when they turn dark it usually means that you have overfed them with nutrients.. do you know how much you have fed them (preferably by testing with an EC meter).. if not with an EC meter, than can you explain how much of what product you used? It doesn't seem at this point that she has any tip-burn (which would be a sign of overfertilization).
I would let her dry out a bit and wait with the next watering, and then just use PH'd water without any nutrients. (If you have an EC meter i would recommend to measure the EC of the run-off).
happy growing!

thank you all so much! :)
checked on them this morning and they’ve picked back up.
i’m growing using coco, feeding on every 3rd water or so. other than than they’re watered with PHd water :)
mixture is nice and loose throughout pot so roots can get oxygen etc x

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Just let them dry almost completely b4 her nxt water/feeding.. Its a mistake we've all made.. She will b ok tho.. She'll just slow down for a couple of days then pick back up again.. Essentially wen she's overwatered she's technically suffocating (her roots breath!).. Dont cover with anything tho as this will encourage evaporation in the medium.. Stay safe n gud luck with her around harvest.. 👍🍀

Dark green leaves like that usually points to nitrogen toxicity. Maybe you overfed them? If so you may need to flush the plant and balance your nutes and ph. Check your ppm and make sure that’s in range. If you are able to test the runoff water or the soil that’ll probably point you in the right direction.

Harvest time / final feedingWhat do you guys think about harvest time/feeding?
7,5 and 12,5lt - 2 weeks, max 3 weeks. Thinking of switching to plain water or give overdrive one more week then switch to plain water
12,5 stretched one - 3 weeks. Add nutes for another week, then switch to plain water
Thanks5y ago

Today, I switch a few over to Professor Bruce Bugbee's soil-less mix :
50% Vermiculite
50% Peat Moss
(& some gypsum and dolomite lime..)
However instead of using Vermiculite I put Perlite, like an idiot!😜
Should that be fine until ready to transplant to super soil in due course?Week 2
