I literally just trimmed and jarred that grow today. It turned out pretty good but these are the things I think I did wrong...Brother I was having the same battle with worrying about.my ladies yesterday a day today as well. They look almost identical. I've grown for a few years previously... but that was almost a Decade ago. When I saw the bid formation it wasn't what I was used to seeing. So I panicked a little and started researching.View attachment 4889228View attachment 4889229
1. LED too close to the plants during flower. My top buds/leaves were kind of crispy and they dried faster than the lower, smaller stuff becuase they were already fried from the light
2. I fed too much early on. I was trying to mix my nutes at like 900ppm and I developed some nitrogen toxicity(really dark green leaves) and nutrient lockout resulting in calcium deficiency and probably others.
3. Salt build up. I'm in coco and I was only feeding once a day and not to enough runoff. I let too much water in the medium evaporate between feedings resulting in salt build up.
This current grow I made sure I have plenty of headroom in my tent for the light. Ill probably not exceed 600-700 ppm at any point. And I'll be feeding many times through the day and night to ensure the coco is always wet and doesn't get a chance to evaporate. A big take away from this grow for me is that its easier to diagnose/fix a deficiency caused by weak feed strength than one cause by overfeeding/lockout. So start low and go up. Also, more runoff when in doubt.
Either way I didn't need to stress so much because I still got a good yield and learned along the way.
