05 F
Day 20
Recalibrated my EC probe just to be sure it was also accurate. wasn't off by much.
Dialed back my flooding to every 5 hours to encourage Rooting. <-- Strong roots = strong Plants
Sprayed for mites

Peace & love L.S.T 🌟❤️🔥
Your gonna top a flowering plant ? You would be far better off bending the tops over instead of cutting off your main colas . Set up looks killer by the way
@Rodamis_Prime, So far it has been a lot of learning on how to tune the room correctly. I was in Tents in here before. That turned out ok. But felt I could do something better.
@Rodamis_Prime, Thanks, I did some low stress training a few times, but in a much different setup. Not sure why I didn't think of just bending them over. All I was thinking was keeping them out of the light. That Kaya's Coffee is a freaking Tall plant...
Man for an indica dominant strain they are stretching hard like a saliva. I wonder if the light being so high up had that effect on them when they where younger . Room is looking amazing .maybe that's the sativa side of the genetics for these girls . My tutankhamon strain is indica dominant and damn those bushes are barely over my knee and nodes every inch on almost every branch lol .
