I'll bump you with these questions. Was your light ever too close to heat them?
Did your plant start to flower, and then you let it go to re-veg?

Hope your grow goes well.

Hey thanks for the response, never started to flower but the light was too close to them but I fixed that. Could the lights being too close impact it?

That area was probably affected, but as ghgou812 said, they look great. You have nice growth after that so I think you fixed it when you moved the light. :peace:

Using a 400w dimmed 50% isn't a good idea the bulb needs to be running at its full power rating to produce its full light spectrum you will loose a lot of blue light which is vital for veg, dimm the ballast but use a lamp to suit or just run you 400 at full power, I had twisted growth like this before it was down to a lack of boron your plants are quite established now so I would give them full dose of nutes as your growing in an inert medium and all it's getting is what your putting in the plant overall doesn't look happy deep ridges between veins on some leaves another trait of a lack of boron lower leaves seem to be yellowing and dieing off other leaves look like there curling a bit as we'll. Are you supposed to use bloom and grow together seems odd your doing this usually you use grow for veg and bloom for flowering I've never used flora but you might want to check. I solved my problem by flushing them with fresh water left them for a few days to dry out a bit then gave them full dose of nutes everything went back to normal after a week bear in mind I was using soil.

Hey, thanks for your input. I've been told from numerous sources, and their own youtube channel, to use all three together. When flowering I think I'll drop off the MICRO since it has a higher percentage of nitrogen. I was running the bulb 50% dimmed for the time being until I get proper venting set up since temps are already at 85F with a fan. I switched to flower today and the bulbs are at 100% now.
