Hey guys, so it's barely been a week since my last update but I feel this is worth showing. Tons of new hair growth (pistils) and the buds are starting to plump nice. What I want to ask you guys is do you think I should feed them still or just keep feeding clean ph'd water till I chop them. I'm chopping between July 1 and July 10. I'm assuming that the great deal of stress these girls have been through has slowed their process down a little, ultimately resulting in a longer flowering stage I'm sure. Anyway, have a look and leave me your comments.

I'm not going to say your doing anything wrong, but your lady's are very tiny. I don't think they should be THAT small. What I have seen in my experience is that, when you see plants that small it is because your lights are to close. Maybe someone will back me up on this, or I might be wrong, and that is just the stran.

They're a foot tall and getting approx. 55000 LUX in 3.9 sq./ft. Roughly 20000 lumens I think.
When I said tiny, I meant your whole plant looks miniaturized. Very small fan leaves. Even it being a foot tall your leaves should be 2-3 times that size. What can cause this is your lights being to close.

Perhaps. LED's were no more than 12" above canopy. They are small, this I know all too well lol. Completely new setup for next time. But, what about my initial question....

Looking over your pics again (very cool looking btw). I can tell you have removed your large fan leaves, removing leaves is a really bad idea (unless they're dead). I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but cutting them off slows them down a lot. If your trying to get more light down into the plant, just use LST.

I here ya. I cut them off because they were just insanely sickly looking. I only cut full leaves off that were totally damaged and leaves that were partially green had only the degraded dead parts chopped. IMG_3347.JPG

I always give just water the last 2 weeks before harvest. Some people feed up to 1 week away, and then do a flush the last week.

Well I think I'll just water with plain water then. No sense in risking further issues so close to go time.

From the looks of that pic, you have a lot more time. None of the hairs have turned red. I would guess you still have a good month of flowering. They may have more then one problem going on. From the looks of it they are screaming for some N. Unless you have been feeding them heavily.

Ok....lol I guess I'll feed 'em. They haven't eaten in two weeks.

I was feeding worm juice, a worm casting tea, until a month ago. Could it be too much N from that? Remember it had locked out too. I had to flush 12L through each pot to get run off at the proper PH.

They look a bit over watered to me also. What's your schedule like? Part of your problem might be the roots are not getting enough air.

They were flushed last Sunday. I had the heater on and a larger fan blowing on the pots with the door open for 6hrs tonight. They're still damp.

Feel free to take this or leave it, but if they were my plants. What I would do for the next 2 week is, 1st let the pots dry out, unless your leaves start drooping, then and only then give them more fresh water. Keep a fan on them, on low. Start foliar feeding them with 1/4 strength veg nutes. Two times a day, making sure they are dry between spraying. With 1/4 strength you shouldn't see any burning, if you do, stop of course.
