I had something that looked similar and was told its ph flucuaction, and not to worry. I think I had to try and keep the ph stable or within range.. But again.. I'm no expert. Is it old or new growth?

It's on older and newer leaves. She still seems to be growing well though... So...

Hijack and trans doing well. A bit mottling going on with the TS but she's still "growing like a weed" (see the beginnings of flower). Going to add 1/4 grow big and big bloom to the hijack (wk 2 day 2) and 1/4 big bloom and tiger bloom to the TS. This will be their first helping of nutes.... Wish me luck!

The leaves are folding in on the upper/newer growth of the transiberian. You think the nutes and calmag will rectify this?

I am using 5 gal regular pots (but just ordered 3gal equiv airpots. I use the kind L450 led: http://kindledgrowlights.com/product/led-grow-light-review-k3-l450/

I am really impressed with the light. There are a few ppl on this site that claim its rebranded junk, but I've had A+ experience this far. They have a 12 band proprietary spectrum.

Two weeks into my grow I posted this: http://rollitup.org/t/if-you-are-new-to-led-and-want-help-choosing-what-to-buy-post-here.633304/page-283#post-11416863

I think I have a similar model led to yours, grow northern ms0006. I'm impressed with mine also.. I use 10l airpots ( not sure what that is in gallons ), i can defo recommend them.. Only thing is you gotta water slowly other wise it all pours out the holes, but the roots you get from them is worth it.

Yeah that unit looks pretty similar. Sounds like your air pots are 3 gallon equiv too. Thanks again for your help and recommendations. I've noticed that ppl on this forum don't seem as active as others. Or maybe I'm just not very interesting... :)

I was more joking than anything. Maybe one day I'll be able to help you out. I actually read your led post yesterday and felt that there was nothing I could share in my very limited experience that would be value added :) my hijack started flowering yesterday (or so I noticed it yesterday) in just over 2 wks. Pretty surprising to me.

So they seem to have responded well to the 1/4 nutes given to them last week. The TS is very bushy w huge fan leaves. Is there anything I can do to ensure the lower level gets ample light??? I got a few 13.5w cree leds for side lighting... We'll see if that helps. The hijack has really taken off the past week and is now as tall as the TS (a tad over 1ft). The hijack also started budding after 15 days. More flowering on the younger hijack than the transiberian. I am going to give reg h20 next feeding (sometime within the next day or two). Then later on in the week will start the bloom Nutes. Also lowered the light to approx 15". First two pics are the hijack, 3rd pic is of the trans.

Some decent growing ladies you got there bro!! Maybe some light bondage work on the TS lady to help with light penetration? She looks like she gonna be chunky.

appreciate it No1. Yeah, she's a jungle. I was conflicted on lst-ing on my first grow cause I didn't want to mess anything up. By "light bondage" work are you suggesting some type of lst-ing to pull the big fan leaves down? Hopefully the little side lighting (4x 13.5 actual watts (75 equiv)) will help too.

So it's been about a week since my first nute feeding. They seemed to be responding well. Just fed ph'd calmg tap water. I've noticed new growth yellowing (just at the tips) and the leaves curling down (kind of drooping) and twisting? Any ideas? I'm thinking slight nute burn/maybe overwatering...??? Any help would be awesome! First pic is the TS and second is the Hijack.

My guess would be the same as yours..it looks like that fan leaf in the 2nd pic has a hint of yellow coming though as well. Might jus be the pic
