Performed a fairly heavy defoliation, which is probably not obvious from the photo. Removed at least two plastic grocery bags of undergrowth, shoots that were never going to reach the top, and select fan leaves that were blocking bud sites. Starting this week, I will no longer be feeding any Nitrogen, and will probably start to shift the CalMag down as well (it's labeled 1-0-0, so must be Calcium Nitrate). Parts of the canopy are now hitting ~1100 PPFD, with averages in the ~850 range which would've been unthinkable a month ago. The plants aren't bothered by the light intensity at all. Daytime temperatures have been running a bit higher over the last week (78-79F), with relative humidity ~60%. Starting with week three of 12/12, I've increased my airflow, which has helped to reduce humidity to the 55% range, while also maintaining slightly lower temperatures (76-77F). I had a very brief window during which the air circulation went offline and temperatures reached 85F, but the plants showed absolutely no signs of stress, and the issue was remedied quickly. Can't say this has been an "easy" process for me since I've been learning the hard way (as I go), but have high hopes that I'll make it to the end.

@new2medicine, it sounds like you're putting a lot of thought in it, and that's why im sure they weil turn out fine.

@kohlrabi much appreciated. One can only hope they'll live to see the day. They're in the hands of inexperience, which is-- risky at the very least. Giving it my best shot. I know it's old-school with the HID lighting and such, but as a former reef keeper HID was familiar and something I already had on-hand. Controlling temps is a challenge, but so far I've been able to get away with it by moving enough air. As they put on new leaves I'm thinking more and more about transplanting to their final containers (5 gallon fabric pots on racks with casters and pans to catch the run-off). For the time being, I think I'm going to leave them alone in the Solo cups until they put on at least one more set of leaves-- not a science driven decision, but the leaves are already well outside the perimeter of the cup and I've been surprised how quickly the stems are thickening up. Take care!

@new2medicine, Oh it is? Well the biggest tip I give everyone is don't get stressed out...these plants can usually bounce back from just about any mistreatment if you pay attention to what it is telling you. And, if you are not sure about something, you can hit me up anytime with the "Chat" button at the top of my profile. Good luck and have fun in any case!

@@@resimax thanks! Hoping for the best and trying to keep my hands off as much as possible to let nature do its thing. I normally have a bit of a green thumb and enjoy growing all kinds of things, but this is my first real attempt with cannabis. I'm sure before it's over, there will be some kind of crisis to mitigate. 😆 FWIW, it IS a lot of fun!

When transplanting the problem plant did u happen to disturb the root system? I'm on my first non auto medical plants from my state, during my transplant I noted the one of my four plants I disturbed the roots during trans. It has been definitely stunted as compared to the other 3. I am doing 3 Jesus OG and 1 Iron horse and one of my J.O.G.'s is doing it. I don't have spots tho. I'm a newbie take it with grain of salt.

@98greenlude- it's possible. I'm not going to sweat it too much since I don't have much experience. Though I think I'll probably abandon it sooner or later rather than continue spending time and money worrying about it. Three out of four isn't bad from my point of view.
