Girls have been mainlined and are starting their training. They're showing signs of light burn and nutrient burn. I know the salt content is too high in the soil because droplets are forming on the leaves overnight and leaving salt spots. Soil is testing a little high on the pH (around 7) so I'm watering with a lower ph regimen and far less nutes to see if I can get the girls back on track. Luckily these are issues that can be fixed well before flower and shouldn't affect the final product too much. I'll probably let them veg for an extra week before throwing them in flower due to the mainline and burn stress.
Tbh I think the strain is just sensitive to nutes and light while it's young. My strawberry cough plant in the same tent with the same conditions and nutrients looks gorgeous, so I think the soil mix isn't great for this strain and my nutes were probably a week early.
@SSSC_John, Patience has never been my strong-suit because of ADHD but growing plants has definitely helped me get better at it over time. This is my 3rd grow ever but I've learned a lot and I think these are looking to be my best flowers yet. Thanks!! Can't wait to take final pictures before harvest - I'll be using photography lights and a black backdrop on a motorized rotating stand!
@Mrs_Larimar, I thought of that too and also pulled up the light a few inches away from the plants but I just never wrote it aha. I was using the BP2500 but I switched to my SE7000 far above the canopy for 600 PPFD + CO2 and the problem has stopped progressing ^^
