Reverted to veg schedule 3 weeks back & plants haven't quite recovered yet. I switched to a 19/5 schedule on the day that I posted & have been feeding them more nutrients with minimum day gaps to keep the soil dry. Gnats still present to some extent, but usually reduced. Plants haven't reverted to vegetative growth yet, just ran out of veg nutrients so I will likely have to order more. Plants haven't grown much, although they developed some basic flowers almost immediately after I changed the schedule back to veg. Should I cut the flowers to revert to veg? Should I return to flower and finish? I'm okay with waiting a little longer, getting some extra nutrients and getting them to a healthier stage before continuing flowering to get a better yield & healthier plant, but I'd also like to not kill my plants so if going back to flower, and using my flower nutrients that are already here is the way to go here would be good to know. I also think that some stress on the plants may have been due to cold nights, had the intake & tower fan on 24/7, but the weather has been incredibly cold lately so I've put the tower fan on the same schedule as the lights. This may also be why the stems are quite dark/not green in earlier photos, so hopefully that makes some difference. (I can put the exhaust on the same schedule as well if need be, but I don't think it's that cold) Took photos just after lights off with phone light, as the HPS light makes it difficult to judge leaf color accurately I think

I was thinking of topping my plants in about a weeks time after they're a little more established in their larger pots unless the stressed one doesn't start to bounce back. Does it seem to early for that?

Hi! Usually topping is done when there is 5-6 nodes grown. If you have stunted growth and little bit struggling I would wait until she is growing helthy and strong and only then I would top her. Topping causes lots of stress to the plant and if she is already stressed it will take longer to heal from it. Topping a healthy plant will not stress nearly as much and she will bounce back much faster. If you are not in a hurry I suggest that you take your time with the girl and heal her good before topping! 👌

One of my plants has a discoloured spot on it but otherwise looks pretty healthy, any ideas of what may have caused it & if I should be too concerned about it?

Hi! Its probably nothing. The leafs are so fragile to take damage from anything. It can be a drop of nutrient water or too acidic/alkaline water or something similiar. Most of the time one random spot on thr plant means nothing. Keep an eye on it tho if it spreads but I'll doubt it!

One of my plants has started to have it's lower leaves curl upwards & started to go a yellow tint that's harder to see in my images. Yellow tint is starting higher up as well I think, but the curling is only on the low leaves. Is it nutrient defficiency, heat stress, wind stress?

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Tbh shes very young still and its probably damage from water wen she was a baby.. Her leaf curl is just drying out at her tip because of prior damage.. Ideally u shud b watering her with ph'd solution at ranges from 6-6.5 in soil.. Because she's at wk 4 i dont think she will of consumed all potential food in soil stil so if u do decide to feed her only give her 1 feed at a very low ratio.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

I'm my 3rd week since changing my light to HPS & schedule to 12/12, but my plants are losing some leaves & haven't stretched much at all, should I reveg & let them heal before flowering, or persevere with flowering? Plants are <90cm (fan is 90cm), in a 6ft tent with 400w HPS/MH

нужно её вылечить перед цветением! У неё недостаток азота, бро ! Увеличьте в 2 раза свою добавку Grow! Установите кислотность своей почвы в значении ph 6.1 👆 Только после восстановления она сможет удачно цвести!

You mentioned flies...did they jump out when watering? If so there springtails and are your friends, also turn your light off when spraying!! Those lower leaves may be get burnt, ive noticed your stems are purple, not sure if it's the strain yet that's a sign off humidity which should be around 55/65% at this stage, temps should be no lower then 18°C, magnesium deficiency, light exposure or in correct pH, Coco is 5.7/6.2 and soil is 6.2/6.5, overall she looks great for a first grow

@FullFuzzy, as you mentioned they have wings and are tiny flies I'm looking more to fungus gnats, let your medium dry out a fair bit and make sure it's 2 inches dry on the top as if left wet for to long they will lay larva and if the top is wet for so long. Soil you can get away with watering 3 times a week pushing 2. Make sure air is blowing on top of your soil, cut back on watering for a few days, if that doesn't solve it apply sticky pads to misting the top of the soil evenly to kill the larva, I haven't done it with coffee grounds so I can't say anything to do with that I'm affraid, it's not necessary to check run off PH to the soil PH as long as what's going in and I personally would aim for PH6/6.2, I haven't used bio verge and I've just did a quick look and that's rich in nitrogen which is vital for the vegetative stage and should not be PH adjusted. Most tend to use calmag or epsom salt to treat that deficency

@@@Ajwardy18, the flies do seem to jump out when watering, is there any other way to differentiate them from gnats? They're quite tiny so they're hard for me to identify properly, they're small & black. Not sure of the humidity, will see if I have something to measure that, temps are stable at above 20C (even through the night), reaching max 28C on hot days, usually at a more comfortable 25-26C. I tried using an old tool for measuring the soil PH a couple weeks back and it was saying 7 PH which seemed too alkaline based on what I added to it, but I covered the topsoil with some coffee grounds to try and improve the PH regardless but haven't checked since then. The tool was a little dirty & in storage for a good while so I wasn't sure of the accuracy, but I might use it on some other soil to see whether I should trust it, and measure the soil PH again. My soil is a combination of Coir & Soil, so should I be aiming for around 6.2PH? With the magnesium deficiency, would my nutrients (Bio Vega) be able to help with that or should I get something else to address that? Thanks for the advice EDIT: They do have wings & fly around pretty confidently, it's to my understanding that springtails don't have wings & just hop? Thanks again
