Flush, it looks like you have a classic case of N toxicity. Dark green leaves, claws, the whole nine. Remember to start off with half of the dose recommended on the bottle.

Hello friend, Trainwreck is one of those strains that does have a tendency to get tall and lanky...you can battle this with lst, hst, topping etc. But it just is the nature of the beast. Some breeders have managed to get some to show less of that trait but not much. Do what you can and then just plan on possibly needing some bamboo stakes to support her later in flowering. 👍

Runoffs are significantly below inputs-Do I have a problem?Runoff continues to be a mystery. When watering I continue to get significantly less Ph and PPM (4.8 ph and 109 ppm) than my inputs (6.2 ph and 155 ppm) but the plant looks healthy. I have no idea what is going on or if its even a problem. Should I be worried and what can I do?

Too little calcium in early flower?I’m in the early weeks of flower and am seeing this happening. I thought it was due to an attempt at foliar feeding, but those initial problem leaves have been trimmed. Is this a calcium deficiency, and if so, how can I address it? (NLS top dress/coconut powder/recharge)

Nutrient burn symptoms?I may have slightly burned my plants based on the burnt tips. But do tiny brown spots near the tips also mean the same thing?
