nitrogen deficiency? not sure...but one thing for sure is that i have to move then into bigger pots ASAP!

The plants are recovering from Nitrogen deficiency ( not sure yet). Lower leaves started having brown spots on one of them and the rest of the plants suffered from curling lower leaves.

Beginning of week 4, Girla are recovering from nitrogen deficiency (allegedly). Gave each one 1.5L of hard water pH'd 6.0 And GHE Flora series nutrients. I stopped using Atami nutrients because their soil feeding charts NPK values makes no sense and the result were not good also. I'm using Chronic's (from YouTube) nutrients ratio starting with 1.25ml/L of floramicro, 1.75ml/1L floragrow and 0.5ml/1L of florabloom. Just out of curiosity and because I saw that the opinions on the web regarding testing soil runoff water are divided, I tried it. My runoff's throwing my a 4.6 PH and 2500+ PPM. Is that OK for soil? I'm using an organic compost. Also figured out that as long as I'm not using auto flowering seeds, the veg state can be as long as I want so I'm gonna keep it up with the 18/6.

Veg Day 30, plants really matured in the last few days and the tallest is reaching 25cm already. Plants had been fimed 6 days ago and you can see their progress in the pictures. Today was feeding day at last! Last watering (no nuts) day was 6 days ago so I got scared a bit although they didn't show any signs of under watering and the soil wasn't too dry. Runoff water still giving me weird readings with 4.9 PH and 2055 ppm. Small improvement from last time but still off the charts and I'm starting to think it's something in the soil that brings down the PH and gives the high ppm. Today's feeding water gave 6.0 PH & 936 ppm (nuts included). Every day is a new experience for me and Im hoping to learn as much as I can. Stay tuned for updates.

Veg day 36, begginng of week 6. it was time for defoliation so i removed the majority of the fan leaves from the 4 plants and a day after and i can defently see the rapid growth. some of the plants are showing signs of calmag defecioncy so i added 7ml of sensi calmag xtra over 10L of hard water balanced on 6.08 ph and 560ppm( with added calmag). runoff water gave 4.77 ph and 1659ppm. since its my first time growing i just can decide about which technique to go with. should i LST? scrog? supercropping+scrog?

Day 45 of Veg, middle of week 7. Today I made the Switch from LED Lights to 600W Dual Spectrum HPS. I'm using S&P 800CFM inline duct for Carbon filter and the 6inch cooltube i added to cool down the heat that this light bulb it spreading (29.1 C and keep on climbing up). i also installed the SCROG net (as u can see in pics) , broke one of the strands of one plant and turned it into supercrop, put some bandage on it and hope for it to heal. I truly hope everything will go as planed!
