I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent? Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

I think this is the last vegetative week before flower, so I repotted it in the biggest pot I had and will probably LST in a couple days

No. Let the nodes grow. Only way that'll happen is by big fan leafs underneath them tat will force node growth and as she moves on these nodes will hv there own foliage. Atm the nodes just need to grow. Lst is not needed. U could use tie to bend the plant showing leaves more light or bend ur leafs so they all get good light.

Out of pre-flowering, the phase where I did light LST, the plant is now in the first week of flowering. Added some NPK nutes.

Flushed for the first time as I saw some nute burn on the tips. The plant is lush! I had to tie the LST cable... I fear it getting to high for my light, will have to find a way to take the lamp higher

Gottagro has never taken a real chemistry class, i promise you that based on what i just read. The whole ec/ppm percveptions are just .. i don't even know how to describe it in a polite way. This is well beyond preflower, whatever that is supposed to mean. This plant is not showing an N-tox because the leaves are not overly dark nor glossy. More than one thing can cause the tips clawing. The 'tacoing' of the serated tips could be temp or RH related - too high / too low, respectively. If this is from your diary, it looks like you've already reduced fertilization a bit because the plant is a bit lighter from week 5 to week 6. In week 6 you have some signs of interveinal chlorosis. I don't see any twisting that you mention. So, nothing is very clear right now. The symptoms do not point to 1 answer. I see a lot of fluctuation over the weeks in your diary, too. A couple weeks ago you had darker foliage and light green new growth. That's a sign of too much p or k.. so review how you've adjusted your fertilization lately and maybe that will help clear things up. Stop trying to follow some anecdotal nonsense and observe and react to the plant to make decisions.. don't just add p/k if the plant shows no demand for it. It's not foie gras. you cannot force feed a plant. If you've been waffling around with fertilization formula over the last few weeks, that a major part of what you are seeing now.

Hey, If you scroll through some of my diaries I've experimented around a LOT. From all types of methods and techniques. If you are going to defoliate, especially in early/mid flower as shown in the photo, then you want to trim the fan leaves ONLY. (Also look at the fan leaf stem, if it's green, do NOT cut that fan leaf). No need to go Edward sciscor hands. Just trim the fan leaves that are casting a shadow or preventing light from reaching any good buds you desire below. Now if you just want to leave it fine, your plant will have less stress and you mitigate a risk of a plant herming. I won't say it's a bad thing, as it teaches growers first hand and experience they won't forget and how to avoid it. Other than that, have fun and experiment around. May I recommend Dr bugbee or harley smith (YouTube). Happy growing

Doing VERY well! This week no banana tea, but some charcoal as nute I got lucky with this pheno... this plant was just a seed from an unknown seed bank / reseller but oh wow ! she is huge, very thick buds, smell is exceptional, very strong THC content (smoked an early bud this week, but she isnt ready yet) Can't wait to properly test it, will miss her

Well, nice harvest for such a little tent! Nice bushy plant for my first grow. It's very piney and fruity, a little skunky but it's still not cured THC levels seem low, not as written on the seed package this is something good for me, but actually not that good, you grow a seed expecting potency but you dont' get much, maybe I have made some mistakes or maybe it just needs to cure. Just a noob here, so I don't know the plant is very sticky! can't wait to smoke test a properly dried bud thank you little plant!
