-Dear Everyone,
New week! Hope everyone is having a good day! This week has been good, I trimmed a lot of "water leaves" and dead/decayed leaves. I noticed what I believe is a potassium deficiency, and I plan to go get something for it but I am not sure if it is totally worth doing it since I believe it could just be cannibalizing itself. I pulled probably a good 40 leaves off of the plant. This is my first indoor and probably my last because I will most likely be growing outdoor after this is done harvesting. The Crystals are really starting to show now. I plan on getting Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X, I will do further research towards the improvement of the growth and yield of my plants buds. I am trying to keep my PPM to 720. I started off at 950 and I don't think my plants liked it very much. I mentioned I was "root bound" last week but its more of so "Pot Bound" because I only have a 3 Gal. Pot Size and the roots just exploded. I should have transplanted a while ago to a 5 gal or even 7 but its to late and I have learned what more to focus on! Thank you everyone for sticking by my side during my grow and supporting the problems I have encountered. More info this next week. I'll focus on taking way better pictures next time also ;).
@biggreens420, I currently do not although I do have a Hyper Fan, which is exhausting the air or sucking air through and out. But I do not have a circulating air fan technically
Sorry to hear this brother hope you get back into the swing of things she doesn't look too bad see the main cola's have stretched alot but the rest of her looks well u might wanna remove the yellow dieing leaves hope things get better for you good luck
@biggreens420, Yes I believe so, I believe I have a Potassium Deficiency so Im planning on going to a hydroponic Store near me they are Masters at growing and I’ll get some advice from them also. But if you have any advice let me know
wow it's certainly been an interesting couple of weeks for this girl!
trying to tunnel through the lights, eh?
very good and vigorous early flower period!
Looks better without the dieing leaves do you have a fan circulating the air i can see the extractor but do u have a fan and i would say it's either calcium or phosphorus deficiency. calcium i would more point towards as the potassium deficiency starts from the outside of the leaf where as calcium or phosphorus start from the veins or middle

On the first couple of pictures, looking at that miniaturized and droopy plant , I would say the dark green leaves are the first sign of a Mag def, I can't see the stems but if they start to turn purple it is definetly a Mag def due to too much light.
Adding more Mag won't solve the problem, there is plenty enough in that new soil, you shall back up your light before it start to get worst.
My guess at the bug/hole in leaf is fungus gnat. They'll live and breed in your soil if your top soil stays wet too long too often. I suggest yellow sticky trap/paper to identify what kind of pest you got. Also, I recommend not transplanting those from the solo cups until their root systems are 100% filling the cups or you might just end up stunting them further.
My opinion, is top those plants, wait a week, top them again, then send them to 12/12. I know newer growers can get squeamish about cutting the plant but it will only end up increasing yield at harvest if done right. You just need to cut the "neck" after the socket-starts wherever there is a branch / top terminus. I edited one of your pictures and hosted it in some dead space of one of my diaries to illustrate. https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/3030/186267_prospecting-experiment-5customunknown-bag-seed-prospect-5_xl.jpg
@ProfoundWeedium, you're not wrong
his plant is very healthy and would stand a lot to gain by topping and training.
@npg123456789, best of luck, will follow your diary!
