I was 1st diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in my early 50's. I'm pretty sure it was the cause of severe thumb pain I had.. At the time I couldn't crush a can without a lot of pain. Make sure your blood sugar levels are good. Once my blood sugar levels improved the pain went away,
From google:
High blood sugar can cause diabetic neuropathy, which damages the nerves that send signals from your hands and feet. Diabetic neuropathy can cause numbness or tingling in your fingers, toes, hands, and feet. Another symptom is a burning, sharp, or aching pain (diabetic nerve pain)


Arthritis is another possibility.

Pain is the first and most common symptom of thumb arthritis. Pain can occur at the base of your thumb when you grip, grasp or pinch an object, or use your thumb to apply force. Other signs and symptoms might include: Swelling, stiffness and tenderness at the base of your thumb.
I don’t have diabetes, my thumbs hurt from doing manual labor. From pinning connectors and terminating wires.

Thanks for trying to help. But they hurt cause I don’t have as much callus on my fingertips because I don’t really do manual labor like I used to.

Sounds great!
I mention it because early detection is important if it was diabetes.

No substitute for HPS, eh? Lookin' good. You and your plant...
Lols. Thank you sir;)

Outdoor season is just about to start here and now I’m torn as to whether to go back out or stay in. I love growing outside but I have to chase the sun all day which can be hard at times with neighbours and visitors etc. So I’ll probably try and find a happy medium between the two - maybe veg out and flower in?

She looks good. You say HPS how much? I'm assuming either one 1000 or two 600s. If I were you I'd trim everything 12 - 18" from your growing medium or you'll get a lot of bottom popcorn that's beyond frustrating to trim and steals from the top colas.
I agree. That’s what I did. Not only for popcorn but for air flow and mould too.
So I vegged them under 2 x 600 and decided to add another 600 on the floor in between them when I flipped.

This is the Chrystal on the other side of the room. Completely wasn’t ready for the “stretch” being first time indoor so should’ve been training her way earlier! But she’s coming along. 619E40DF-D7AE-4588-939B-453DBF6AA665.jpeg

You can reduce your stretch indoors by feeding higher nitrogen in your first two weeks. I'd take a lot more off the bottom and I'd thin inside her as well. She's very dense. You can also harvest in stages harvesting the top then giving the bottom more time to mature but even then you get a lot more larf.

Your plants look very nice for first time indoors. Next time flip them 2-3 weeks earlier or thin a little more ruthlessly.

Also make SURE you take a clone or two in case you get a jackpot pheno. I'm assuming this is from seed.

You let it get too big. You'd be better off hanging the lights on the side and doing a vert grow.
I agree they are to big for the lights. But she can mitigate that a little bit by thinning and then harvesting sequentially but 2-3 weeks earlier flip would have been the sweet spot.
