I just love HID lights. I use a 250 watt, a 400 watt, and a 1,000 watt. The 1,000 watt burns my shaved head when I bump into it.

My two 5'+ plants are in a mix of organic soils with no additional nutrients added or fertilizers and their leaves look like that too. I have short little Deep Purple in a one gallon that is months old and it has the same appearance and the soil should be pretty well depleted, but the leaves look similar. I've never seen a noticeable difference after flushing once they look funky like that. Different plants are more or less-finicky. It's a living organism. My plants are six weeks into flower and don't appear to have any problems besides the appearance is not perfect. You have to ride it out.

Check this out. It's my 1982 woods grow above a cemetery. We had two expired sister's gravestones we lugged out to the woods. Out of a mysterious pile of nun's and sister's tombstones that a crooked, polluting, cemetery care-taker removed for unknown reasons. So we took two as evidence in case he ever got in trouble over it. Plus, we were 17 year old punk rockers and old gravestones seemed pretty cool for a grow-site. I know, I'm going to hell. His place turned out to be a major source of pollution as he had an illegal dump hidden in the woods which pollutes a creek to the SF Bay to this day. But he's long-dead. Farmer King they called him.

This is my personal grow for my medicinal needs. Blue cheese, headband 818, and skunk 47. 3000watts hps and metal halide, cheap wide open hoods.
Two weeks since they've been repotted into 10 and 7 gallon smart pots. I topped them a few days ago. They're already bushing out even more. I use the tomato cages to train them into a sea of green of sorts. The taller stalks get pulled to the outside of the cage, using its bars and spokes for LST. So the lower inside canopy can catch up and the top of the cages along with a nice ring outside the cage, will be filled with bud heads.
Soil is recycled soil that was mixed with compost, worm castings, kelp, crab shell meal, fish bone meal, and neem cake. Then aged for three months...then mixed in with some composted cow manure before transplant. Top dressed with more neem cake and kelp, and then mulched with the wood, and twigs I sifted out of my home made compost.
Once a week they get a aact of home made worm castings and molasses. Other than that just water and a home made fulvic acid.

I have plants do that too. I wish plants would somehow flush fast of recover from poor soil visibly, but it doesn't seem to happen. I just ride out whatever problems or bad appearances show up. I flush too. Doesn't correct the suffering look. I undernourish too. And it stunts them, which is good to save room if you have too much going, but recovery of a plant in crap-soil is just as bad. But, buds are all new growth, so who cares in the end? Can't have all the plants turn out like the perfect ones. I have three Deep Purple clones off a mother I revegged (half literally died down the middle sort of) and which is now gonna bud late again outside. So slow growing. omg. The ones in the dirt aren't three feet tall by much. Even in clones there's a better growing one of course. Many of these plants look ill, but they'll bud fine. Suffered from indoor to outdoor transition. I have one seed-plant off this Deep Purple which is X 9Lb Hammer. Random. Some others X Ripped Bubba.

this is a really strong compost im making to plant my veggings in. kinda my version of a "super soil". its a storage tub of leaf compost and 10 gallons of fermented kitchen garbage in bokashi.
i layered leaf compost and bokashi a few times then added 5 gallons of fermented kitchen garbage then layered leaf compost and bokashi a few more times then 5 more gallons of fermented kitchen garbage then a few more layers of leaf mold and bokashi
i dispersed 2 cups of steamed bone meal and 1/2 cup of BD500 into the layers as i made this. clearly doesnt look like anything in the pictures since its just dirty dirt stuff but this going to make some great dirty dirt stuff. i may veg out a bit into this stuff in 5 gal pots. it should feed it 2 or 3 life cycles safely lol but every FKG is different so still gotta pay attention.
heres my current fermented kitchen garbage grow. nearing finish. maybe a month left
its all the same jupiter og mother. really tolerant plant.
flowering under 800w split into two sides of the tent
vegging under 26.5w

Have you ever tried adding some red wrigglers at this stage? might speed things up a little if they like the conditions

i forgot to mention 2 gallons of vermicastings by african night crawlers. they're surface poopers and eat as fast as red wigglers. makes for easy harvesting. i didnt add adults though because i just assume that the castings contain eggs ass well. i havent really figured out where they leave egg nests but they definitely breed like crazy through my potted plants. i can theyre ANC because the piles of surface castings. but i originally started my vermibeds with 100ct ANC from the tropics and have been breeding them since.

I'm not sure if I understood your question. The ugliest one is Deep Purple. The others near that plant are all different strains and although they all went outside at the same time and after the same indoor 18-hour schedule, some began to bud and others just grew like it was vegetative time. Some plants were budding for awhile then transitioned to new growth out of the beginning-to-bud phase from the drop in hours going from inside to outside. A few budded and did not reverse and I picked them in case someone steals it all. Seriously. I live in a known to be horrible area. The three Deep Purple clones of the ugly one all behaved the same. Started to bud then vegged and now budding for real. Two from-seed Jesus OG Kush plants also acted the same-started to bud and reversed course and are now budding. A Querkle x 9LB Hammer and Remedy CBD strain also stayed in vegetative and budding but kind of later than the rest.
