11/01 Day 29 - Nutrient burn symptoms have started to present on the tips of leaves. Around midnight I did some LST on Bleu. Bent the main stem over at 90 degrees and used pipe cleaners to begin spreading out the other growth tips. Interested to see how the plant responds overnight. 11/02 Day 30 - Nute burn symptoms haven't progressed since yesterday, and Bleu responded really well to the LST which leads me to believe the nutrient stress isn't severe. That said, the reason I haven't flushed yet is because the pots are still holding quite a bit of moisture from my last watering 3 days ago. Will reassess the burnt tips and moisture level tomorrow, and then make a decision on what to do. Also planning to train Pinky and Blanche tomorrow. However, if I've learned one thing from the more experienced growers here, it is better to listen to the plants than to impose my "plans" on them. I'm really excited about how quickly Bleu bounced back from the LST training. I've counted 11 bud sites so far and hope to give them as much light as possible by continuing to tuck the big fan leaves. She's so bushy that I may need to defoliate her at some point but for the time being I'm trying to minimize stress as much as I can. EDIT: after reading the comments of other growers I’ve raised my lights back up to 28-30 inches above the tops of the plants. 11/03 Day 31 - Bent and tied down Pinky and Blanche. Nute burn symptoms have stopped progressing, but plants continue to look stressed. Flushed the soil with water PH'd at 6.5. Let them sit in the bathtub until the excess had drained out. Raised the lights another 4 inches and so now 32-34 inches above the canopy. Seems like the best thing to do now is leave them alone for the next 4-5 days and hope they recover well. 10/04 Day 32 - Added another fan to direct airflow towards the bottom of the pots, and turned up the exhaust fan to keep the RH <50%. 10/06 Day 34 - Some minor LST and minor defoliation today and yesterday. Coming along.

I’m running a viparspectra 600W reflector series LED 30 inches above these seedlings with only the veg lights turned on. The seeds went in the water 14 days ago and my question is: when should I turn on the bloom lights as well?

If you want tight internodes and keep her short and squat. Use the veg switch only. But if you want more vigorous growth with a little stretch I recommend using both switches. And if you pick option one you can keep veg switch on till week 3 of flower then turn both switches on. This will keep those internodes tight set you up with some nice dense bud.

Nute Burn Plan. Lower light to 24 inches and turn on bloom switch. Flush soil with 8 litres of water (PH 6.5) per pot. Questions: will increasing the intensity of light increase plants ability to absorb nutrients, or simply stress them more? Is 8L water/ 10L pot enough to flush?

@MediciGrade Dont lower your lights as the extra heat will only add to the stress of a nutrient toxicity. Do your plain water flush until the runoff ppm is back to wherever it was before you overfed.

Bleu (largest of the 3 plants) is ~14 days behind the other 2. Is such a variance in size & rate of maturation common when growing from seed? Does LST/HST amplify the differences between phenotypes? She's so tall I'm worried about light stress. Should I reduce the light schedule?

Reduce the light and you will reduce your yield. LST and hst will amplify nothing , it will keep them shorter and will allow you to build a shape but will not reduce the way they are growing , a tall plant remains tall and a short plant remains short , you can manage the height and size but that's all. From seed you have different type of shape , smell and colours due to the multiples phenotypes available, you make your selection to keep a clone and maybe creating a clone only strain ( I am calling it a clone only phenotype , a strain is not a cutting )

Brown spots and yellowing pictured above. My best guess is a Cal/Mag deficiency. Was feeding Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus at 1 ml/l up until ~2 weeks ago (friend has been watering while I was out of town). Before I feed her, any advice on what the problem is and how to correct it?

I think this is down to the pH being slightly low, try to increase it to 6.5 and flush as budx says. It could be pests so check under the leaves very closely for any evidence... I hope its the first issue. 🌱😁

Flushing in fabric pots is not to easy, because tey keep everything very well inside. because of theis you will have to let them dry ( bottom area) before you get them back in the box. I put my plants for a nicht on a grid lot let them drip out

@Mrs_Larimar, Great point! I hadn't thought about that. I'll have to figure out a way to elevate them from their saucers and direct airflow underneath the pots.

10L of plain water in a 10L pot, is enough if the soil isn’t too dry. Just make sure there’s about 7L to 8L from the drain. Water should be clear and clean at the end of flushing.
