Id say you dont have to repot. Perlite at the bottom not a problem. Again i believe a flush and cal-mag is needed if not already.
First grow 5 weeks in flower

Vipar recommend 2 foot from light to plant canopy.
I started mine at 20 inches and letting them grow into it.No probs yet.
I think 8 inches is about the closest most users go with these lights,from my research before i bought the light.
So you might have bleached them a bit at 6 inches.
If the cal/mag doesnt bring them round a bit, you might need to flush as garden says.
If youve watered with plenty of run off each time to wash old salts out,she shouldnt really need a flush.

Great to hear all your thoughts! I did notice all my changes once I put the led in my grow and I think deff too low moving to 1ft above the top. I used 1 ml of cal-mag per litre which is stated on bottle I may try 2 ml per litre next feed if I don't see much change! I will keep this post running till the end, thanks again for all help and advice

Haha,howd you manage that?
Coco needs supplemented with cal/mag as it has a tendency to hold on to these nutes.
Thats why i think your nutes must have extra Ca and Mg in them,as you havent been
supplementing.
Have a look at this link,i found it helpfull.

Youre hardwater,so if you havnt had cal/mag defs in veg,there must be enough cal/mag in your tap water.If thats the case,be careful not to go too heavy on the cal/mag.
Im in a soft water area so have to supp. for coco and for led`s.
Read your girl,she will tell you when shes right.

Cant see your pic of triches very well.
But if you`re after some bud for xmas,why not give it 2 more weeks feeding,then 2 weeks flush and 2 weeks drying.
Personally,i dont flush anymore coz i cant tell the difference.
I feed right up to the end as buds can put on a bit of weight in the last 2 weeks and they need food to do that,but thats me.
When your buds start going hard and are less sticky to touch you shouldnt be far away
from harvest.

Thanks robro, I will try and get a clearer pic Of triches I'm waiting for a 60x loupe to be delivered as 20x I have isn't strong enough imo. I'm hoping another 4 weeks will be enough but not really sure to be honest but don't wanna chop too early as would be a waste of the last few months if I mess it up, maybe I could just use half nutes for the last 2 weeks and then flush on week 5 ?
