I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves.
To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants.
After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6.
I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes!

So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small.
I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process.
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️
Ok guys, I assume all of us know at least a little about water PH. I need some expert advice. My soil PH is 7.0. I PH my water between 6.0 and 6.5. Which is important? The PH of the Soil, or water? If i need to lower my soil PH, how do i do it? Any dry ammendments that I can add?
Lowering soil PH is a bit more tricky. You can do it with additives you add into the water like PH down be it from any acids in liquid form. Or you can do it from a amendment perspective by adding in Sulfur compounds that when broken down by microbes release Sulfuric acid that also lowers the PH without having the need to touch the water. Same with the alternative of raising PH, garden lime for the dry amendment option and PH Up for the water additive, normally made out of potassium of some sort, carbonate or hydroxide are the main ones I see.
Indoors most people alter the water and call it a day, outdoors is easier to alter the soil its self as rain and such tends to water it.
With plants grown in soil. I find the PH can drift upwards without much negative effect on the plants. I aim for 6.5-6.8 baseline and only really try and correct it if the PH goes above 7.5-7.8 their will be pockets in the soil that are higher and lower and it evens everything out.
Your plants will also tell you if something is wrong and your plants look healthy, so I don't think there is anything to worry about. I woud keep doing what your doing and if you feel the need to alter PH, using a water additive would be best as not to disturb the roots in flower.
