Hi, first time grower here. Ive 4 monster gorilla glue photo's at week 6(inc 2 @ seedling) growing in coco and 22L fabric pots/bags, in a 1200mm Sq 2.2m high grow tent. My set-up is a Maxibright daylight 480W pro LED, Phresh hyperfan V2 silenced 150mm extraction. Carboair fllter. Active fresh air feed from outside by 2no. PC fans. Vitalink hydromax grow A + B nutes as directed along with rootstim, silicone, calmag. I started with an Easyfeed system but my coco just sat in the solution for like 2.5 hrs and I stuck my finger in the top of the medium and it was bone dry so im not sure whether they just don't work or I did something wrong? Anyhow since day one Ive top watered them. Temp is now around 26C RH 50-55%. I had a problem around week 3 with taco leaf/canooing but that was sorted with higher humidity as my temps were high at 28-29 - the higher humidity brought the temp down. Plus I was trying to ram the LED as close as it would go only understanding later that you don't need the light right on top of the plants for veg.
Hows it looking? - I noticed a taco-leaf situation this morning right at the end of the 18 hour stint, crappily I forgot to photograph it, but I measured the leaf temps at around 24C, rt was 26C, rh around 50 I think. but its rectified.
here's how they are atm.

I forgot to add - for my first grow I got it into my head that I wanted to try mainlining (the plant) so I painstakingly topped, tried to tie down and broke stuff. Basically I couldn't complete it because it got to the stage where every time I went into the tent I broke a branch, Ive lost 8 colas in total in 3 or 4 accidents. But accidents aside - what a FAFF. Im too hamfisted for that nonsense so next grow is 9 week autoflowers and just let 'em grow. I know I won't get the same yield p/plant but Im doubling the tent size. That 2nd photo has only 3 colas as I lost a full side of 4 then another single.

They look pretty good to me. Nice job so far for a first grow.

Thanks for that. i’ve had a problem lately with taco leaf at the end of the 18 hours light period. A photo is below. Also, I heavily defoliated the girls as i’d not touched them at all for about 5 weeks due to the accidents i had with the losing several colas. Then 2 days later i went in again with the scissors and removed all the supplemental colas that had also grown and were crowding the canopy. So now it turns out with some supplemental colas kept i’m back nearly to my original goal. Oh and on monday i got CO2 (bottled) so that’s now running.

This is the taco leaf situation

temp 28.5C r/h 62% leaf temps 26-27C
Does anyone have any input about the taco leaf?
i’ve just read that it might be my fan blowing on the plants - as this prob has only just started about a week. And looking at the leaves near the fan, they look dried more, so i’ve lifted my fan so it’s only slightly blowing over the tops, not blowing on them a lot like it was before. I hope it sorts it as everything else is ok they should thrive with the CO2. And this taco leaf - when the lights come back on it’s gone, until the next morning.

Looks good to me. I have fucked up before with mainlining; cut half the plant down and it put everything into the other half.

and the taco leaf ? would you say i’m right about the fan? - i’ll know for sure by the morning as i’m moving the fan today.
and yeah the same happened i lost half the plant but what with those extra colas growing i’m back on target
