On day 13 they recieved higher nutriens EC 1 PH 6.4 Topped 4 plants on day 17 On day 17 I gave them another too hot nutrients solution EC 1.8 PH 6.5 can see some problems (in my opinion its nuts burn due not me realizing that soil was already a bit pre-fertilized + pushing everything too far due to its my first grow I found out at day 17, when I saw first signs - sadly I topped them that day and I brought them a lot more stress 😒 Transplanted plants into final 15l pots on day 20 Right now they are getting RO water only, will feed on day 22 again with EC of 0,9 I will aim for 6.2 PH as well EDIT: couple of people confirmed nutrients burn, so since I transfered 1l pots into 15l fresh lighmix, I will not feed until day 26 - they will get only hydro roots with RO water EDIT2: Forgot to write info about my light schedule - running lights at 240W and right now I am hitting around 375 PPFD with 18hrs on - so that is around 24.3 DLI :) I am checking it with LUX meter and converting to PPFD - then DLI

Yup, just like your last question, and now I see the diary linked to this one. Good Work! To strong of a feed and to soon. You fed 1EC on day 13 and then 1.8ec on day 17 Feed em once a week with a bit of runoff to prevent buildup. water for any other needs till next feeding time but do no get runoff. With RO water you will want a little something in it as its void of nutrients and agressive, so the root boost is good. could even do 1/4 or 1/6ththe strength of the other stuff so its hitting 100ppm or 0.2EC just a little something but not much of anything. My tap water comes out around 130ppm. Also your light seems very strong, 730 watts at 35" or 90cm hang height seems ok. but what dim setting is it on? Just watch the plants and if they are getting to compact and short internode spacing dim the light more. Would be good to find out your DLI, can ballpark it with PPFD maps of your light. online says its dim button can do 250W, 400W, 600W or 730W. I would email them for recommended hang heights and PPFD maps if they did not come with any. I'd also prob dim that down to 250w for the 4x4 tent. 16square feet, 250/16 = 15w per square foot is good for seedlings. 400w is around 25w per square foot and that's a good amount for veg and flower. To answer your other question on your diary with the video of the plant. its variegation. Plants sometimes do this when they are young and nothing to worry about, it should grow out of it. If not its just pigment of the leaves and does not really indicate much of anything.

looks like bad watering habits. Make sure when you irrigate that you fully saturate a pot. If a pot stays wet too long from doing this simple act, it is either poorly constituted or the plant is too small for the pot - both self-inflicted problems. Wait for top 1/2-1" to dry in "soil" and repeat. If coco, when the top layer starts to change color, repeat. if soillesss, get 10% runoo minimum, otherwise just ensure full volume gets wet with a little runoff to conserve amendments. Keep on on the node spacing at the top. If you have had good watering habits, it might be drooppy from a tad too much DLI. This sort of borderline thing can takes weeks before you see the effects.
