I was trying to figure out what to do with these HUGE fan leaves on the TS. I wasn't going to cut them, and tucking wasn't helping much. I took some hemp string and tied the fan leaves in a "taco" like shape. Will this hurt anything?

Fed both again last night. 1/4 FF BB and TB. The hijack seems to have slight nute burn, but the buds are coming in nicely @ 23 days since popping out of the soil. Watering PH was 7.0 Runoff was 6.7, so soil should be around 6.4. All pics are of the hijack (except for the family pic).

My hijack is 27 days old today and I've noticed that her stems have been purpling. I noticed this a couple of weeks ago and just figured it was part of her genetics, but now it looks like the % of purple stems is increasing. She has been on 1/4 FF nutes for 2 feeding and was going to up it to 1/2 today. She showed very slight nute burn after administering nutes but not bad. I feel like her growth has stunted a bit too. Other than this slight hiccup, she's been really impressive with her grow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Comin along nicely bro..
I had the purple stems on a previous grow but that was due to slightly cold temps when lights off, didn't have much effect that I noticed.. Looks like vertical growth has stopped and is concentrating on bud growth..

Thanks for the feedback bro. Yeah, she's already over 2 ft so you're probably right about the vertical growth. I'll just carry on w the nutes as planned and monitor. Temps are good for me 73-79 ish and I know ph and ppms are good as well.

TS is doing good. She just got upped to 1/2 nutes last night. Showing a little bit of nute burn, but nothing major. She's just a lot bushier than the hijack so a lot of the lower level budsites are being shadowed. She's 4 days ahead of the HJ and has just started budding.

No status change, just thought I'd upload some pics to get them off my phone

Hijack auto @35 days. For a particular small amount of nutes and no LST she has beautiful natural symmetry. This being my first ever grow I don't have anything to compare her to, but her buds seem rather thick for 35 days. Trichs look amazing; very sticky.

The TS is still doing well. I did have to end up flushing her though. I wasn't sure what the problem was so thought I'd start with a clean slate. Also, I trimmed some of the big fan leaves. We'll See how she reacts.

Also, this is my transiberian auto. She's @day 41 and has really been a slow mover. The hijack is a week younger and has wayyy more developed buds. The TS isn't producing trichs at all--what can contribute to this happening? Ffof soil/using 1/2 strength Big bloom and tiger bloom/7.5ml camg/ph in 6.5/ph out 6.4/ ppms 1950/ temp 73-79*F/RH 50-60%/ tent is pretty tight @ 20"x36"x62". Light is kind l450. The last pic is the hijack as a comparison.

So, everything seems to be going ok. Was having a calmag deficiency with the Hijack Auto that was treated with additional nutrients/rapid lime/Epsom salt. Seems to be doing okay now.
The Transiberian Auto is too big for my space. so many bud sites down below that just can't develop cause how damn bushy she is. To be honest, I'm just trying to manage her until I can get my Hijack out of the tent and get some side lighting in on the TS (she is showing so much promise though).

I'm definitely not in any rush but I think I'll be lucky if the Hijack goes 8.5 wks. It's 41 days today. I have seen Hijack autos being harvested in 56 days with pretty amazingly developed and frosty buds.

These are some pictures of the Hijack @42 days. That PH7.0 bottles is a little over 6"

I have a Transiberian that is 50 days today. She has a ton of bud sites and is bushy as hell. She has been shooting up for about 2 weeks now and is right at 36" in height. The issue is that the bud sites aren't producing any trichs...at all...
Ph in/out good
RH ~50%
71-77*F
kind l450 @ 10" from canopy
ppms 2100 (is this too high)
in 5 gallon pot FFOF
calmag
epsom salt
rapid green
FF Tiger bloom
FF big bloom

is is there anything that can be causing this

*shes not showing any signs of deficiencies
*I did prune a bit about 1.5 wks ago.
