Moving fast at 3rd nodes already. Moving so fast that the leaves are hitting the sides. Will plant a bit higher in the pot next time. Considering topping, fimming and bending options. Might top one tomorrow.

Coming along nicely. One had the tips of top leaves slightly curling but this seems to have sorted itself out and not a concern atm. Defoliated some lower fading leaves. Keep the cut offs for low grade kief later..

Defoliated a bit on the yellowing leaves over the last week and removed the last of the lower fan leaves. Also took some (just a small few to avoid stress) upper leaves blocking light to lower sites. Keeping on the with spreading out with the Scrog and doing some larger leaves under tucking. First time using a net and very happy with the method - makes so much sense/i.

(15th photo) I've a few leaves which are not looking the best. Does this look like a pH problem or does anybody have other info? I have dropped a bit of lemon into this plant which is the only one with this issue which has not touched the other 2 plants under the same regime. Tx

Looks like you need a PK boost to me, you're a little early into flower for natural fade which is likely not far off maybe 2 weeks or so away, not often is PH a issue with organic soil, I would give them a PK boost and go from there, not very long from now you're going to see natural fade and you might get worried but that normal, in a month when start to flush you'll see even more so just relax and watch them buds bloom...Good luck

Great advice provided for the issue. I have been conservative with nutrients and always expected some mistakes, but lesson learned. Thanks to: Whiteybulger1814 GrowingGrannie (just a few drops of lemon very diluted but doing that was enough to make me realize I needed to get help) ZooKeeper CULTIVATORFROG for your advice. Now to see what progression ensues. Seems to have recovered well enough though it has advanced a it ahead of the other 2 but not too much. Hopefully looks like harvest in a couple of weeks. Can not wait!! (but will)

Back right (the close up, pic#6, sticky as hell and with nice brown pistils and white trichomes) is almost ready so will flush over next few days. The other 2 will get another week and maybe more. Have shortened the lights to 14/10 and dropped the power to 75% for the last stretch.
