Week 3 and the girls are pushing some small branches and everything is looking on point. The living soil is starting to break down the organic matter inside the Gaia Green 4-4-4 perfectly. i also started some homemade strains on nov 30. (bottom left)This Oreo Blizzard clone phenotype showed very different leaf and bracht patterns, hyper vigor and extreme potency so i clipped a branch that was flowering and re-vegged.

i started to LST the Black Diamond in order to get my ppfd nice and even across the whole canopy. Melonade runts are getting their LST next week. Homemade strains are catching well and are showing indica dominant phenotypes. i also started some LST and FIMming on the Oreo Blizzard Clone

Starting some LST this week in order to get the plants ready for the trellis netting that is going up at the beginning of week six. Transplant from 1.5 gallon to 5 gallon at the beginning of week seven is to take place as well. Gaia Green amendments are being used during the entirety of this project.

Start of week seven and everything seems to be going well. First time using trellis and honestly its working perfect. everything is growing at a decent pace and plants seem responsive to the training. If anyone has comments or constructive criticism it would be great to hear.

Start of week eight and the plants have recovered well from a heavy defoliation midway through week seven. The humidity levels were not dropping fast enough for comfort. 25 clones were also taken, 5 from each plant.

Week 10 and the plants are doing great. Lots of branches growing and all are growing at a steady pace. Second trellis netting was put into place to encourage an even canopy in preparation for the flowering stage.

Thank you for taking the time to read this question and I hope all is well, but is there anyone that can please help me with any information about why the leaves are turning the way they are with the Melonade Runtz that I have labeled as #3 in the pictures.

Definitely too much defoliation. The plant will need some time to recover. You can leave the leaves on and pinch out the side shoots if you scrog until you have substantial leaf growth above your netting. This will keep your plant growing with proper photosynthesis. As for the coloring and curling, it could be due to PH being off, or your feeding habits. Hard to say without knowing what your nutrient schedule is.

Your defoliation is to aggressive. and was not needed. Diary does not say what you are feeding it. how much or how often. Typically tacoing of leaves can be from Height RH Or light. Don't know your lights model, nothing is listed in the diary. Could be to close or to strong. RH and Temps seem ok @ 27c and 50% Guessing its multiple issues presenting as this. Mostly tied int feed/watering habbits and lighting

It’s kinda hard to get a good look at the leaves with the picture you’re providing. When you zoom in it’s not any better. Really pixelated/blurry. If you could provide a closer/clear picture that’d be great. Meanwhile just a shitty guess from what I CAN make out looks like an iron deficiency
